SharePoint and OneDrive limitations

SharePoint and OneDrive have storage and service limits. You might encounter an error if you exceed one of these limits, like if you reach the maximum storage allowed in SharePoint.

Required: You need a Online Business Essentials, Business Professional, Premium Security, or Business Enterprise plan to access OneDrive and SharePoint.

SharePoint Limits

  • Items in libraries: Up to 30 million files and folders

    • You should use the sync app, and not the browser upload feature, to upload files that are larger than a few GB.

  • Subsites: Up to 2,000 per site collection
  • SharePoint hosted applications: 20,000 instances per organization
Note: The SharePoint URL is static, meaning we can’t change SharePoint subdomains (for example, if you want to change your netorg.sharepoint.com URL to something different).

SharePoint Service Limitations

  • File sharing: You can only share to specific recipients when they’re in the same organization.
    • For security reasons, we recommend limiting your file sharing to specific recipients or to the smallest group possible.
  • Restoring files: Deleted files are kept in SharePoint’s Recycle Bin for up to 93 days. After 93 days, the files are permanently deleted.
