Private Channels

Question

Good Afternoon, 

Question: I have a main teams site with a SharePoint site. My storage for this site is 10MB (example). I then make 5 private channels and I understand the private channels all come with their own SharePoint sites. My question is - do the private channels still take space away from the 10MB of the main or "parent" site? Hopefully this makes sense. Thank you! (P.S. I'm using a GCC account)

Dear Amanda,

As an Independent Advisor and community user, I'll help you with your question.

Each private channel it will create a new SharePoint site, for private channels you have to manage their storage with the SharePoint management shell, you can see all private sites just through PowerShell, so open Powershell as admin (should be better on windows 10), then run followings commands:

Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.Sharepoint.Powershell

Connect-SPOService -Url https://tenantName-admin.sharepoint.com #you should change tenantName with your own tenant name.

with below command you will see all site in your tenant:

Get-SPOSite

So, for those private sites, the site name should be "TeamName+ChannelName"

Then to manage storage in those private sites you can use following command:

Set-SPOSite -Identity https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/teamName-c... -StorageQuota 1500 -StorageQuotaWarningLevel 1400
