1 This is the storage quota for the Recoverable Items folder, not the quota for the entire archive mailbox. The storage quota for the archive mailbox is unlimited for users with an Exchange Online (Plan 2) license or for users who have both an Exchange Online Plan 1 and an Exchange Online Archiving license. For information about increasing the Recoverable Items quota, see Increase the Recoverable Items quota for mailboxes on hold.
2 The initial storage quota for the Recoverable Items folder in an archive mailbox is 100 GB. When auto-expanding archiving is turned on, additional storage is automatically added when the storage capacity for the Recoverable Items folder is reached. For more information, see Overview of unlimited archiving in Office 365. See the Office 365 Roadmap for details about availability of auto-expanding archiving.
