Previously, we increased all OneDrive for Business users\u2019 storage allotment to 1 TB. Along with this adjustment, we removed the OneDrive for Business quota management tab from the SharePoint Online admin center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we are introducing a new storage model based on usage, making it easier to manage availability of storage across your SharePoint Online team sites. In addition, we increased the number of site collections limits to parallel and adjust the new usage model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s dive into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-new-usage-model\">The new usage model<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing administrators will notice is they reclaim a lot more SharePoint Online pooled storage. This is because the concept of reserved storage now only applies at the tenant level for SharePoint Online. For example, if you had a site collection\u2019s storage quota set to 100 GB in the old model and were only using 20 GB, it now has a usage limit of 100 GB in the new model, and returns 80 GB back to the tenant storage pool. Site collections (other than OneDrive) no longer tie up blocks of reserved storage. Instead, only the actual storage used counts against total pooled storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"876\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/08\/How-the-new-usage-model-applies-to-team-sites-and-OneDrive-for-Business.png\" alt=\"How the new usage model applies to team sites and OneDrive for Business\" class=\"wp-image-63821\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/08\/How-the-new-usage-model-applies-to-team-sites-and-OneDrive-for-Business.png 876w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/08\/How-the-new-usage-model-applies-to-team-sites-and-OneDrive-for-Business-300x128.png 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/08\/How-the-new-usage-model-applies-to-team-sites-and-OneDrive-for-Business-768x329.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 876px) 100vw, 876px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>How the new usage model applies to team sites and OneDrive for Business.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"auto-versus-manual\">Auto versus Manual<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The second thing admins will notice is the new Site Collection Storage Management toggle switch within the SharePoint Online admin center, under the <em>s<\/em>ettings tab. <strong>Auto<\/strong> enables hassle-free storage management, while <strong>Manual<\/strong> enables the admin to apply storage usage limits per site collection (excluding OneDrive).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1425\" height=\"886\" src=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/08\/Site-Collection-Storage-Management-toggle-switch-to-select-Auto-or-Manual-highlighted.png\" alt=\"Site Collection Storage Management toggle switch to select Auto or Manual highlighted\" class=\"wp-image-64041\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/08\/Site-Collection-Storage-Management-toggle-switch-to-select-Auto-or-Manual-highlighted.png 1425w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/08\/Site-Collection-Storage-Management-toggle-switch-to-select-Auto-or-Manual-highlighted-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/08\/Site-Collection-Storage-Management-toggle-switch-to-select-Auto-or-Manual-highlighted-768x478.png 768w, https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-365\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/08\/Site-Collection-Storage-Management-toggle-switch-to-select-Auto-or-Manual-highlighted-1024x637.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1425px) 100vw, 1425px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>The Site Collection Storage Management toggle switch to select Auto or Manual.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New customers<\/strong> are set to <em>Auto<\/em> by default, with the ability to switch to <em>Manual<\/em> at any time. <em>Auto<\/em> enables you to <em>auto-<\/em>matically pull from your available SharePoint Online pooled storage for any and all of your site collections (more on pooled storage below).

We\u2019re announcing today that individual Office 365 tenants can now have up to <strong>500,000<\/strong> site collections (up from the previous limit of 10,000) and they all draw from the same pool of storage as described above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think I just heard a collective \u201c500k, yay!\u201d We\u2019re excited, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your total available tenant storage, which for every Office 365 business customer starts at 10 GB + 500 MB times the number of users,applies to storage available for your SharePoint Online team sites.

The main caveats are that Office 365 Small Business comes with only one site collection and Office 365 Government plans currently have a 100 GB per site collection storage limit.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. Does this announcement apply to Office<\/strong> <strong>365 dedicated subscribers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. No. The Office 365 dedicated plans will not receive this same update because they are managed in a unique, isolated infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. How and when will these new SharePoint Online admin features roll out worldwide?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A.&nbsp; As with previous SharePoint Online features, these new changes will take a few weeks to completely roll out worldwide. Office 365 tenant admins will receive a message center post as we begin roll out. We are planning to begin roll out within the next two weeks. We, too, will update the <a href=\"http:\/\/office.com\/roadmap\">Office 365 roadmap<\/a> to move this feature from \u201cIn Development\u201d through \u201cRolling Out\u201d during roll out to \u201cLaunched\u201d once all tenants have received the update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. Can I move any of my users\u2019 OneDrive for Business storage into pooled storage for my SharePoint Online environment?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. No. OneDrive for Business storage is separate and cannot be combined for use with team sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q. Do all user types contribute to the overall pooled storage calculation?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A. No. Kiosk and external users do not contribute to the overall tenant storage pool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we are introducing a new storage model based on usage, making it easier to manage availability of storage across your SharePoint Online team sites.
