SharePoint Online Storage Limits?
That's the limit(25TB) you can have stored in an individual group/site. Your total allocation still is sum of all the SharePoint online storage, which includes group storage. So in this case you would have to buy at a minimum .45 TB storage to fit the space requirement, but realistically you would need to add in addition your currently used storage + growth room.
Edit: I was using your previous storage example, didn't see the 10 license part. So you would need to buy .9 TB to cover the 2TB space requirement, but would want to buy in addition to that, whatever you currently usage is plus the growth potential :P
Great, thanks for the answers.
I have a follow up question: The OneDrive for Business storage that my users get with E3 licenses does not contribute to the SharePoint Online storage limits, right?
Hi Adam
Yes you are right. One Drive for Business storage is separate from SharePoint storage. You get 1TB of storage for One Drive that can be increased to 5TB per user.
Refer the below article for further details:

OneDrive for Business Plans don't add to your Sharepoint Storage, but Sharepoint Online Plans do, they add 10GB per license, and they cost the same and have the same effect when assigning to users.
As for the https://betterlicenses.com/blog/sharepoint-online-storage-quota-problem-fixing-it the main source of used space are Team Sites, what we recomend doing is creating a File Storage user with a Sharepoint Online Plan 2 and movinghttps://betterlicenses.com/blog/move-teams-files-to-onedrive-and-show-them-under-the-team.
Hi Rnishat0786 ,
Supplementary question regarding storage space in a Sharepoint team site:
How much space is available in an organisation's Sharepoint team site? Note, I'm *not* referring to my user's individual OneDrive allocations.
I don't want my users to store company data in their own OneDrive allocations, it should all be in the shared area. I've had conflicting advice as to how much storage is available in the shared team site.
cheers

- It follows the same max 25 TB per site collection scheme! But basically it depends on how many licenses you pay for! ( 1 TB and 10gb per user )

Awesome! Thanks! You folks are amazing.
I have got a similar example when trying to calculate the total online storage limit for a client.
(1000 x E3) + ( 500 x E1)
So is the max allowed storage for SharePoint Online: 1500 x 1.01 TB ????? . Note addtional P1 or P2 plans purchased only the defaults per each enterprise license.
Whereas, OFDB woud be and addtional: 1500 x 1TB . This can be increased to 1500 x 5 TB as we have > 4 licensed users. Note, this didn't work in a dev tenant when I tried this earler.
Does this sound reasonable ?
