Microsoft has discontinued the option for unlimited storage in its OneDrive for Business (Plan 2) offering, a popular choice for large organizations requiring extensive storage capacity. The change occurred for new customers sometime between July 14 and July 28. New users are now limited to OneDrive for Business (Plan 1), which provides 1TB of storage by default, with the possibility of increasing it to 5TB based on the number of users.
Microsoft indicated that this change was made in response to customer demand and aimed to streamline the purchasing process. Existing customers on unlimited storage plans can still add seats and renew their licenses. Microsoft’s pricing structure for OneDrive for Business now includes a standalone Plan 1 option for $5 per user per month, which provides 1TB of storage. Alternatively, users can choose from Microsoft 365 packages, such as Microsoft 365 Business Basic for $6 per user per month or Microsoft 365 Business Standard for $12.50 per user per month, all of which include a default maximum storage limit of 1TB.
Previously, OneDrive for Business (Plan 2) allowed unlimited storage for organizations with five or more users, offering 1TB per user by default, with the possibility for admins to increase it to 5TB. Additional storage, up to 25TB per user, could be requested through Microsoft support.
