The user wants to cancel a Microsoft OneDrive subscription that was billed through Google Play but cannot locate the cancellation option in their standard Microsoft or Google accounts.

How to Cancel a OneDrive Subscription Purchased Through Google Play

Product: Microsoft OneDrive / Google Play
Device & OS: not provided
Scenario: Managing and canceling third-party app subscriptions to prevent unwanted renewal charges.
Observed behavior: The user is unable to find the subscription management page directly within the OneDrive app or Microsoft account, leading to confusion over how to stop payments.

Before you start

Ensure you are logged into the exact Google account used to make the initial OneDrive purchase on your Android device or web browser.

Solution 1Recommended

Cancel the Subscription via Google Play Store

Since the purchase was made through Google Play, the cancellation must be processed directly through Google's subscription management interface.

Subscriptions purchased through third-party platforms like Google Play are exclusively managed by that platform's billing system, not directly by Microsoft.

Open Google Play

Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device, or visit play.google.com on your web browser.

Access your profile

Tap or click on your profile icon located in the top right corner of the screen.

Navigate to Subscriptions

Select 'Payments & subscriptions' from the menu, then tap on 'Subscriptions'.

Cancel OneDrive

Locate the Microsoft OneDrive or Microsoft 365 subscription in your active list. Tap it, select 'Cancel subscription', and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm.

Cancel the Subscription via Google Play Store

Contacting Google Support: If the subscription does not appear in your list, you may be signed into the wrong account. If you still cannot find it, contact Google Play Support directly to verify the active purchasing account.

Solution 2

Verify Subscription Status via Microsoft Account

Check your Microsoft account to confirm the subscription source and find a redirection link to manage third-party billing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a refund after canceling my OneDrive subscription through Google Play?

Refunds are subject to Google Play's standard refund policies. Canceling a subscription primarily prevents future billing. If you need a refund for a very recent charge, you must request it directly through the Google Play support page.

Why isn't my OneDrive subscription showing up in my Google Play account?

The most common reason is being logged into a different Google account than the one originally used for the purchase. Double-check all personal, family, and work Google accounts associated with your device.

Will I lose my files immediately when I cancel OneDrive?

No. When you cancel, your subscription remains active until the end of the current billing cycle. Afterward, your account reverts to the free 5GB tier. If your files exceed this limit, your files become read-only and you cannot upload new ones, but they are not immediately deleted.
