Office 365 Business and Enterprise plans include shared storage (in the form of SharePoint Online team sites) the default allotment is 1 TB plus 10 GB for each licensed user. Storage allowances over 25 TB are handled by adding 25 TB SharePoint team sites to individual users and providing a credit for the added storage to the organization.
