Running out of SharePoint storage can slow down your team's productivity and interrupt workflows. Thankfully, Microsoft 365 makes it easy to expand your SharePoint storage capacity — whether you're an admin or a regular user looking for smart alternatives.
To begin, admins can log into the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, navigate to Settings > Org Settings > Services > SharePoint, and view current storage details. If your organization needs more space, head to the Billing section to purchase additional storage. Microsoft offers flexible plans where you can add space as needed, charged per GB on a monthly basis.
For power users, PowerShell provides a more technical route. Using commands like Set-SPOSite, you can assign specific storage limits to sites or monitor usage patterns across multiple site collections.
Not an admin? No problem. You can still help reduce storage usage by cleaning up large files, deleting unused items, and managing version history settings. Archiving outdated documents or shifting them to OneDrive can also make a big difference.
Whether you expand or optimize, managing your SharePoint storage wisely ensures smoother collaboration and fewer disruptions — keeping your team focused and your data secure.
