Note the 20 GB for OneDrive + 20 GB for Outlook limit is set by McGill University, and it is applied to students (not necessarily staff) [0]. Microsoft sets a different limit: [1]
> all institutions’ tenants will receive 100TB of free pooled storage across OneDrive, SharePoint, and Exchange, with an additional 50GB or 100GB of pooled storage per paid user for A3 and A5 subscriptions, respectively (not including Student Use Benefits). With pooled storage, an institutions’ total storage limit is the maximum amount of storage all users combined can use.
> In addition, effective February 1, 2024, users of Office 365 A1 (free subscription) will be limited to a maximum of 100GB of OneDrive storage within the institutional tenant’s 100TB of pooled storage.
McGill seems to offer desktop apps to students, so they have paid licences. [2] This means they could offer 50 GB per student, and I imagine they could allow the student to have more OneDrive files and less Outlook data. Furthermore, if they care about research data, that should be in a common SharePoint space with well-defined access and edit permissions.
