How could Exchange Online increase mboxes by 50GB but Dynamics CRM still charges $9.99 per 1GB?!

This is outrageous.

Because it was advantageous on both a marketing and commerical front?

    Totally agree...the cost of Dynamics storage does not make any sense compared to the cost of extra storage in SPO ( 20 cents of euro pero additional GB) or the storage we have for free in EXO

      But seriously, it all comes down to commerical need and marketing. Dynamics competes against Salesforce. How much do they charge to hold data? Exchange Online competes against Gmail/G Suite, so the mailboxes have to be larger. Exchange Online also needs large mailboxes to convince customers to move all the data they have in PSTs into a place where that data is discoverable and compliant... and so on...  This is an apples to oranges comparison.

        Agree, but I still think the extra storage cost for Dynamics CRM is too expensive and it's quite easy to reach the default storage that I believe is 5 GB only....
