The issue is the price of upgrading Outlook storage space, and many users have to either spend a good chunk of time deleting old emails or paying up for Outlook 365. It costs $69.99 a year, by the way. This service also gives you access to the full Office suite, but it only increases email storage from 15GB to 50GB.

Considering this is the only way to upgrade Outlook storage, it’s no wonder people are furious, especially when Microsoft’s largest competitor offers a far superior deal. Gmail also starts at 15GB in its free plan, but if you happen to reach this limit and don’t particularly care for deleting old emails, you can upgrade to 100GB for $19.99 a year. This provides double the amount of space for less than a third of the price when compared to Outlook. However, keep in mind that this storage space limit is shared with Google Drive as well, meaning that all of that space could easily get used up if you’re frequently uploading large files onto the cloud. Additionally, Microsoft has its own cloud service that comes with Microsoft 365 called OneDrive, and the $69.99 subscription gives you 1TB of storage space. Regardless, Google still offers a cheaper alternative for those looking to just upgrade their email storage space. This means Outlook users who have reached their storage limit are in a bit of a predicament. They can either start a yearly subscription for $69.99 or begin working through deleting their emails, many of which have probably been there for ten or so years.
