Guest access, a common collaboration feature in other cloud storage providers' ''free'' plans that allows users to invite others to anonymously upload files to a designated folder in their account (e.g., group vacation photos), is now restricted for subscribers to the personal tier to other logged-in Microsoft account holders, eliminating the anonymity aspect. Users who wish to continue inviting others to contribute files to their OneDrive storage without logging in with a Microsoft account must now upgrade to the more expensive OneDrive for Business. The ubiquity of the anonymous guest access model across other major cloud storage services, particularly established providers such as Dropbox, Google, and Proton, has proved an unwelcome surprise to both new and existing subscribers and has made OneDrive a less-attractive option in that sector by comparison.{{Citation needed|date=10 Apr 2026}}
