1
00:00:02,690 --> 00:00:05,315
Let's start by learning how to manage

2
00:00:05,315 --> 00:00:08,890
storage in SharePoint Online. The storage

3
00:00:08,890 --> 00:00:12,190
every organization has in their tenant for

4
00:00:12,190 --> 00:00:14,579
SharePoint Online really depends on the

5
00:00:14,579 --> 00:00:17,246
number of licensed users inside that

6
00:00:17,246 --> 00:00:21,690
tenant. The formula today is 1 TB base for

7
00:00:21,690 --> 00:00:25,801
every tenant plus 10 GB for each user that

8
00:00:25,801 --> 00:00:29,236
is licensed. So if we take an example, a

9
00:00:29,236 --> 00:00:32,690
company with 500 users, you would have 1

10
00:00:32,690 --> 00:00:36,976
TB plus 500 times 10 GB, which would give

11
00:00:36,976 --> 00:00:40,940
you roughly 6 TB of SharePoint Online

12
00:00:40,940 --> 00:00:43,940
storage. You will often see the storage in

13
00:00:43,940 --> 00:00:46,490
SharePoint Online documents referred to as

14
00:00:46,490 --> 00:00:50,090
pooled storage, so it just refers to all

15
00:00:50,090 --> 00:00:53,290
of the total storage for all of your

16
00:00:53,290 --> 00:00:56,690
users. To manage the storage, you can

17
00:00:56,690 --> 00:01:00,690
either put it in Automatic or Manual mode,

18
00:01:00,690 --> 00:01:03,690
where Automatic you basically allow each

19
00:01:03,690 --> 00:01:06,357
site collection to take the storage it

20
00:01:06,357 --> 00:01:08,790
needs, and with Manual, you can set a

21
00:01:08,790 --> 00:01:11,357
limit per site. In order to do that

22
00:01:11,357 --> 00:01:14,357
change, you can go to the admin center, in

23
00:01:14,357 --> 00:01:17,690
Settings, and then Site storage limits,

24
00:01:17,690 --> 00:01:19,872
and then you can set it really between

25
00:01:19,872 --> 00:01:22,290
Automatic and Manual. Those are the only

26
00:01:22,290 --> 00:01:25,690
options that you have in there. If you set

27
00:01:25,690 --> 00:01:29,357
it to Manual, a new option will appear in

28
00:01:29,357 --> 00:01:32,290
the admin center in the site management

29
00:01:32,290 --> 00:01:34,404
page where you can change the storage

30
00:01:34,404 --> 00:01:37,690
limit for that specific site, and you can

31
00:01:37,690 --> 00:01:40,357
also choose to email site owners when a

32
00:01:40,357 --> 00:01:42,690
certain percentage of the storage is used.

33
00:01:42,690 --> 00:01:46,690
You can also modify the site storage limit

34
00:01:46,690 --> 00:01:50,357
with PowerShell by using the Set-SPOSite

35
00:01:50,357 --> 00:01:53,290
PowerShell cmdlet and then using the

36
00:01:53,290 --> 00:01:55,690
StorageQuota and StorageQuotaWarningLevel

37
00:01:55,690 --> 00:01:59,190
parameters. The numbers provided are in

38
00:01:59,190 --> 00:02:08,000
megabytes, so I'm currently setting the maximum to 50 GB and the warning at 48 GB.
