Storage Space Reduction on OneDrive & SharePoint Online

Microsoft products play a major role in everyday university life, especially for many students. Services such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel and OneNote are part of the Microsoft licences included in the Microsoft federal contract that RWTH Aachen University has concluded with Microsoft. This gives students (and employees) the necessary rights to use the software.
Due to new votes and licence changes on the part of Microsoft, the storage space for OneDrive and SharePoint Online on the tenant for students has been redefined.
You can find out what has changed for you and how to proceed in this blog post.

But is it even possible to delete the internet? In this blog post, we want to get to the bottom of this myth.
