- Susan_KelicanCopper ContributorWhat's the deal with the reduced storage limits (2GB) for Front Line workers F3 in OneDrive? Was this announced somewhere? I need to find something in writing from Microsoft to share with leaders and staff. Our users have started getting notifications that they are over or approaching their size limits and are raising the roof about the issue. Is there Are similar storage downgrades planned for E3 users?
- Mark-KashmanGold ContributorYou can find all updated information about each plan here (link starts on Frontline SKUs): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/frontline-plans-and-pricing - to my knowledge, F licenses got increased from 0GB to 2GB a few years ago - and that still applies.

F3 storage allocations are documented here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/frontline-plans-and-pricing. E3 users will have 1TB, as documented here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/business/microsoft-365-business-basic- Susan_KelicanCopper ContributorI'm well aware of the new limits. Trying to find something from Microsoft announcing the decreased storage for existing license holders. I didn't see anything in any of the blogs or a notice in the message center. How was this information shared with existing customers?
- pcheng895Copper ContributorHow does Copilot determine which file is the most recent?
- pcheng895Copper Contributorhat if an older file gets 'updated' (merely opened and closed) by mistake? Will Copilot then consider that file as the latest version?
- Carter_MSFT
Microsoft
No, it needs to be edited. it uses the same logic as the OneDrive recent view, i would encourage you to check that out on OneDrive today.
- Carter_MSFT
Microsoft
Not sure I understand the question, but the same way OneDrive has a Recent files view, Copilot will be able to have that same knowledge of when a file was last edited.
- Please make sure that when you rehearse, your webcam video is NOT covering content parts of the screens. Also, will we be able to get the PPT as before? If yes, where will it be available?

Hey Hermine - so good to see you! The PPT will be published on Thursday after the call, as usual, and it's always available on the Champion Resources page. That page link is not public (so I cannot share it here as this is a public forum), but the link is in the newsletter that we sent last Wednesday. It's the same link as before, as always. - JoshLeporati

Thanks HermineTurner, will make sure we work on this with our production crew for better views! On sharing the PowerPoint, this will be available on the Champion Resource page as it has been in past as well.

Welcome Hal, thanks for being here! Hello from Louisiana! 🙂 - JessieHwang

Hi Hal! Great to see you! - Mark-KashmanGold ContributorHello, Hal. My hometown, 0-18. I grew up near Pima Canyon, slightly North of Oracle.
- Yes. I know right where that is!!!
- Frex68Brass ContributorI can't see the video for this event. We have strict security settings and I was away in August when I know you were all testing this. Is there a way to at least access the recording? Sorry in advance if I have missed instructions on what needs to be enabled :(
- JessieHwang

Hi Michele - thanks for letting us know. We will work on publishing a copy of the recording to our usual Champion Resources page (the link is not public but it's in the newsletter that we send out every month before the call; the last one was sent last Wednesday).- Frex68Brass ContributorShame to not be able to join live. I can probably access from my personal phone as a workaround but much smaller screen.
- VinceBCopper Contributorhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0YtH3DTcGI Try this youtube link
- Frex68Brass ContributorExactly the same issue, but appreciate the suggestion, thank you. Our accessing of the internet is heavily locked down/restricted as we are both healthcare and finance. I wonder if there is a site I can whitelist or something similar.
- Frex68Brass ContributorI see "the video is not available with Restricted Mode enabled". As mentioned we have very strict security my side.
- RossanaSCopper ContributorAm I supposed to list all the issues I'm having with OneDrive in this comments section?
- JessieHwang
Microsoft
If you can, please feel free! Or an overview, if possible. We have folks from the OneDrive team on standby to help answer questions or find other Subject Matter Experts to weigh in.- RossanaSCopper Contributor
I'll try and summarize here, but may need to elaborate:
- Issues with hybrid work+personal desktop app.
- Hard to define main account/owner and how to correct when wrong?
- if you install while having already files in the destination folder, instead of comparing, duplicates files
- Sharing: I'm GlobalAdmin in a small no-profit, I disabled sharing outside the company, but this should be for users only, instead I have the same, despite my rights
- In Android: if set up to cack-up pictures in OneDrive, when you delete pictures from device, they still stay on OD. Result: clutter, double work to clean up and possibly space issues!
- Issues with hybrid work+personal desktop app.

Not all your issues 😁, but I'd be curious if you have any questions about the content we are showing today or if you have any questions that we can help with, please feel free to ask.
- Beth_P1230Iron ContributorWhere will presentation be stored after session? The previous meetings had it uploaded to site but I'm not seeing that now. Also, accessing links in the presentation.
- JessieHwang
Microsoft
Hi Beth - the new platform does not have PowerPoint Live like Teams meetings do, so the links are no longer clickable from the screen, but the presentation will be published to our usual Champion Resources page (link is not public but is in the newsletter that was sent out to all Champions last Wednesday).
- SteveMorley1Brass ContributorJosh Leporati great to meet you in person at TechCon365

Hey SteveMorley1 - ditto, great to see you here - thanks for joining!

mistake
- LAK_BradyIron ContributorIn regard to SharePoint design ideas - what would be the reason a user would not see this option if they have edit access to create pages?
- Mark-KashmanGold ContributorIf someone has the ability to edit a page - in a site as a member or an owner - aka, can author, they would see the new SharePoint design options.

Lori - check with your IT admin to make sure you have the correct permissions. As Mark said, it should be available to you if you are a member/owner.
