I do not use any of these.
All my mail is Gmail. All photos, communications and back up is via my iPhone.
Thus far there is no interruption of daily storage and communication/emails via my iPhone storage and back up.
Do I need to do something or just ignore the notifications.
I have no idea whether the notifications are even from Microsoft.
Suggestions/experience welcome.

It may be a scam, but it doesn't sound like it. If you have a free Microsoft account, go to onedrive.live.com/managestorage, and enter your Microsoft password. It will tell you if your 5GB of free cloud storage is full, and allow you to free up some space, or delete everything. Also, go to your Gmail website, and check to see if your emails are being synced to One Drive. If so, turn it off. You may also be syncing other files to One Drive. Look at the files on One Drive to see if you recognize any of them.
I have Microsoft 365, which costs $69.99 per year. It provides Microsoft Office that can be downloaded to multiple devices and provides 1TB of cloud storage on One Drive. It is actually a good deal, if you need a lot of cloud storage. Another option for cloud storage is to use your Google Drive, which almost everyone has, been many people don't even know they have it. Google gives you 15GB of free storage. Just log into Google and click on My Drive. You can set up your gmail account to sync your emails to the Google Drive instead of One Drive.
