If you need to take either of these actions, you’ll need to purchase at least 1 GB more than you’re currently consuming. At the moment, if you’re over, you can’t create a new environment, or copy one environment over another. Microsoft has started putting restrictions in place for tenants that are over their storage subscription. From this report, you can also drill in to see how much of each storage type is being consumed by the environment. You can find your current storage consumption report in the Power Platform Admin Center, under Resources > Capacity. Where to find your current storage consumption We recommend all customers to take advantage of this to create a “free” sandbox environment for training and testing. Along these lines, another change that Microsoft made the ability to create as many environments as you want, with no additional charges as long as you have a minimum of 1 GB of database storage available. The storage entitlements are at the tenant level, so all environments will count against the same three buckets of storage. You get 2 GB of log storage, with no additional entitlements per user.

Log storage includes your Audit History (the records of who changed which field, when, and what it was changed from/to).

Additional file storage costs $2 per GB per month. You get 20 GB of file storage to start with, plus 2 GB per licensed user (for Enterprise licenses). File storage includes your file attachments, typically to your Appointments, Emails, and Notes.This data is at the heart of your Dynamics 365 environment, and Microsoft is pricing as such, charging $40 per GB per month if you need more than the base entitlement. You get 10 GB included with your subscription, plus 250 MB per licensed user (for Enterprise licenses). Database storage includes all your CRM records (Accounts, Contacts, Activities, etc.) and the definition of how your system is set up (fields, entities, workflows, etc.).In the new model, Microsoft is making a distinction between three types of storage, which each have their own SKU, pricing, and per-user entitlement levels. The previous storage model, aka the “legacy storage model” had all storage covered under one add-on SKU, usually priced around $5-$10 per GB per month. Here’s a quick refresher on what’s changing for Dynamics 365 Storage: Microsoft announced the new storage pricing a good while ago, but have just recently started enforcing limitations on customers that are consuming more storage than their subscription, which is putting pressure on everyone to get current. Storage for Dynamics 365 environments has been a hot topic for us over the past few months.
