Microsoft ends some standalone SharePoint and OneDrive plans
"The software giant delivered the news in a note for its partners, which explains it is "evolving its cloud storage and collaboration offerings and is retiring the standalone SharePoint Online (SPO) plan 1 and plan 2 and OneDrive for Business (ODB) plan 1 and plan 2 SKUs." SharePoint Online is a web-based version of Microsoft's collaborationware suite. Plan 1 costs $5 per user per month and includes 1TB of cloud storage."
"OneDrive for Business Plan 1 offers a terabyte of cloud storage at $5 per user per month. Plan 2 includes up to 5TB of storage, adds tools including data loss prevention, and can extend to provide 25TB of storage for users who are part of a team. Microsoft says its decision to kill the services "reflects low customer demand for standalone offerings, increased instances of unintended or nonstandard usage, and higher operational costs associated with maintaining these plans.""
