Onedrive in E3 vs M365 Apps for Enterprise

Hi,

Until today we used M365 apps for Enterprise and were able to breakdown the packages within it for group based licensing, we switched to Office 365 E3 and now i don't see the option to assign OneDrive via group based licensing as a standalone like we had in Apps for Enterprise.

Any idea how to do that?

We assign OneDrive only to specific users.

Thank you in advance

    Technically, you don't need a license to use OneDrive for Business, it's "included" in the SharePoint Online license. As for restricting who gets access, you have few methods.

    The newest one (and what Microsoft wants you to use) is by group membership, but it's behind a paywall: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/limit-access

    Some older methods should still work, without any additional costs, such as: https://practical365.com/restrict-creation-of-onedrive-for-business-accounts-for-users/

    The relevant setting is now located under More features > User profiles in the new SPO admin center.
