Digital Clutter and Information Risks: OneDrive Manager Offers Solutions as Microsoft Introduces New Storage Policies

In January 2025, Microsoft will roll out changes to storage policies for unlicensed OneDrive accounts. The change will impact IT administrators and OneDrive users who will be unable to access archived unlicensed accounts.  Further, unlicensed accounts tied to active users where the information is stored in OneDrive will be deleted.

Purchasing additional OneDrive licenses to access important organisational information can be expensive. Additionally, transferring this information to a more secure and accessible environment can be time-consuming.

In an era where digital clutter, information risks, and information accessibility are growing concerns, iWorkplace OneDrive Manager can transform how organisations best manage OneDrive content across active, inactive, and unlicensed accounts. Developed by Information Leadership, this innovative iWorkplace solution is designed to streamline the transition from OneDrive to more structured Teams and Workspaces, ensuring that information is both secure and easily accessible.
