Hey Gina Hawkins 

 

You are right the official documentation regarding private channels is not that detailed. Ref: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/private-channels#:~:text=A%20private%20channel%20site%20collection,the%20private%20channel%20within%20Teams.

 

To view the site storage via GUI, please follow what Adnan_Amin already recommended. For any administration related to private channel site collections you will have to use powershell for now:

Sharepoint Online Powershell 

Use the following command to list all the site collections in the environment:

 

Get-SPOSite | select url,template,storagequota,storageusagecurrent

Storage usage current shows the storage consumed (In MB), and storage quota shows the quota assigned. The default storage quota for private channel should be : 1048576 MB.

The site collections with template "TEAMCHANNEL#0" are private teams channel site collections.

 

To change the storage quota use the following command:

Set-SPOSite -Identity sitecollectionURL -StorageQuota 1000000 -StorageQuotaWarningLevel 900000

The input is in MBs.

 

Thanks
