Add Microsoft Dataverse storage capacity

You have options when you're running low on storage capacity. You can free up storage, delete unwanted environments, or buy more storage capacity to be compliant with storage usage requirements. To learn more about storage capacity add-ons, see the Dynamics 365 Licensing Guide or the "Add-ons" section of the Power Apps and Power Automate Licensing Guide. You can work through your organization's standard procurement process to purchase capacity add-ons.

Add storage capacity for your tenant

If your tenant is running low on available storage capacity, you can add storage to your subscription.

Note

The process described in this topic applies to direct purchases using a credit card or invoice.

If you bought your subscription through Volume Licensing or a Cloud Solution Provider (CSP), contact your representative or partner for assistance. Customers with an Enterprise Agreement can make a license reservation.
