SharePoint storage quotas in multi-geo environments

By default, all geo locations of a multi-geo environment share the available tenant storage quota.

With the SharePoint geo storage quota setting, you can manage the storage quota for each geo ___location. When you allocate a storage quota for a geo ___location, it becomes the maximum amount of storage available for that geo ___location, and is deducted from the available tenant storage quota. The remaining available tenant storage quota is then shared across the configured geo locations for which a specific storage quota hasn't been allocated.

The SharePoint storage quota for any geo ___location is allocated by the SharePoint administrator by connecting to the central ___location. Geo administrators for satellite locations can view the storage quota but can't allocate it.

Configure a storage quota for a geo ___location

Use the Microsoft SharePoint Module and connect to the central ___location to allocate the storage quota for a geo ___location.

Note

You can find a list of Microsoft 365 geo ___location codes here.

To allocate Storage Quota for a ___location, run cmdlet:

Set-SPOGeoStorageQuota -GeoLocation <geolocationcode> -StorageQuotaMB <value>

To view Storage Quota for the current geo ___location, run:

Get-SPOGeoStorageQuota

To view Storage Quota for all geo locations, run:

Get-SPOGeoStorageQuota -AllLocations

To remove the allocated storage quota for a geo ___location, set StorageQuota value = 0:

Set-SPOGeoStorageQuota -GeoLocation <geolocationcode> -StorageQuotaMB 0
