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

Understanding SharePoint Online Storage
Understanding SharePoint Online storage used to be easy. Then applications like Loop arrived. Other influences like retention and archive can affect storage too. It’s a complicated situation before you throw OneDrive for Business into the mix and consider that Microsoft has removed unlimited OneDrive storage while an increasing number of apps store files in OneDrive. It’s a complicated situation.
