increase onedrive storage

Question

dears,

i have m365 basic licenses. one of the users onedrive is full, the 1 tb is already full.
what can i do to increase it? or am i eligible to buy additional storage for onedrive?

thank you

Answer 1

i'm sorry the first point is just eligible for one drive plan 2 and not eligible for any other business subscription.

thank you for your help

Answer 2

The limit for M365 basic plans is 1TB, you cannot increase it further. If you need more storage, assign a "premium" license to the user, anything that contains "Plan 2" will do: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/onedrive/compare-onedrive-plans?rtc=1&activetab=tab:primaryr2

Please refer to michev 's reply.

For most subscription plans, the default storage space for each user's OneDrive is 1 TB. To increase this storage up to 5 TB, it depends on your plan and the number of licensed users.

Here are 2 articles, you may also have a look.

Dears,

the below also is mentionned:
"Microsoft will initially provide 1 TB/user of OneDrive for Business storage, which admins can increase to 5 TB/user."

what do they mean by that?
and this too: *Unlimited individual cloud storage for qualifying plans for subscriptions of five or more users, otherwise 1 TB/user

from what i can understand is that unlimited storage is for qualifying plans but 5tb is eligible for all.

anyone can clear the matter?

thanks
Elio
