When I was in school we had 1tb onedrive subscriptions provided by the school for about 3k people not including teachers. 150tb does seem quite small unless each student only gets 250gb or 500gb of storage

When I was in school, back in the day, we had about 10 GB of storage for ~10,000 students.

We allowed 100 MB per student, but didn't have even remotely enough space for them all to use that much. Probably 50-60% never even logged in.

Yes we backed it up to tape and could restore it as needed.

Was this in the late 90s?

Why yes it was!

I award you 10 Internet points for your skill.

Because like 99% of the users don't use more than a couple hundred megabytes.
