Data storage in Power BI workspaces

Hi! I'm Pro license user.
Please, help me to understand better, this information from docs: 

Shared capacity limits

For workspaces in shared capacity:

  • There is a per-workspace storage limit of 100 GB.
  • For app workspaces, the total usage can’t exceed the tenant storage limit of 10 GB multiplied by the number of Pro licenses in the tenant.

If I have understood correctly, it's about Pro license? If yes - how to get 100GB of storage for my workspace? Because, according to last updates - incremental refresh is now available for Pro users and I want create small dataset (less than 1GB), сonfigure for it incremental refresh, upload it to the cloud and then this dataset will increase up to 10GB or even more thanks to incremental refresh.

    Hi adeptus2008 ,

     

    The 10Gb you showed is the capacity of per workspace for per Pro user,which is a personal storage,not a total workspace storage.And the total storage for per workspace is not shown in your personal account.

     

    I hope this would make sense.

    Well if it is accurate and not a typo that seems new to me, workspaces were always 10GB max. Will have to investigate.

    Hi adeptus2008 ,

     

    No need to get the storage,it has been already assigned in shared capacity,100GB is a limitation of the maximum storage for each workspace in  a shared capacity.

      Hi v-kelly-msft!
      Thank you for answer! So, my dataset has posibility to be increased more than 10GB in my workspace with help of incremental refresh? But why I only see 10 GB limit? Or I don't understand conception of the shared capacity right?
