Tenant Storage?

When looking at the SharePoint Admin center (on Office 365)  there is a tentat storage limit of 1.7 TB. Is this the limit for all Office 365 features? (Groups, One Drive for Business, Video). There is so much talk about a TB per user on One Drive and per site collection limits I was surprised to see such a low number.

  • I know that number includes SharePoint and O365 Video (and I am pretty sure also O365 Groups)

     

    OneDrive for Business is NOT included in that number.

    Tenant storage:1 TB + .5 GB per subscribed user + additional storage purchased.

    It states for groups: Group files storage has the same storage and upload limits as a site collection storage limit above. (1TB)

      Great, thank you.

       

      Seems a bit odd that the entire tenat is limited to 1 TB + the per user .5 GB while One Drive gives you 1 TB per user. I guess the message is store it on One Drive! :)

        Definitely not that.  Lots of resources out there on this, but OneDrive is not a good location for team/project/initiative based document storage.
