Are OneDrive files included in SharePoint Online storage limit?
- No.

- Why can't you buy additional space for SharePoint Online? It's available in the marketplace (some organizations are ineligible to purchase there): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/commerce/add-storage-space?view=o365-worldwide
