Increasing OneDrive storage can be done for individual users using PowerShell. You can use the Set-SPOSite cmdlet to specify the new storage quota in megabytes.

To increase storage, you'll need to provide a value for the "StorageQuota" parameter. This value can be either higher or lower than the tenant's default limit.

The quota can be set to any size in megabytes, so choose a value that suits your needs. For example, if you want to increase storage to 10 GB, you would use the value 10240 (10 GB = 10,240 MB).

You can use the "StorageQuota" parameter to set a new quota that's higher than the tenant default, or you can set a lower quota if needed.
