What is the StorageQuotaAllocated means in SPO
I have a little confusion about this Storage Quota Allocated property.
If i ran Get-SPOTenant, I get the StorageQuota : 1304576 & StorageQuotaAllocated : 104962048.
StorageQuota property make sense as it is my total storage of the Tenant which is 1.24TB But what is this StorageQuotaAllocated(100TB) numbers are ?
Note: I check the Quota Allocated to all my Sites in the Tenant which 325TB (13 sites each with 25tb limit).
If i run the Get-SPOGeoStorageQuota then the results are same which are on our Tenant Admin page.
GeoLocation : NAM
GeoUsedStorageMB : 99
GeoAvailableStorageMB : 1304477
GeoAllocatedStorageMB : 0
TenantStorageMB : 1304576
QuotaType : Allocated
What is the StorageQuotaAllocated means? from where these numbers are coming?
That's only relevant when you want to manually manage the quota for sites. Thus you "allocate" a portion of the tenant-wide quota. Read here for the details: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/manage-site-collection-storage-limits
That's true and we want to manage the the quota of site collections ( Manual settings is enabled). But the value of that property is not align with our tenant, So question is still remains, who it is calculate it? is it only considering the classic sites or Modern teams site or Communication site or Mysite or Teams?
As i mentioned, I have 13 sites collection each with 25tb so it should shows as 325TB but it is showing only 100TB.
