Advice for configuring Microsoft 365 Business for a single user
Initially, MS 365 Biz gave me an administrative account with an @.onmicrosoft.com address. I added a single user for myself and associated my custom domain for my users. This gives me a user account that receives email on Paul@ (me). Was this the right thing to do?
How about OneDrive? Does my MS 365 Biz account give me separate OneDrive storage spaces for its administrator and my one user account? Or is there just one for the whole MS 365 Biz account?
Any tips on this kind of setup? Thanks in advance.

Hello! I’m glad to help you with your Microsoft 365 Business setup. Based on your description, it seems like you have already created a user account for yourself and associated your custom domain with it. This is the right thing to do.
Regarding OneDrive, Microsoft 365 Business provides separate OneDrive storage spaces for each user account, including the administrator account. Therefore, you will have a separate OneDrive storage space for your user account and another one for the administrator account. Adding a single user for yourself and associating your custom domain for your users is a common practice.
Setting up Microsoft 365 Business for a single user involves several steps. Here are some tips based on your questions:
1.Microsoft 365 Business Account Setup:
Your initial setup seems correct. Microsoft 365 Business provides you with an administrative account with an @.onmicrosoft.com address
2.OneDrive Storage:Microsoft 365 Business Standard provides 1 TB of OneDrive cloud storage per user.
As a global or SharePoint admin in Microsoft 365, you can set the OneDrive storage space for a specific user.
If a user has filled their 5 TB of OneDrive storage to at least 90% capacity, Microsoft will increase your default storage space in OneDrive to up to 25 TB per user.
You can manage your OneDrive for work or school to see how much space you’re using and free up space if you’re getting close to your storage limit.
Remember, it’s always a good idea to regularly review and manage your storage to ensure you’re not nearing your limit.If I have answered your question, please mark your post as Solved

Did you back up your data on the personal account before switching to the business account?
