  MICROSOFT 365

  

  By Peter Deegan

  Last week there were two big — and related — changes to Outlook.com and OneDrive.

  One is a way for Microsoft to gobble up more of your OneDrive quota. The other is a new Microsoft 365 plan, which might interest people with a perpetual license to Office 2021, 2019, and earlier.

  I’ll explain these changes in detail; in particular, I’ll explain why these two changes are related and how to deal with the fallout.

  Interesting email from WC:

  Lots of users having an issue with opening attachments on live.com andoutlook.com.  See if you can find out what’s going on.

  The only way to view the attachment is to forward it to another account.

  I have a problem when opening an attached file from live.com. it says ‘Access Denied.’ When I forward and then open these emails in my gmail account – there is no issue with downloading the attachments. Today I have been unable to download or view attachments to emails.  Things were working fine until now.

  With Chrome, I am redirected to an ‘Access id denied’ page and on Edge I get a ‘HTTP 500 error. That’s odd… Microsoft Edge can’t find this page. ‘This page can’t be displayed, because this site’s server might be under maintenance or there could be a programming error.’

  Can anybody else confirm or – more importantly – figure out a fix?
