SharePoint Online Storage Improvements in OWL

​The following new features are now available in SharePoint Online as part of the OWL Service:

  • A 1TB site collection limit for OneDrive for Business and team sites
  • Infinite tenant storage scale

 

1TB site collection limit increase for OneDrive for Business and team sites

 

A 1 TB will let you create large team document centers that teams can use without needing to introduce multiple websites and unneeded complexities.  All SharePoint Online site collections can now have up to 1TB of storage allocation. You simply assign the desired amount to the selected site collection in the SharePoint Online admin console.

 

OneDrive for Business provides a default 25GB/user storage allocation. Your can now allocate more storage, up to 1TB, to users in the following increments: 50GB, 100GB, 250GB, 500GB, and 1024GB.

 

Infinite tenant storage scale

 

OWL and SharePoint Online have architected the storage to enable infinite storage scale for current storage needs and unlimited future needs.

Here is the default storage allocation for an OWL tenant:

  • 25GB of OneDrive for Business storage per user
  • 50GB of email storage per user
  • 5GB for each site mailbox you create
  • 10GB + 500MB  times the number of users

 

If you need more storage than the default allocation, you can now purchase unlimited additional storage right from the SharePoint Online admin center at a cost per gigabyte (GB) per month.

 

If you are looking to move a portion of your storage from an on-prem environment to OWL, please contact H Tech Solutions for a free consultation.
