dosya.dev vs OneDrive
OneDrive is the storage line item inside a Microsoft 365 subscription. dosya.dev is storage as the whole product: link controls on every plan, no per-file caps, and open protocols. Here is the honest comparison.
The short version
Choose dosya.dev if...
- You want storage without buying an office suite around it
- You share files with passwords, expiry and download limits on any plan
- You store files bigger than OneDrive's 250 GB cap
- You want S3, WebDAV, rclone and API access, and a choice of 46 regions
Choose OneDrive if...
- You need Word, Excel and PowerPoint anyway - 1 TB plus Office for $9.99/mo is strong value
- Your workflow lives inside Windows and Microsoft 365
- 100 GB for $1.99/mo is all the storage you need

Where dosya.dev pulls ahead
Storage that is not a bundle line item
OneDrive's standalone storage stops at 100 GB. Everything bigger arrives bundled inside Microsoft 365, priced around the Office apps. dosya.dev sells storage on its own: 100 GB for $3.99, up to 2 TB, with the same features at every tier. If you need Office anyway, the bundle is genuinely good value - the table above says so - but you should not have to buy a productivity suite to store files.
Sharing controls on every plan
On OneDrive, password-protected links and expiry dates are Microsoft 365 perks. On dosya.dev they are table stakes: every plan, free included, gets link passwords, expiry dates, download limits and file requests for collecting files from anyone.
No 250 GB ceiling
OneDrive caps individual files at 250 GB. dosya.dev has no per-file size limit on any plan - uploads are chunked and resumable, so disk images, raw footage and dataset archives upload once and survive flaky connections.
Open protocols, your region
dosya.dev speaks S3, WebDAV, rclone, a REST API and a CLI, and lets each workspace choose from 46 regions on 6 continents. OneDrive's consumer product offers none of those interfaces and no region choice.
Where OneDrive is a better fit
If you need Word, Excel and PowerPoint anyway, Microsoft 365 Personal is hard to argue with: 1 TB of storage plus the full Office suite for $9.99 a month. OneDrive is also part of Windows itself - the integration runs deeper than any third-party app can reach. And at the small end, 100 GB for $1.99 undercuts everyone, dosya.dev included.
Moving off OneDrive takes an afternoon
Desktop app
Drag your OneDrive folder into the dosya.dev desktop app and let sync do the rest.
rclone
rclone speaks to both services. One command copies your whole OneDrive into dosya.dev.
Remote downloads
Paste direct links and dosya.dev fetches the files server-side, without using your connection.
dosya.dev vs OneDrive, answered
Is dosya.dev a good OneDrive alternative?
If you want storage without an office suite attached, yes. OneDrive's bigger tiers exist only inside Microsoft 365 subscriptions, and its best sharing controls are reserved for subscribers. dosya.dev sells storage on its own terms: link passwords and expiry on every plan, file requests, no 250 GB per-file cap, S3 and WebDAV access, and a choice of 46 regions.
How do dosya.dev and OneDrive prices compare?
OneDrive's standalone storage tops out at 100 GB for $1.99/mo, which undercuts dosya.dev's $3.99/mo for 100 GB. Beyond that, OneDrive becomes a Microsoft 365 bundle: $9.99/mo buys 1 TB plus the Office apps. dosya.dev's 1 TB is $19.99/mo without an app bundle, so if you need Office anyway, Microsoft's bundle is the better deal - and the table above says so.
Can I move my files from OneDrive to dosya.dev?
Yes. Connect your OneDrive account and our servers copy your files and folders across for you. You can also drag your OneDrive folder into the dosya.dev desktop app, use rclone for a scripted copy, or paste direct links into remote downloads.
What is the largest file I can store compared to OneDrive?
OneDrive caps individual files at 250 GB. dosya.dev has no per-file size limit on any plan, and uploads are chunked and resumable so terabyte-scale files survive interruptions.
Does dosya.dev work with Windows like OneDrive does?
dosya.dev ships a Windows desktop app with folder sync, plus WebDAV so your storage can appear as a network drive in File Explorer. OneDrive's integration into Windows itself is deeper - it is part of the operating system - and the honest answer is that nothing third-party matches that.
Can I password-protect a shared link on the free plan?
On dosya.dev, yes: passwords, expiry dates and download limits are on every plan, including free. OneDrive reserves link passwords and expiry for paid Microsoft 365 subscribers.
