SharePoint Online - Portal Managed Path Sites

Question

Dear MS Q&A,

Observed the following Sites that appears only visible via PowerShell via Get-PnPTenantSite cmdlet:

https://tenantname.sharepoint.com/portals/Community (Site Template: POINTPUBLISHINGTOPIC#0)
https://tenantname.sharepoint.com/portals/hub (Site Template: POINTPUBLISHINGHUB#0)
https://tenantname.sharepoint.com/portals/personal/firstnamelastname (Site Title: firstname.lastname, Site Template: POINTPUBLISHINGPERSONAL#0)

Seeking any advice or information if above sites are generated by default and what triggers the sites to be provisioned (e.g. especially for those with /portals/personal managed path).

In addition, hoping to confirm if there are any issues with updating their Storage Quota to a lower limit (e.g. 10 GB) as they appear to be provisioned with the max quota of 25 TB by default or if they require a minimum quota size to support its function.

Appreciate any advice or information.

Thank you and appreciate any advice or information.

Hi @Daniel Chee ,
These three site collections you mentioned are generated by default.

1. https://tenantname.sharepoint.com/portals/community
   You might or might not see this site collection in the list. In case you do, this site collection is a dedicated space with the Community features enabled.
2. https://tenantname.sharepoint.com/portals/hub
   The second site collection in the list is /portals/hub. This is a site collection that contains all the videos you would post to the Office 365 Video Portal.

   Note: Microsoft is providing this information as a convenience to you. The sites are not controlled by Microsoft. Microsoft cannot make any representations regarding the quality, safety, or suitability of any software or information found there. Please make sure that you completely understand the risk before retrieving any suggestions from the above link.

In addition, there is no official documentation that says there is a lower limit for Storage Quota. I tried to modify a site collection with Storage Quota of 10 GB without any problems. So no minimum quota size is required to support its functionality.
