What happens when storage capacity changed manually from Admin portal for SharePoint Site ?

Hi,

I have storage capacity as per below screenshot which I can see from SharePoint Admin portal.

I have changed capacity of one of SharePoint Site to 25 TB as per below screenshot.

 

So I would like to understand what exactly happens when storage limit changed of site and how it impact/makes to overall storage limit of tenant ? Is it blocks the storage for that site from tenant level storage ?

Any guidance would be very helpful to understand this concept.

Thanks.

  • It won't affect the overall storage limit at all - that only ever looks at the current storage actually used.

    The only thing that changes is the site can now store up to 25TB instead of 1TB. It's up to you how you manage this, but it's sometimes a good idea to set it lower than the max 25TB so owners get notified earlier when they are reaching their limit and you can then increase it appropriately.
