Adding OneDrive Plan 1 or 2 to a Microsoft F3

Can a OneDrive Plan 1 or 2 be added to a MS F3 license?  I cannot find anything that says it can or cannot be done.  Can someone share some documentation on this?

 

Thank you!

    I do know there is a One Drive Plan 1, but I'm not aware of a Plan 2 - Cloud Storage Pricing and Plans (microsoft.com)

     

     

    Nonetheless, you can find the full comparison found on the following webpage - Microsoft 365 F3 for Frontline Workers::smile:

      I have looked at the charts you have included in your response, but don't believe it is answering the question if you can increase the storage of OneDrive when using a frontline sku. I know it comes with the 2GB, but I don't believe you can increase it due to it being a frontline sku, but I can't find any definitive documentation on this. If I am missing it, please let me know.

      Thank you

        Since your original post did not ask about increasing storage, I had no way of knowing that is what you're asking about.

         

        In order to avoid delays and miscommunication, it's best to state your specific question when posting to the partner community's. This way, you are more likely to receive an accurate answer on the first reply. :smile:

         

         

        I've provided you with (2) links along w/ screenshots.  The screenshots are not meant to provide all info/details on the subject matter, which is why I provide the link/source.  Unless otherwise noted, the source documentation is found in Partner Center (login required).  Therefore, before replying, please review all of the documentation on the links provided. 

         

         

         

         

        The information on the link to the Incentive Guide does indicate which license allows you to purchase additional storage. The print is very small on the screenshot, which is why I provided you with the link to the full comparison document. Please carefully review.

      I had already read all the documentation you had sent me before asking the question in this forum. The answer is not included as part of the documentation. If you are seeing it, please let me know. The very specific question is, Can you add a OneDrive Plan 1 to a Microsoft F3 license in order to increase OneDrive storage beyond the 2GB the MS F3 comes with.

    Jennie_Maier What's the use case? F3 already has SharePoint via Teams and Groups for organisational storage. Why would frontline workers require additional personal storage?

      The MS F3 only comes with the kiosk version of Sharepoint and OneDrive, and the end user may have more than 2GB of data.

    Jennie_Maier Just wondering if you got an answer on this? If not, I have just finished negotiating our renewal and we are moving from E1 to F3. For OneDrive space we opted for the additional sku of SharePoint Plan 1 (we are only adding this to user who need it) and as F3 are not entitled to use Outlook so we have added Exchange Plan 1.  This configuration is still far cheaper than E1 as it also covers Windows 10/11 Shared device and MFA and Intune plan 1 which the E1 didn't for us.
