📈 Your SharePoint and OneDrive storage might be growing for reasons you are not tracking. It is not always new files. In many environments, storage quietly expands through things like version history, inactive sites that never get cleaned up, and content that continues to count toward quotas long after teams stop using it. Understanding what actually contributes to storage usage can make a big difference when it comes to avoiding unnecessary costs. In this video, we break down what really drives SharePoint and OneDrive storage growth, how quotas work, what gets counted, and where admins should be looking first. 📽️ Watch now: hubs.ly/Q046MzdL0 #SharePoint #OneDrive #Storage #Microsoft365 #M365

Which means the way we think about governance, visibility, and control has to evolve too. Join Mark Kashman and Joy Apple as they break down how OneDrive’s role is evolving and what organizations need to do to keep it governed, managed, and maintained in the age of AI.

Some of the biggest governance risks in Microsoft 365 are not in the areas admins watch most closely. They grow quietly in the background, where visibility is limited and structure erodes over time. Without deeper reporting, blind spots make it difficult to see where storage is expanding and licensing waste is compounding. ✨ Join us to see how Orchestry’s newest features deliver tenant-wide visibility, repeatable governance, and optimization insights that translate directly into measurable risk reduction and cost savings. You'll walk away knowing how to: ✅ Uncover OneDrive blind spots and control storage sprawl ✅ Gain clear visibility into usage, oversharing, and orphaned content ✅ Find licensing waste and quantify optimization opportunities in real dollars ✅ Delegate governance and reporting responsibilities using role-based access control Bring personal storage, sprawl, and costs under control.

OneDrive has quietly become one of the least governed areas in Microsoft 365. It holds sensitive files, external sharing links, and content that Copilot and Search can surface instantly, yet in many environments it’s reviewed only when something goes wrong. Most teams have structure around Teams and SharePoint. OneDrive often operates differently. In our latest post, we explore what OneDrive governance looks like when it actually works at scale, with tenant-wide visibility and automated review cycles that reduce manual effort.
