Office 365 Group Storage Allocation
What is the storage allocation for an O365 Group?
I am aware that SharePoint grant a 1T resources per site collection (E3 licencing), but I am usure if Groups share the same Site Collection (http://tenant/teams/..) or each Group is it's own Site collection?
Also, could anyone point me to Powershell script resources to find out total size accros site collection vs usage?
- Just to be clear, Group files can hold up to 1 TB of data but it counts against your SPO tenant storage...

indeed and it's documented here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/SharePoint-Online-software-boundaries-and-limits-8F34FF47-B749-408B-ABC0-B605E1F6D498?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
Office 365 Groups file storage
Group files storage has the same storage and upload limits as a site collection storage limit above.

In the Admin Center under Reports > SharePoint Usage there is a Groups filter that shows storage, number of files, view/edits. If you didn't want to use PowerShell.

Julien Gares, As mentioned by Deleted is correct. You can find the script to get the group usage quota from below link

each group has its own site collection holding 1 tb of data if i am correct.

I know that with SharePoint Office 365 the architecture allows for 1 TB / site collection. However with an E3 license you have a storage limit for the tenant that, in my case, appears to be 1.7 TB.
When creating site collections I take set this mannually to allocate that storage to divide it up across the site collections.
How does one manage this for Office 365 groups? Any best practices out there. I would assume there is similar practice for One Drive for Business?
