SharePoint Online Storage Limits?

Greetings all. Rather than resurrect this old thread, I though I'd start a new one asking if the solution there still holds true. According to https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt842345...

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

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.
