Upload / Store large files in OneDrive.
Him we're trying to upload a few 20 GB files into OneDrive, but we're hitting the limit of 15 GB. Is there any way around that? These are PST files that we don't want a user storing on their local machine since they aren't backed up there.

Hi Scott. These are old Lotus Notes mailboxes that we've converted to PST files so our users can keep as an archive and view in Outlook.
I can copy the PST to my OneDrive and see what happens. Worth a try.
Thanks.

PSTs should never be stored on a network drive, SPO/ODFB library or so on. Doing so just invites trouble. If you have such need, use a real backup solution. Or better yet, use the Online Archive feature of Office 365.
There is a 100 GB file size limit for OneDrive with Windows 10. But if you are trying to do it from Windows 8, the limit is 15 GB. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/upload-photos-and-files-to-onedrive-b00ad3fe-6643-4b16-9212-de00ef02b586

Hi, we are Office 365 E3 owners. We get 1 TB of space, but each file can only be 15 GB or less. These PST files will not be accessed often, if at all. We don't want to delete them though because they belong to a higher up within the company. To be more specific, this is OneDrive for Business. This will be more for long term storage. Thanks.
Apparently, the 15 GB limit is being increased to 100 GB. It is being rolled out now, and should be complete by the end of June.

When I said copy the pst to onedrive, I meant as a back up, not to use live.

Instead of uploading the file, what about copying it to a local onedrive folder and let it sync?
