I share my M365 subscription with family members, we all make use of the 1TB OneDrive storage.
I know that as the account owner, I can get additional storage if needed (I think an extra 100GB is £1.99 or something).

Can other users get more storage if they need it? I know that if I paid for any more storage myself it would only apply to my account and not the additional users

EDIT: Found the answer, unfortunately additional users only have 1TB, they can't buy more

Is this the blurb of documentation you found?

I haven't had a need to try to get additional storage, but is that saying that it's ONLY the account owner, or is that saying that only 1 person who paid for more storage would get more storage? For example, if I bought 200GB more, it wouldn't go to all of 6 of my Accounts, just the one paying for more storage.

Yes I know that, but me being the account owner can add additional storage (upto an extra 1TB, making 2TB total), but I was wondering if other users could also increase their 1TB allowance.

I found the answer - they can't
