Office365 groups - Site limit? Site Collection Storage Management set to Automatic?
Hi all, Does anyone know, if I set the Site Collection Storage Management to Automatic, does this apply to O365 groups? And also, is the 25tb, collectively across all applications within the ...
Ok, it finally kicked in and now all my group sites are now showing 25TB quota. But as Juan said, it's not using that space, it's just allowing group members to store up to that much space, so technically a few groups can get out of hand and eat a good chunk of your storage if you don't keep an eye on it. If you don't want this you can settle for turning the automatic off and getting 1TB per group site instead.
No, the automatic management is for all the sites in SPO including Groups sites or Teams sites. Also when you create a Group with the automatic setting, the default size is 25 TB and not 1 TB...you can check this with PowerShell
I read that existing sites get changed to 1TB after the option is enabled. But what I meant was I changed it and created a new site which was still 1TB. So it must take awhile to take hold.
- Hi Christopher, thanks for the information, I would love to hear whether your newly created groups are at 25tb.
What would be ideal, is the groups are created at 1tb and then expand automatically as needed.
I assume this is what the SP sites do, so why not groups, I wonder?
If they are at 25tb by default then we are going to have 25X less total amount of groups on our tenant, which is a concern!- If you have the automatic management quota enabled, the quota for the groups sites you create is 25 TB...and the same applies to any other SPO site you create. 25 TB by default does not meant that every site has "allocated" this storage so the assumption that you are going to hve 25x less total amount of groups is not correct
