Client needs to be upgraded to 100GB mailbox but admin center is missing the purchase products tab. Client is not under a partner per image. My other clients have purchase products tab per image. Call M$ and some dude with some accent "elevated" my request to tier 2.

I don't know if any of the following will be of assistance.
Microsoft 365 users who also use Outlook.com but each with a different Microsoft account login. The Microsoft 365 benefits don’t apply to the separate Outlook.com account.
For Microsoft 365 customers with Outlook.com using the same Microsoft account login, it should not make a lot of difference .. UNLESS they are already close to using their entire 1TB of OneDrive quota.

It WILL be a problem for two groups of people:

  • Heavy users of so-called ‘Free’ Outlook.com with 15GB of mailbox space and just 5GB of OneDrive. They might find their OneDrive space greatly diminished when attachments are counted.
    • A workaround to limited cloud storage has been to use email attachments instead. Microsoft’s decision blocks that bit of nerdy trickery.
  • Microsoft 365 users who also use Outlook.com but each with a different Microsoft account login. The Microsoft 365 benefits don’t apply to the separate Outlook.com account.
 
They fuckin renamed "purchase services" to MARKETPLACE

MORONS
That in and of itself isn't a problem. The problem is they MOVED IT out of the billing section and into its own primary menu item. So if you don't click the little pin to see all admin centers, you might not see it.

This is why we can't have nice things. I'd lay money that this "workaround" as you call it was a primary motivator behind making attachments count towards the storage quotas.

It's just so dumb about the inconsistency too. One tenant still has Purchase Services, another tenant has marketplace. WHY
