Users can preload content, files, or attachments that are attached to an Outlook meeting invitation to a Skype for Business Online meeting, but you can it turn on or off.

Currently, there are no cmdlets available in Skype for Business Online for setting or viewing online values for MaxContentStorageMB and MaxUploadFileMB. They are only available for on-premises deployments. It's important to know that content won't be uploaded to a meeting if the attached content exceeds the MaxUploadFileSizeMB or if the MaxContentStorageMB limit is reached.
