Our verdict
Microsoft 365 / OneDrive Backup is a fit for Microsoft-centred teams that want a free egress allowance and broad regional reach, not for workloads priced purely on per-GB transfer. Egress runs at $0.08 after 100 GB per month free, and support runs on help centre and community.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Free egress of 100 GB per month free covers a steady monthly transfer load
- Egress price of $0.08 sits below Google Cloud's $0.12
- Available across 77 regions for multi-region backup placement
- Egress pricing ranks 64 of 72 on the site
Cons
- Egress of $0.08 is well above Vultr's $0 to $0.01
- Support runs on help centre and community, so it lacks a direct line for billing disputes
- Free egress stops at 100 GB per month free, and anything beyond it bills at $0.08
Who it suits
- Teams already invested in the Microsoft ecosystem who need backup alongside it
- Sites that transfer less than 100 GB per month free a month and want that egress to cost nothing
- Backup architects who need 77 regions to spread copies across
Who should look elsewhere
- Teams moving large volumes out of the platform, where Vultr's $0 to $0.01 is cheaper
- Buyers who need live agent support, since help centre and community cover self-service routes
- Workloads priced tightly against Google Cloud's $0.12 per GB

Frequently asked questions
How much does egress cost on Microsoft 365 / OneDrive Backup?+
Egress is priced at $0.08 per GB once the free allowance is used up. The 100 GB per month free allowance applies first each month, so light transfer work pays nothing for data out.
How much egress is included free each month?+
Free egress of 100 GB per month free is included, which is 100 GB per month. Beyond that volume, the standard rate of $0.08 per GB applies to further transfers.
How does this brand's egress price compare with Google Cloud?+
This brand charges $0.08 per GB, while Google Cloud charges $0.12. That puts Microsoft 365 / OneDrive Backup lower per GB, though neither offers an unlimited free tier in these figures.
How does the egress price rank against other providers here?+
On the site's egress ranking it sits at position 64 of 72 brands. The median price on that ranking is €0.01, so the rate here sits above the middle of the field.
How does it compare with Vultr and Aruba on egress?+
Vultr charges $0 to $0.01 and Aruba charges €0.05, both below the $0.08 here. Microsoft 365 / OneDrive Backup leans on its free allowance rather than on a low headline rate.
Which regions can the backup run in?+
Coverage spans 77 regions, which allows copies to be placed in a region near each site. The site median for location counts on this comparison is 4, so reach is broad.
What support is available?+
Support runs on help centre and community, meaning a help centre and community forums rather than a live phone or chat line. For billing questions that involve a large transfer bill, expect to work through those self-service routes.
Is the free egress allowance enough for a growing archive?+
It holds for transfer volumes under 100 GB per month free a month. Past that, the charge is $0.08 per GB, so an archive that starts copying heavily will move the cost quickly.
