Manage or Cancel via the Google Play Store
Use the Google Play app or website to view, manage, or cancel your third-party billed OneDrive subscription.
When you purchase a subscription through Google Play, the billing and subscription lifecycle are handled entirely by Google, even if the service is provided by Microsoft. Therefore, you must use Google's subscription management interface to make any changes.
On your Android device, open the Google Play Store app. Alternatively, visit play.google.com on a web browser.
Tap your profile icon located in the top right corner of the screen.
Select 'Payments & subscriptions' from the menu, then tap on 'Subscriptions'.
Locate 'Microsoft OneDrive' in your list of active subscriptions. Tap on it to manage your payment methods, change your plan, or cancel the subscription.
Contact Google Support for Billing Assistance
If you cannot find your subscription in the Google Play Store or require a refund, you must contact Google Support directly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why doesn't my OneDrive subscription show up in my Microsoft account portal?
Subscriptions purchased through third-party retailers like Google Play or the Apple App Store are managed entirely by that platform's billing system. Consequently, they do not appear in Microsoft's internal payment or subscription management portals.
Can Microsoft Support help me cancel my Google Play OneDrive subscription?
No, Microsoft representatives do not have access to third-party billing systems. You must manage, review, or cancel your subscription directly through the Google Play Store or by contacting Google Support.
Will I lose my files immediately if I cancel my OneDrive subscription?
No. When you cancel your subscription through Google Play, your premium storage remains active until the end of the current billing cycle. After that, your account will revert to the free tier. Your files will not be deleted immediately, but you will not be able to upload new files or send/receive emails via Outlook if you exceed the free storage quota.
