Changes to storage offerings across Microsoft 365 Education
Access the set of new tools to help you visualize and manage your school's storage, available in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center now.
Beginning at a school’s next contract renewal, but no sooner than August 1, 2024, all school tenants will receive 100TB of free pooled storage across OneDrive, SharePoint, and Exchange, with additional pooled storage per paid user, depending on your subscription *(see the FAQ for details). Today, most schools (99.96%) are well below their storage allotment. With new tools, all schools can better manage their information and set thoughtful policies for data governance. Some of the benefits we expect to see include helping schools reduce some of the security risks associated with legacy storage and data sprawl, a top concern for most chief risk officers, while also benefiting our shared environmental footprint.
The total pooled storage limit is the maximum amount of storage that can be used across your combined users. For A3 or A5 licenses, use this calculation: 100TB + (number of A3 paid users x 50GB) + (number of A5 paid users x 100 GB) + (additional storage purchased) = capacity/limit.
