Use the EAC to set storage quotas for a mailbox
This article below clearly shows it can be done via EAC - but the More Options don't appear under Mailbox Usage - it just shows current usage.
So how other than powershell can it be set, and why can it not be set via EAC???

That article is for Exchange server on-premises, while in general that version is very close to the one used in Exchange Online, there are some differences. Being able to change quotas from the EAC is one of those. Use PowerShell instead.
Okay thanks
It does seem odd to me though that you can't do it from the Exchange Admin Center (EAC) or the Office 365 Admin Portal
I don't mind using powershell, but since everything else can be configured via the nice web interfaces it just seems odd you can also set quotas - especially as you can go in and see current sizes etc
I believe the general idea of the folks working on Exchange Online was "give them huge quotas and let them forget about this" :)
