Overview: in the rare circumstance that a user needs more than 1 TB of storage on their business OneDrive it is possible (last verified Jan-2020) to upgrade to 5 TB. These are the steps required:
Your will need:
- Admin credentials for the tenant
- The user's OneDrive URL (Looks like this: https://microsoft-my.sharepoint.com/personal/user1_contoso_com)
- SharePoint Online Management Shell [SPOMS] (Download here: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=255251)
You can check if you already have SPOMS by running this command:Get-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell -ListAvailable | Select Name,VersionGeneric
Step 1: Launch SharePoint Online Management Shell
Step 2: Type in each line of code, substituting the relevant admin, tenant and user details: [press enter after each line]
$adminUPN="[email protected]"Visual Basic
$userUPN="[email protected]"Visual Basic
$tenantSubDomain="tenant-name"Visual Basic
$OneDriveURL = "https://$tenantSubDomain-my.sharepoint.com/personal/" + $($userUPN -replace "[@\.]", "_")Visual Basic
$adminCredential = Get-Credential -UserName $adminUPN -Message "Type the password."Visual Basic
Connect-SPOService -Url https://$tenantSubDomain-admin.sharepoint.com -Credential $adminCredentialVisual Basic
At this point you should be connected and ready to query the user's existing quota:
Get-SPOSite -Identity $OneDriveURLVisual Basic
You can set the new quota up to a maximum of 5242880 MB (1024 * 1024 * 5 = 5242880 MB or 5 TB)
Set-SPOSite -Identity $OneDriveURL -StorageQuota 5242880Visual Basic
(Now re-enter the Get-SPOSite command to verify that the new quota has been applied)
That's it! If you need more than 5 TB for a user, feel free to contact us and we'll happily help ;-)
