SharePoint Site Storage Limits
- May 12, 2025
Hi I_NuB,I completely understand your question. While SharePoint defaults to assigning 25TB to each new site created with a Microsoft 365 Group or Teams, it is possible to set a custom storage limit (for example, 1TB or even 3GB) for each new site by modifying the settings in the SharePoint Admin Center.
You just need to go to:
SharePoint Admin Center → Settings → Site Creation → Set storage limits manually
There, you can define a default storage value (e.g., 1TB) so that new sites don't automatically get the full 25TB available.
I've attached a screenshot for reference.
Hope this helps, and feel free to ask if you need anything else!Thanks!

Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. I didn't realize this setting is only made available after setting the "Site Storage Limits" to manual.
