Everything about O365 Storage
Q: What are the limitations of the solution (number of users, networks, documents, storage, access, and so on)?
A: Yammer is designed as a SaaS, multitenant environment with scale in mind. The only limit is that of file size. An individual file cannot be larger than 5 GB in Yammer Enterprise (100 MB Yammer Free.) Yammer supports unlimited users, unlimited files, unlimited external networks, and unlimited document types.
Where is data stored in Sway?
Sway data is stored in Azure within United States data centers and is working to support data centers worldwide. Sways do not count against your OneDrive for Business storage quota.
Dynamics depends on the subscription: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj191611.aspx
SfBO doesnt have any specifc storage, ExO mailboxes are used instead. Peer-to-peer file transfers are not covered.
Not sure if you can even store document in Flow? Some of the SharePoint folks might be able to answer that :)
- Teams ---> Yes, it counts (via O365 Group Team Site) but what about Chat messages ??? -> Chat messages are persisted in the Microsoft Teams Storage and AFAIK, there is not a limit defined in regards of the number of messages to be stored.
- Yammer ??? -> Already answered by Vasil
- Sway ??? -> Sway space does not count against tenant storage. Sway data is stored in Azure (https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Frequently-asked-questions-about-Sway-%25E2%2580%2593-Admin-Help-446380fa-25bf-47b2-996c-e12cb2f9d075?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US)
Flow ??? -> Pretty sure Flow storage does not count against tenant storage. Storage required (for Flow Settings mainly) is provided by Azure
Skype ??? (Attachments uploaded?) -> Already answered by Vasil
Dynamics ??? -> By default you have 5 GB of storage for Dynamics 365 (CRM) and I believe Microsoft is increasing this 5 GB to 10 GB.
thanks a lot for both answers!
one question to your answer
Pretty sure Flow storage does not count against tenant storage. Storage required (for Flow Settings mainly) is provided by Azure
I'm not an Azure expert, but where do i see what amount of storage space O365 stuff (e.g. flow) currently occupies within Azure?.
And what amout of azure storage do i get with an E3/E5 subscription ?
thanks
None, that's a storage used by some applications, and you dont really have access to it. In the case of Flow, I believe it's only metadata that's stored there, so that will be few KB at best I guess.
thank you for all your feedback!
Please correct me if i'm wrong, but this is my final list showing which application uses which typ of storage AND if it is counted against the tenant storage space.
Application Destination Storage Size counts to Tenant Storage ? Exchange Exchange 50GB / user (or 100GB ) No OneDrive to OfB 1 TB (or 5 TB) per user No Sharepoint to SPO Sites 1 TB + 0,5GB / user YES Planner via O365Groups (to SPO Teamsite) 1 TB + 0,5GB / user YES Tasks via O365Groups (to SPO Teamsite) 1 TB + 0,5GB / user YES Power BI via O365Groups (to SPO Teamsite) 1 TB + 0,5GB / user YES Video via O365Groups (to SPO Teamsite) + Video Portal 1 TB + 0,5GB / user YES OneNote via O365Groups (to SPO Teamsite) 1 TB + 0,5GB / user YES Teams via O365Groups (to SPO Teamsite) + Chat stored in MS Teams Storage (free) 1 TB + 0,5GB / user YES Yammer to Yammer free No Sway Azure Storage free No Flow Azure Storage free No Skype Peer-to-Peer free No Dynamics to Dynamics 5GB for free for every 20users No Would be great to get your feedback on this.
thank you for your help
