Got SharePoint Online/Office 365?  Well, guess what? 

25GB PER USER – UP FROM 7GB
We just gave you a full 25GB of online storage per user.  That’s right – by virtue of SkyDrive Pro & SharePoint Online’s storage, we now provide users with 25GB of free storage – up from 7GB.

And there’s more news.

SHIFT USER QUOTA – UP TO 100GB
Administrators of SharePoint Online/Office 365 can shift storage allocations to users that need more than 25GB.  Allocations of 50GB or 100GB may be granted by administrators – and the storage quota comes from the tenant’s overall pool of storage.  And you can bulk allocate these shifts to up to 25 users at a time.  So if say, 18 people need 100GB of storage, you can shift them to a 100GB in just a few keystrokes.

And yes, there’s even more news.

2GB FILES NOW AVAILABLE – UP FROM 50MB
…And we’re also increasing the overall file upload limit in SharePoint Online to 2 GB/file – up from 50MB. 
…And recycle bin file retention is now 90 days – up from 30 days.
…And we now automatically version files by saving the last 10 versions of a file that stored in SkyDrive Pro.

Yeah, these a big changes & all Office 365 users with SharePoint Online will benefit from these increases in capability we’ve provided.  Read more about these changes here:
