@Ming Welcome to Microsoft Q&A, Thank you for posting your here!!

As of now there is no option to provision auto-expandable disks in Azure. However, we have larger and more powerful Azure Managed Disk sizes of up to 32 TiB on Premium SSD, Standard SSD, and Standard HDD disk offerings. In addition, we support disk sizes up to 64 TiB on Ultra Disks for more information please check the document

Answer 3

@Ming

For standard file shares, it's an upper boundary of the Azure file share, beyond which end-users cannot go. If a quota is not specified, standard file share can span up to 100 TiB (or 5 TiB if the large file shares property is not set for a storage account).

For premium file shares, quota means provisioned size. The provisioned size is the amount that you will be billed for, regardless of actual usage. For more information on how to plan for a premium file share, see provisioning premium file shares.
