Business standard plan -unable to increase onedrive for business storage from 1TB to 5TB

O365 Buddy 71

This issue can be reproduced in any business standard trial tenant

Business standard was one of the qualifying plan for unlimited storage. Now , we cant increase the storage even using powershell command. From admin center we can increase the storage at tenant level but user level even if we switch to org storage it still show as 1024 gb
Even in powershell command run successfully to increase storage but the storage dont increase

I have the same issue. I set maximum storage last year for my tenant to 5TB. I used to work because one on my user could store more that 3TB in his OneDrive.
But it seams that things have changed recently because all user are back to 1TB storage limit again.

I have just bought a OneDrive plan 2 and assigned it to my user with more that 3TB of storage in his OneDrive but nothing changes.

I'm in contact with Microsoft support but they don't answer to me (asking for screenshots, ...etc.) and gives no hand...

Looks like a bug or a change in their policy.

Did you turn off the sub license Ondrive for business plan 1 and then assign the Buisiness plan 2 ?

I have no OneDrive business plan 1 licence, so I assigned the Buisiness plan 2 to my user

You're right we get SPO plan 1 which includes the Onedrive 1 TB storage. One of the client fixed the issue by assign ODB plan 2 it should work

Onedrive for business plan 2 should also work. SPO2 and ODB2 have same cost so do check the missing features . I mean If everything is there is SPO2 why will someone go for ODB Plan 2

Small business plan storage details will be updated soon :
