How Much Storage Do You Get With OneDrive
-
To find the storage amount for my ODfB account, I had to go digging.
Office 365 site --> One Drive --> Settings --> Storage Metrics (under Site Collection Administration )
-
30GB is all I have.
-
I did that Bing promotion (and felt filthy afterward) and got 100GB extra. So 130 total, plus 30 under my personal email. I realized my camera phone should definitely NOT be syncing with my work computer, so I made the personal account just for camera backup.

Because I keep hearing people talk about getting huge amounts but this is all that I see. Wondering who is actually getting this big accounts.
Those with O365 accounts, not generic OneDrive free accounts. Yeah I had to look this up a little while ago.

But, how does that work? Office 365 Onedrive is groove (sharepoint storage). I it didn't seem like you could use normal OneDrive with my office 365 account, I had to make a Microsoft account with the same email as my 365 email, but it's still 30GB. I don't really consider ODfB the same as OneDrive.

I think you're confusing O365 Business accounts with O365 Home accounts.
O365 Business does use ODfB, but home I'm pretty sure uses normal OneDrive.
To me the most confusing part is that O365 Home does not include email, it's really only the Office apps and OneDrive. If you want email, you use the free Outlook.com account.

I thought we were talking about business accounts here.

The 30 GB limit that Scott is seeing as posted in the OP is Free OneDrive, not something related to any version of O365.
To keep everyone on the same page, using ODfB will ensure everyone is talking about the business version, and OneDrive is usually only used to refer to the free version (with additional storage purchased if desired).

Corporate O365 accounts get 1TB of ODfB. Personal O365 accounts get 1TB of OneDrive. I'm not sure what the issue is?
Ah, the personal account is not getting this in ADDITION to an ODfB storage too? I guess that makes sense.
Except that ODfB isn't as polished or nice as OneDrive.

No disagreement there - but that's not a function of how much storage you get either
-
30GB for personal.
Where do I find out the size or how much space I have used with ODfB?

Thanks for that, wanted to check my ODFB account!

Wow...found it! I have less stored than I thought. Most of the heavy and "not allowed stuff" is on my Google Drive.
