Summary
Microsoft put OneDrive pay-as-you-go storage into public preview for Microsoft 365 business customers, letting admins automatically cover usage above each user’s licensed quota.
At $0.20 per GB a month, the option is turned off by default and can be enabled in the Microsoft 365 admin center, where admins can choose eligible users and set budget caps and alerts.
The new model supplements rather than replaces OneDrive storage packs, which previously required fixed add-ons from 100GB to 6TB for individual accounts.
OneDrive’s 25TB per-user cap remains unchanged, and general availability is scheduled for November.
The move mirrors Microsoft’s June rollout of pay-as-you-go SharePoint storage and comes before a OneDrive plus Copilot event on Oct. 20 focused on upcoming AI features.
