SharePoint Online storage?

Customers are frequently asking what kind of storage they get with SharePoint Online and Microsoft constantly improves products and services. According to the latest informations, we have the following model (example on E plans):

 

Each Tenant (SharePoint Online instance) gets 1TB of storage space included. Then each user of the E plans will add 500MB of storage space into the shared pool. This is up from 10GB per tenant and 500MB per user.

  • For example:  A client with 100 users would get 1TB + 50GB (500MB x 100) for the main storage on SharePoint. Each extra GB is 0.20 per month.

The pooled storage is used across all sites on SharePoint Online, Office 365 Groups and Office 365 Videos

    1. Right click on the PowerShell Console icon and chose the option: Run as administrator.
    2. To change the Execution policy open the Microsoft Online Services Module for Windows PowerShell and type the command:
      Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted
    3. For creating the remote connection we will need to use  a set of three PowerShell commands. Each command perform different task and include variable that serve as a “container” for information such as: user credentials, URL etc. Execute the following command: 
      $cred = Get-Credential
      $Session = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri https://ps.outlook.com/powershell/ -Credential $cred -Authentication Basic –AllowRedirection
      Import-PSSession $Session
    4. A pop out windows will appear. Type your credentials by using the UPN (user Principal name) format. User should have global administrator rights in the office 365 environment. To view all the allowed file type, you can use this command:
      (get-OwaMailboxPolicy OwaMailboxPolicy-Default).AllowedFileTypes
    5. To allow a specific file type (such as .xml file), use this command: 
      Set-OwaMailboxPolicy OwaMailboxPolicy-Default -AllowedFileTypes  @{add= '.xml'} Get-OwaMailboxPolicy | Set-OwaMailboxPolicy -BlockedFileTypes @{Remove = ".xml"}
      Get-OwaMailboxPolicy | Set-OwaMailboxPolicy -AllowedFileTypes @{Add = ".xml"}
      Get-OwaMailboxPolicy | Set-OwaMailboxPolicy -BlockedMimeTypes @{Remove = "text/xml", "application/xml”}
      Get-OwaMailboxPolicy | Set-OwaMailboxPolicy –AllowedMimeTypes @{Add = "text/xml", "application/xml”}
    6. Disconnect the remote connection with the following command:
      Remove-PSSession $Session
