So, apparently microsoft runs a developer program that is free to sign up for and unlimited and renewable for free as long as you do developer-y things like pushing changes in github every 90 days.


(shows 5tb, but dynamically allocates more as you store more stuff [assumption])

I've been using it for about 6 months now and have had no issues! super useful if you like to hoard data like me.

You also get free email hosting if you have a custom domain and access to a bunch of free apps, and it's PER USER!! You can literally have 15 users, each with 15 TB of storage, its kinda overpowered



here's the link: Microsoft 365 Developer Program


let me know if you try this out, this has been one of my favorite tech tips i've discovered this past year

DUDE. This is amazing. I just  tried this myself and made an account for my wife and I. Right now it says we have 5TBs, as you mentioned would this number theoretically go up the more space we use?

David V. Kimball yeah, i'm pretty sure it just allocates more space as you add more files. I haven't really confirmed this but it kinda blows my mind that microsoft can afford to just give away this much cloud storage lol

Yeah, no kidding. I've been adding my domain names and also setup up auto-email forwarding. I hope we can keep this lol. I've got access to 25 users/licenses, blowing my mind rn.

Thank you for sharing this!

So I push changes in GitHub relatively frequently - is it pretty clear what counts and what doesn't? I've looked through the FAQs and they're never specific sadly.

It just says "you get it if ur actively developing" but isn't very specific about what that means.

honestly my only github pushes have been small website updates every 2 weeks or so and it renewed it just based on that-- not even from my actual github account but the plasmic and vercel github connections. it legit just seems like any activity on your connected github account keeps it going
