Microsoft has always been very friendly to developers, to lure many developers to develop software applications on their own platform

In the early days, many benefits were given, but now some are out of print... However, today we would like to highlight the Microsoft 365 E5 Developer Program that still exists and is currently in effect.

The A1, E3, etc. that you missed before are no longer available. So don't miss out on E5 this time!

Let's take a look at what include in Microsoft 365 E5?

The first three sets should not be unfamiliar to you, basically, every office worker must have the office software.
The last few sets are less used, but the OneDrive cloud hard drive is really super useful, the speed of the connection is very fast, eat full broadband is the basic
And today's introduction of the E5 Developer Program's OneDrive directly to the face is 5TB capacity is not nagging ~
Each developer program can also open 25 sub-accounts, which is the same as 5TB x 25! The number is too many zeroes I will not calculate, you take your time to calculate.

In addition, this E5 Developer Program includes an Exchange Server service with a custom domain name that you can set your own domain name to!
You will have a superb email service with your own domain name! All this for free! No need to use other crappy hosting services!
And on iOS, you can use the built-in Mail.app to set up the Exchange mail service to receive live pushes.

Unlike Gmail, the push is semi-disabled!

According to the reports from many users

Because of the large number of registrants, it may take a few hours or days for Microsoft to prepare the OneDrive in your account.


How to renewal E5 subscription

This E5 license is only valid for three months, if you want to renew it, you must be an "Active developer".
That is to say, as long as you continue to use Microsoft development tools in serious development, Microsoft will continue to help you unlimited renewal
You can always enjoy free genuine Office Apps and 5TB of OneDrive, which is really a great benefit!

Here's how to set up a simple service that can trigger "active developers"

OneIndex-simple private cloud drive

OneIndex is a small program written in PHP, mainly to display the data files on Microsoft OneDrive.
The files will be downloaded directly from the Microsoft server, so the actual use will not take up the space and traffic of the installation server.
It's a bit like a OneDrive reverse proxy concept, mainly using OneIndex to trigger Microsoft's "Active Developer" standard to achieve unlimited renewal of E5 developer status.

Here is the GitHub source github.com/avedu/oneindex
