Set the default storage space up to 5 TB for OneDrive users

For most subscription plans, the default storage space for each user’s OneDrive is 1 TB. Depending on your plan and the number of licensed users, you can increase this storage up to 5 TB. For info, see the OneDrive service description. If you change a user’s license, the available storage space is updated automatically within 24 hours after they access OneDrive.

If your organization has a qualifying Microsoft 365 subscription and five (5) or more users, you can change the storage space to more than 5 TB. To discuss your needs, contact Microsoft support. You must assign at least one license to a user before you can increase the default OneDrive storage space. The new storage limit is applied the next time a user accesses OneDrive.

Set the default OneDrive storage space in the SharePoint admin center

This storage space setting applies to all new and existing users who are licensed for a qualifying plan and for whom you haven’t set specific storage limits. (To check if a user has a specific storage limit, see the next section.) To change the storage space for specific users, see Change a specific user’s OneDrive storage space.

1. Go to Settings in the new SharePoint admin center, and sign in with an account that has admin permissions for your organization.
2. Select the OneDrive Storage limit setting

3. In the Default storage limit box, enter the default storage amount (in GB), and then select Save.
