The SharePoint Storage report provides an overview of your tenant's storage usage. It also offers suggestions for storage optimization and future proofing your organization's file growth capacity.
Use the SharePoint Storage report to quickly answer three admin questions:
- How much SharePoint storage is used, available, and allocated?
- How fast is storage growing over time?
- What actions should you take now to delay or plan additional storage purchase?
Note
This report is available to non-Education tenants. Education tenants should refer to their pooled storage report. For more information about viewing the pooled storage report, see Pooled storage management.
