Everything about O365 Storage
- 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
- On an E3 or E5 license the Exchange storage includes 100Gb of mailbox and an infinite amount of archive per user. I don't think archive growth is automatic just yet (roadmap) but support will increase it as long as you fit within fair-use.
OneDrive on all plans is officially unlimited, through support requests you can get it increased beyond 5Gb, as long as you fit within fair-use.
For your shared files the base calculation is correct, but you can buy additional storage as you require at a price per Gb per month.
