Hi Juan,

Hope you are well. As per article you set the default OneDrive for Business Limit

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/set-default-storage-space

As article states, this storage space setting applies to all new and existing users for whom you haven't set specific storage limits. To change the storage space for specific users, you need to use Microsoft PowerShell, that article is here

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/change-user-storage

Hope that helps and that I have answered your question. If I have, please like the post and set it as the solution. If not, please let me know what more you need.

Best, Chris

Thank you Christopher!

So from what I see on the first link it looks we may need then to run a PowerShell operation for OneDrives not covered by the default quota (increased individually) when a larger new default quota is defined at the tenant level. I was trying to understand if new larger default quotas will cover automatically those OneDrives that are not use the current default quota.

  Hi Juan,
  
  You are correct - powershell the Onedrive users not using the default quota. Changing the default does not change these users automatically!
  
  Hope it goes well and glad it helped to clarify.
