@eg1995-5273
That's OK.

For the second point "Unlimited individual cloud storage“, it is not applicable to all subscriptions either, it also has conditions, that for qualifying plans for subscriptions (Such as Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 subscriptions of five or more users) of five or more users.

If you have any other questions, you may post back.

The limit for M365 basic plans is 1TB, you cannot increase it further. If you need more storage, assign a "premium" license to the user, anything that contains "Plan 2" will do: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/onedrive/compare-onedrive-plans?rtc=1&activetab=tab:primaryr2

Please refer to michev 's reply.

For most subscription plans, the default storage space for each user's OneDrive is 1 TB. To increase this storage up to 5 TB, it depends on your plan and the number of licensed users.

Here are 2 articles, you may also have a look.

Dears,

the below also is mentionned:
"Microsoft will initially provide 1 TB/user of OneDrive for Business storage, which admins can increase to 5 TB/user."

what do they mean by that?
and this too: *Unlimited individual cloud storage for qualifying plans for subscriptions of five or more users, otherwise 1 TB/user

from what i can understand is that unlimited storage is for qualifying plans but 5tb is eligible for all.

anyone can clear the matter?

thanks
Elio
