Hello,
I have selected High Quality for my pictures. Do I have to pay the fee for more storage? Photos is all I am uploading, no files or anything else.
Thanks.

Yes, OneDrive does not have the option of choosing High Quality and getting free unlimited storage – it’s only Google Photos that does that.
If you want to continue backing up photos to OneDrive, you have 2 choices:
- Pay for premium – I pay $70/year for Microsoft 365 and that also includes 1 Terrabyte of storage. That’s plenty for me.
- Set OneDrive to sync photos to your computer,then move the photos from the OneDrive folder to some other folder on your computer – this clears the storage space in OneDrive so you can stay under the 5GB free allotment
Let me know of further questions.
