How to determine current storage utilization of a family on Family 365 plan?

If I continue with my current Microsoft Family 365 subscription, total included storage utilization will be 2 TB.

However, at the present time I have not yet reached my renewal and so my family is still operating under the old rule of 1 TB per member.

I wish to see how much storage each family member is currently using, and the total storage utilization by my family. However, I find I can only view my own storage utilization (one member of six).

How can I, the person who pays the subscription, view storage utilization details for my entire family?

    Anyone that's using all hypothetical 6TB of data is pretty much told "lol no it's 2TB now for all of you, thanks".

    What an absolutely awful move by Microsoft, cutting 4TB of storage.

    No dashboard yet, as others have said. I need to know the same thing to see if I'll be keeping this or switching back to Google Drive.

    The fact that they're reducing storage by 2/3 and pitching it as "the goal is to provide a more flexible experience" is laughable and I sincerely believe they will lose a ton of subscribers. Just be honest and say, "storage is cutting into our profits so we're going to give you less and charge the same (or more in the near future)."

    Unfortunately, Microsoft 365 Family does not currently provide the subscription owner with a dashboard showing each family member's OneDrive storage usage.
    I am afraid you would have to ask each user to check the usage and inform you, for now.

    At the same time, please bookmark this page https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/accounts-billing/subscriptions/microsoft-365-subscription-sharing-faqs The documentation simply does not address whether the subscription owner can see individual or total storage consumption. However, as time goes, it can be updated to include any new information for new developments.

    Currently, the subscriber to a Microsoft 365 Family plan can only see their own OneDrive utilization. That will almost certainly change after April, 2027.

    There is, for the moment, little information about how the transition from the current storage scheme to the new scheme will be managed. I am confident that details are forthcoming.
