Hi Peggy Zumhofe,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum!

Have a good day and I hope you're doing well!

Before we proceed, have you had a chance to check the suggestions provided by the AI assistant? Did you find them helpful at all? 

Regarding your request, here are the detailed steps to address the storage issue: 

1. If you suspect that you should have more storage than what is currently showing in the Microsoft 365 admin center, Microsoft 365 admins can run a diagnostic tool. This tool identifies potential issues affecting your SharePoint tenant storage quota and clarifies how the quota is allocated: Run the diagnostic tool here 

2. If your SharePoint storage quota is indeed exceeded, you can purchase the "Office 365 Extra File Storage" add-on. Please follow the detailed instructions below to complete the purchase: Buy the Office 365 Extra File Storage add-on 

3. Once you have purchased the add-on, you may need to assign that space. You can refer to this guide to increase or decrease the extra storage space for your subscriptions: Increase or decrease your extra file storage 
4. If you do not see the "Office 365 Extra File Storage" option in the list of available add-ons, it likely means your current plan is not eligible to buy it. Please check the eligibility of your plan here: Is my plan eligible for Office 365 Extra File Storage?

Please note that these steps require administrative permissions. If you are an end-user, you will need to contact your company's IT Administrator or Global Admin to check these settings and perform the purchase for you. 

I hope this information gives you some useful insights. If you have any concerns or questions, or if I misunderstood anything, please feel free to reach out anytime. 

Best regards.
