How can I check my Microsoft OneDrive Storage usage?

  • You can check your storage usage at any time by going to the Microsoft OneDrive page.

How will I know when I am approaching the storage limit?

  • Users will receive an email notification reminding them to manage their storage usage.

What happens when my Microsoft OneDrive is at 100% capacity?

  • You won’t be able to upload, edit, or sync new files (such as Camera Roll) to your OneDrive. Your existing files will remain but will be read-only.
