SharePoint system sizing
Omni_Knight You are mistaken. The 25TB limit is per site collection.

So, if you were to go with F1 or F3 based on that table. The limit is 50 exabytes (25 TB x 2,000,000 site collections). With the number of users that you have, you would get 14 TB OOTB and then you can choose to purchase additional storage if you need to - Add more SharePoint storage to your subscription | Microsoft Learn.
Just make sure you have all your requirements ahead of time and know the features that come with each M365 plan such as security, compliance, etc.,
Consider hiring a consultant to implement best practices (implement a proper information architecture, security, governance, adoption, training, etc.,). Being able to store information online is one story, maintaining and keeping the environment secured is another.
Let me know 🙂 I know a few people in the industry.
Omni_Knight if you literally only need SharePoint Online, Lists and OneDrive then the SharePoint Plan 1 at $5/user/month is a good starting point. But if that is too limiting then the Microsoft 365 Business Standard has more apps and is $12.50/user/month. You can try that one free for a month. There are then other business and enterprise plans which go up in cost but have more storage (e.g. E3 has 1Tb), features and many more apps. My company of 80,000+ is on E5 but it gives everything we need with the exception of any premium connectors for Power Automate and Power Apps which are always an add-on cost.

- By your point I assume that with the size of 1300 users, Do I will have 14TB of storage each Site Collection and I can create like 2 million Site Collections and no other cost charged?
- You let it scale automatically and you don't usually change that.
But to note, you DON'T want all your files in one site collections. You gonna need mulitple one and one for each context, So go through it all and create sites accordingly.
So for Example you create a site collection for IT Department and place all the documents there.
