Problem
Microsoft wanted to transition their storage offering for school tenants (EDU license holders) from a per-product model to pooled storage model - where services like OneDrive, SharePoint and Exchange would share the same storage. Because of this change there was a need to provide the users with tools to help them understand and monitor their storage better.

Managing storage limits
In Microsoft 365 platform, each of the product has their own settings for managing storage limits for the end users. We saw a need to group all these settings in one page so that a Global Admin need not have to open each admin center to set these limits.
