Reporting OneDrive for Business Storage

A couple of years ago, retrieving information about OneDrive for Business sites with PowerShell
By: Tony Redmond submitted:Jun 15 2022
A couple of years ago, retrieving information about OneDrive for Business sites with PowerShell
usually involved some gyrations. Then Microsoft updated the Get-SPOSite cmdlet with the IncludePersonalSite switch and things became easier. For instance, a reader asked if it was possible to generate a report listing all the OneDrive for Business sites in a tenant with the storage allocated and used for each site. No problem, we thought, as we scanned the internet to see if people had already solved the problem. As it happens, several example scripts are available, but we ended up writing our own because it was possible to simplify the code . We also store the output in a CSV file as it's a very flexible format for reporting or further analysis (like importing into Power BI).

A few years ago my focus shifted from on-premises to cloud (Azure and AWS) and this taught me that
my toolset must evolve in order for me to keep up with the industry. I, the Citrix and ConfigMgr / SCCM guy, started learning about infrastructure as code, CI/CD, C#, Python, NodeJS, Go and modern ways of managing infrastructure in a cloud environment. I am far off from being fluent in any of those other programming languages, but know enough to think I can pick the right tool for the job.
