Goodbye, Windows Phone!

I've been using Windows Phone for quite some years, despite of its insignificant market share. With a windows phone, I can easily sync data between my laptop and my phone, and the good integration of MS Office is also something I need, especially when I am on the go.
The current device on my hands is a LUMIA 930, not bad, except for battery. Just before I am ready to replace my Lumia 930 with a Lumia 950XL, I suddenly realized, that HERE Drive will stop supporting Windows Phone 10, or Windows 10 Mobile, whatever the name is. This reminds me another question: Will Microsoft upgrade my Lumia 930 from WP 8.1 to WP 10, or whatever it is called? And when? Supposed to be some time last year, according to some articles I read from the internet, but nothing is happening so far.
I can still survive without WP 10, but without Here Drive, what APPs are found handy and useful, which can bring a bit of convenience to my daily life? I don't count anything from windows store. Now an email from Microsoft pops up from my screen, saying that only 5 GB storage space, instead of 15 GB, will be provided as free service of Onedrive to non-subscribers. I subscribed to MS Office 365 and also have 10 GB loyalty-bonus in addition, thus this shrinked 10 GB does not really affect me, but I still don't feel comfortable with the change, and all the changes I've noticed from Micorsoft in the past months.

What can I do?

Goodbye, windows phone. And good luck!
