We’ve been getting free storage for a long time now and we’ve taken advantage of it with poor housekeeping so I see this as leading to improvements in our offboarding workflows while having the option to pay for indefinite storage, if it is required. I’ll be surprised if there isn’t a similar change with shared mailboxes.
If I enable a retention policy to retain onedrive files forever and delete a user account. After 93 days can I get this data through an eDiscovery process? Without paying anything more?
From what I understand, no, you would need to pay for Microsoft 365 archiving for all unlicensed accounts if you want to retain their data beyond 93 days. This change essentially closes a loophole that allowed companies to retain unlimited amounts of data without incurring any costs.

Thanks Nick, super clear video. Awesome you take the time to explain the dirty little details.
I wonder will MS come after shared mailboxes next?
It Will be fed to the AI systems!
Thanks so much for this, and so well explained!
Thanks for this very well explained video! Btw. nice dog… Best, Fritz
Get you hooked on the solution, then refine offering. Bait and switch?
correct me if I'm wrong - could we potentially add a license to an account before the 93 days and then remove the license to reset the archive clock?
Hi, nice video and which software you used for drawings.
You are grown up! 🎉🎉🎉

I'm having the same question. Thanks for asking 🙂

Google already offers an Archiving license so this is just MS following.
I wish Microsoft can offers Office 365 minus OneDrive.
Define unlicensed user.
Another reason to just use a SAAS backup solution
Don’t they just delete your files when you stop paying, too?
Windows 🤣
