[What and Why:]<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We\u2019re updating how unlicensed OneDrive accounts are retained to help organizations manage storage more predictably and reduce long-term unmanaged data. This update introduces enforced lifecycle stages for unlicensed OneDrive accounts that remain unpaid for an extended period, ensuring clearer storage governance while giving admins multiple options to preserve data when needed.<\/p>\n

[Rollout Schedule:]<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

General Availability (Worldwide): This change will be implemented starting early July 2026<\/b> and introduces a lifecycle with staged enforcement actions and built\u2011in time for admins to take action before restrictions apply.<\/p>\n

[Impact on Your Organization:]<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Who is affected:<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n
  • Tenants with unlicensed OneDrive accounts created after license removal or user deletion.<\/li>\n

    <\/ul>\n

    Platforms \/ Services:<\/b><\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n
    • OneDrive for Business<\/li>\n

      <\/p>\n

    • SharePoint Online<\/li>\n

      <\/ul>\n

      What will happen:<\/b><\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

        <\/p>\n
      • Day 60:<\/b> Unlicensed OneDrive becomes read-only<\/b>.<\/li>\n

        <\/p>\n

      • Day 93:<\/b> OneDrive is archived:<\/b>\n
          \n
        • Users cannot access the content directly.<\/li>\n
        • Content remains available for eDiscovery and legal holds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
        • Up to 12 cumulative months of non\u2011payment:<\/b>
          <\/b>\n
            \n
          • If no action is taken, the OneDrive data is permanently deleted.<\/b>
            <\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
          • If a license is reassigned or billing is enabled before deletion<\/b>, the OneDrive exits retention enforcement and resumes normal behavior.<\/li>\n
          • This change is on by default<\/b> and does not require tenant opt\u2011in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            [Action Required \/ Recommendations:]<\/b><\/p>\n

            <\/p>\n

              <\/ul>\n

              Admins should review unlicensed OneDrive accounts and take one or more of the following actions as appropriate:<\/p>\n

                \n
              • Reassign a OneDrive license <\/b>to the user.<\/li>\n
              • Enable pay\u2011as\u2011you\u2011go billing<\/b> for:\n
                  \n
                • Unlicensed OneDrive archive storage, or<\/li>\n
                • Unlicensed OneDrive standard storage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
                • Migrate content<\/b> to another OneDrive or SharePoint location.<\/li>\n
                • Adjust retention policies<\/b> so data is deleted when no longer required.<\/li>\n
                • Take no action<\/b> if the data is no longer needed and can be deleted after the 365th unlicensed day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                  No action is required if appropriate licensing, billing, or retention settings are already in place.<\/p>\n
