Since a PDF version will be a much smaller file size, doing this will minimize the storage space you’re using within your course and allow students to view or download the file easier. One of the best ways to share your PowerPoint presentation content with your students in Canvas is to export the presentation as a PDF. Depending on the kind of PowerPoint that is being used, there may be other storage options to consider, which don’t take reduce your storage quota and may even provide a better experience for your students. It appears that each option is monthly only.Now that you’ve added all of your course content to Canvas, you may realize that PowerPoint files can often use up a big portion of each Canvas course’s size limit of 500 MB. Note that there’s no way to save money by purchasing additional storage for one year. (Yes, an individual could technically get 6 GB of OneDrive storage with the Family subscription, but it would be separated into 1 TB chunks between 6 different Microsoft accounts.) So it appears that the maximum amount of storage an individual can get from Microsoft now is 2 TB, by combining Microsoft 365 Family (or Personal) with the 1 TB of additional OneDrive storage at a minimum cost of $200 per year. Previously, that included Microsoft 365 Family and Microsoft 365 Personal, but now it also includes the low-cost Microsoft 365 Basic too. There’s always a catch: you can only add additional OneDrive storage to an account with a Microsoft 365 subscription. Now, you can choose among the following:īut there’s a catch.

Indeed, Microsoft has significantly expanded the availability of OneDrive extra storage plans. Microsoft says it will automatically transition existing OneDrive 100 GB subscribers to Microsoft 365 Basic on January 30, so the assumption was that paid OneDrive storage plans were going away. This is clearly tied to the introduction of Microsoft 365 Basic, which replaces its only OneDrive storage upgrade plan, for 100 GB of storage, and adds an ad-free experience for just $20 per year (or $2 per month).

–PaulĪfter years of offering just a single OneDrive storage upgrade choice, Microsoft has quietly added several new storage tiers to its cloud storage service. UPDATE: I’m going to leave this as-is since it’s probably not well known, but it’s possible these upgrade options were available previously.
