Are OneDrive files included in SharePoint Online storage limit?

Are OneDrive files included in SharePoint Online storage limit?
- No.
Do files in OneDrive for Business count toward the tenant's total Sharepoint Online storage limit?
- No.
Does that mean that the total storage available in OneDrive for Business for all of the tenant's users is less than 2 TB despite the theoretical 1 TB limit per user?
- No. You have to look 1DRV and SPO as two separated services with different limitations that are not combined.https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/sharepoint-online-service-description/sharepoint-online-limits

orchee thank you for beautiful clear answer laying out how crazy this situation is. Someone at Microsoft forgot to bring their brain to work one day, and made this set of conflicting storage limits, and nobody has dared fix the problem ever since...

You're welcome?
I will grant you it is easy to misunderstand the limits, but there is no conflict. ODfB is completely separate from SharePoint Online regarding limits/quota. SPO storage is shared and calculated based on # of licenses, while ODfB is a per user limit and not shared with anything else (SPO or other ODfB users). It used to be "unlimited" but now I believe is 25TB(?) max.
orchee Perfect. Thank you!
