What Is the Storage Limit for OneDrive for Business, and Can I Increase It?
1 min read
Answer:
- By default, OneDrive for Business provides 1TB of storage per user under most Microsoft 365 plans.
- Organizations with eligible plans (e.g., Enterprise E3, E5) can increase storage to 5TB per user.
- To expand beyond 5TB, admins must submit a storage request via the Microsoft Admin Center. Additional storage (up to 25TB per user) is available for plans with at least five licensed users.
Steps to Check and Increase Storage:
- Log in to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
- Navigate to Settings > OneDrive.
- Review the current storage allocation and submit a request for more if needed.
Tip:
Regularly monitor storage usage via the Usage Reports in the Admin Center to ensure efficient utilization.
