ThierryB - You can go in and look at your OneDrive document library and verify it's 500 versions. Keep in mind with differential sync and the way files are saved in the cloud, the space required is not 500x the original file size. Versioning is needed for autosave and co-authoring capabilities.

Hi All
after migrating a lot of data for a customer, I can say that all the versions take all their place!
I migrated nearly 2 To data. Then after migration, I run a simple script to update creation dates on folders/files.
=> It made me a new version for all files (a lot of video/sound files), and 4 To were used.
I found later that it was possible to do an upgrade in place to avoid that (with another function).
I also had to create a script to remove useless old versions!
Note that it is always possible to allow less that 100 versions on Onedrive and Sharepoint.
