Until now, organizations needed an Office 365 Extra File Storage add-on for additional SharePoint storage, which required fixed-capacity purchases that often led to unused costs. To address this, Microsoft has introduced a pay-as-you-go billing model for SharePoint storage in Microsoft 365. This allows organizations to pay only for the additional storage they consume beyond their included quota. In this blog, we’ll explore Microsoft’s pay-as-you-go SharePoint storage model and how it can help optimize costs.

The new Security Detection Report in the Teams admin center helps admins monitor messaging threats across Teams, including impersonation attempts, malicious links, and weaponizable file types.
