Best way to extend SharePoint storage?
We have been pushed into using SharePoint for storing data by some document management platform. We has thought we’d have headroom from the existing 2TB we get with Business Premium licences - boy howdy were we wrong.
My 1TB of data has ingested at nearly 1.5TB - which frankly I don’t totally get but I am assuming it’s a kilobyte != kibibyte thing that I can stress about later. Some of that may be versioning related stuff, etc. but it is what it is.
Anywho, with any further data we’re touching on maxing this out, and current options to scale up appears to be pay per GB and buying a ton of Extra Storage licences up front or PAYG - just making sure there isn’t a better way to handle this? Long term I sense we’ve underestimated the cost in using SharePoint, but need to be sure before I upset managements day!
