OneDrive for Business plan 2 "unlimited personal storage"

Question

Hello All,

I'm doing some work for a small business, they are looking to move about 27TB of on-prem share drive data to OneDrive (cloud version). If my understanding is correct, they should be able to purchase 2-3 of ‘OneDrive for business plan 2’s upload the data and use the accounts effectively as cloud ‘share drives’ then use Intune to map the ‘Drives’ (sharepoint sites) to users laptops.

The questionable area is the fine print. Plan 2 says:

*Unlimited individual cloud storage for qualifying plans for subscriptions of five or more users, otherwise 1 TB/user. Microsoft will initially provide 1 TB/user of OneDrive for Business storage, which admins can increase to 5 TB/user. Request additional storage by contacting Microsoft support. Storage up to 25 TB/user is provisioned in OneDrive for Business. Beyond 25 TB, storage is provisioned as 25 TB SharePoint team sites to individual users.

This business has about 50 x 365 Business basic licenses but I’m moving them to all be Bus' premium’s for Intune, would that be considered a ‘qualifying plans for subscriptions’????

cheers,
Scott

Answer 1

Business Premium does include Sharepoint Plan1 - that means 1 TB per user for Onedrive.

Plan2 is icluded with E3.

And anyway, shared data belongs to Sharepoint, not to user Onedrive...
