Hi All,

Greetings for the day!!!

Today new small tip which I got to know and sharing.

In one of my last article related to SharePoint storage – Small Tips and Tricks – Microsoft 365 : SharePoint Online – Managing site storage limit – from SharePoint admin center we discussed how to manage the SharePoint storage. Today lets discuss new tip related to SharePoint online storage 🙂

How to know the total storage allocated and storage utilised for Tenant

• Log in to the SharePoint admin center – https://<tenant name>-admin.sharepoint.com/ – here I’ll use my development tenant – https://knowledgejunction1-admin.sharepoint.com/
• We have also detailed article to navigate to SharePoint admin center – Small Tips and Tricks – SharePoint admin center – How to navigate to SharePoint admin center
• As we navigate to SharePoint admin center, we will be on SharePoint admin center “Home” section as

• From left blade of “SharePoint admin center“, navigate to “Active sites“
• We will be redirected to “ALL SITES” blade as shown in below figure
• On “ALL SITES” blade, at top right corner we have total storage and available storage as shown in below fig
• Here in my local tenant – KnowledgeJunction1 – total space allocated is – 1.24 TB and available also 1.24 TB

Required Permissions to view / know the storage space

• Global Administrator
• SharePoint Administrator

How much storage allocated to my organization by default

• Total amount of Space allocated for my organization is based on default storage from Microsoft and number of licenses available in my Tenant plus if any extra space is purchased
• Microsoft provides 1 TB storage by default per tenant and additional 10 GB per each license
• For example in my local tenant I have 25 licenses allocated, so total storage allocated for my organization is

1 TB + (25 * 10 GB) = 1.24 TB approximate
