I've often wondered if there is a way you can be malicious with this, a way of 'beating' them at their own game.

1: Make random files full of absolute garbage data

2: Upload 5GB of garbage data, delete (free limit capacity)

3: Repeat 1 and 2, forever, 24/7.

At 10mbps it would take 68.3 minutes, at 50mbps it would take 13.7 minutes to upload 5gb.

At 10mbps you could upload 5gb 7665 times, at 50mbps 38,325 times a year.

that works out to 38,325gb/10mbps and 191,625 GB at 50mbps per year

So yeah, if Microsoft wants to allow a user to upload 10's of thousands of completely worthless useless bytes of data and delete and reupload why not?

Anyone care to think how many hard drives you could destroy with the constant writing? And you could also automate downloads too, so they have to deal with reads.

Let's see how long they want your 'data' for then ey?

Consider it a digital form of 'fly tipping' and it's completely free, legal and they have begged you to do it!
