Microsoft SharePoint - Site File Storage Information

When a Sharepoint or Teams site is created, it includes a document library for file storage; this file storage functions with OneDrive and in the same way as personal OneDrive storage. You can view all sites accessible to you at https://kansas.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx.

  1. Click on a site/group to view the landing page for that site.
     
  2. The document library shows a preview pane on the right side of the window. You can view the fully-featured document library by clicking the Documents option on the sidebar on the left side of the page.

     
    • Options of note in the above screenshot are:
      1. Click New to create new documents directly into the Sharepoint site, using Office 365 browser apps.
      2. Upload documents or folders from your local computer to the Sharepoint site.
      3. Sync the Sharepoint collection to your local computer via the OneDrive application. You must have OneDrive installed and be logged in to your KU account for this option to work. When synced, you will see an extra option in File Explorer called "University of Kansas" with a link to all folders you have chosen to sync from Sharepoint.
         

Files can be created, uploaded, downloaded, or shared as you would from a personal OneDrive account, with the exception that files stored in Sharepoint cannot be shared with users outside of KU.

Document Library Storage: A site collection is provisioned 25 TB for data storage. This limit cannot be increased.
