There were times when people didn’t have any other option but to carry their data in external storage devices such as USBs or hard drives. Whatever may be the case, carrying important data in such devices always carried a risk. And that risk was losing important data.
Since USBs tend to be small in size and easy to carry, you could easily misplace or forget them at your office or a friend’s place. Furthermore, hard drives were a burden to carry and not a preferred choice in most cases. Thanks to the immense revolution in technology; what we have today is as simple, secure and efficient as it could get.

Cloud storage platforms such as OneDrive are great tools to share and store data, along with many other features. One of them is a ‘Referral Bonus’. Let us discuss how it works and helps users in terms of storage.
What is OneDrive referral bonus?
Microsoft, like many other tech-giants, offers a referral bonus to its users. A referral bonus is a program in which the users get extra storage upon inviting friends to use the service. This is basically an amazing marketing strategy as it allows the developers to extend their product range through their users and in return, the users earn free space. It’s a win-win situation.
With OneDrive, both you and your friends can receive an additional 500 MBs of storage. The maximum you can receive is 10 GB. With so much space, you can store almost everything!
How to get OneDrive referral bonus?
Microsoft 365 Subscription
The first way to get additional OneDrive storage is by subscribing to Microsoft 365’s personal plan. Precisely, you will be getting an extra 1TB of free space. Furthermore, if you were to be a subscriber of the Microsoft 365 Family, you will get a mammoth 6TB of storage space. Imagine what you can’t do with such an enormous amount of space!
Subscribe to OneDrive 100GB
If you cannot afford to subscribe to Microsoft 365, don’t worry, there is an affordable option available. You can subscribe to OneDrive’s 100GB which will cost you $1.99 per month. As a result, you will be getting 100GB of free storage. Of course, it is a tiny amount as compared to the storage you receive upon subscribing to Microsoft 365 but it should be sufficient for a moderate user.
Get Yourself a Referral Bonus
As already mentioned, you will be receiving 500MB of storage space upon referring this service to your friends. Both you and your friends will be receiving the same amount of storage space. Therefore, you can invite your family members, friends and colleagues and get free storage space for each referral. However, Microsoft puts a limit of achieving a maximum of 10GB free space, using this method.
- Visit the Microsoft Outlook account and head into the Storage section.
- Click ‘earn more’, which is located right in front of the Referral bonus option
- This will generate a link that you can share with your friends and colleagues
- You can also share it on Facebook, via email, on Twitter and LinkedIn etc.
