.... or am I misinterpreting it. Current situation: I love Onedrive and have the $1.99 Unlimited plan (100 gb storage). Am I going to be forced to pay $70 annually to continue while "360" is thrown in (foisted on me)?

P: OK, that's fine. Can I assume then that I would still be able to use it as before (save certain files to Onedrive folder so they are accesible to a number of devices?

Yes, it's just getting a new name and a couple of additional features.....but you aren't going to lose any existing functionality with this change.

I have the Microsoft 365 subscription and consider it an incredible bargain at 69.95/yr. I get a Terabyte of OneDrive and all of Microsoft Office. I use Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, and OneNote every day. I too love my OneDrive and right now have 201 GB used of my One Terabyte. Don't you just love it when you get a new computer and with OneDrive all you have to do is log in to Windows and all your data is instantly there?
