They should just add a cap at 1 TB (plus maybe a pay option for more) and leave Onedrive as it was. And by that I mean: Onedrive like it was on Windows 8.1, with file representations. I convertet many people to their ecosystem in the Win8 days, but now my advice is a bit embarassing in retrospect as they do not prove to be reliable.
Its seems so silly. Like they give out unlimited storage and market the crap out of it. Then what do they expect consumers to do be stoked on having it but politely not use it? Then cutting storage down for it free tier... I don't know man I mean how much money do you really think they could be losing?
Seen from very far away and totally outside, this looks like an internal push-and-shove, with the (new ?) head of OneDrive saying "screw it, we're not paying out of our budget for the prizes that the hardware teams are handing out to their customers".
The worrisome part is that it took one month to sort this out. Sort of.
Microsoft made a decision to move away from the SharePoint/Groove "OneDrive for Business", mostly because of the broken sync engine.
I thought the OneDrive changes were driven by the enterprise considerations. Stubbing would be very useful to VDI and an uptick in solutions like VDI that commoditizes the Windows experience in a manner that isn't complimentary to Windows.
