Has Linus tried onedrive yet?

SO I don't want to get to into this for PII reasons but suffice it to say I work closely with Microsoft product and customers. And during the course of my job I have been working with a Cx on getting the most bang for the buck cloud storage but I came across this:

https://products.office.com/en-us/onedrive-for-business/compare-onedrive-for-business-plans

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/OneDrive-for-Business/SharePoint-Online-Plan-2-OneDrive-storage-is-unlimited/m-p/104564/highlight/true#M2546

TLDR Onedrive plan 2 (if you buy 5 licenses (or plans that come with OneDrive plan 2)) comes with unlimited storage. This is as per the Onedrive promotional material. The basic jist is you buy five licenses that come with Onedrive plan 2 and when you hit qouta you open a ticket and Msoft support raises your quota for you.

An alternative that I haven't been able to test but in theory works:

Share point plan 1 or 2 come with 1 tb per site and 25 per site collection (this is per Msoft documentation on the subject). You can make new site collections from the Share point admin center. I dont have 25 tb of data to test with but i am pretty sure linus does.

Anyway, my point is i remember a video Linus did about google storage/syncing services.

Also FYI Onedrive is not for data back up, if you delete one drive content that change propagates to all devise linked to that one drive content. Its at most additional storage.
