File archive in OneDrive

Stephen and Arvind welcome back Trent Green for a deep dive into one of the most requested follow-ups to site archive: file-level archive. Trent explains how this new capability gives IT admins a more precise way to manage storage—archiving individual files or folders within active sites instead of entire sites. The team walks through how it works, what the end-user experience looks like, and how archived files can be reactivated (including a built-in seven-day undo window). They also cover public preview timing, consumption-based billing, and what's coming next—like admin-driven policies based on last access dates. If you're looking for smarter ways to manage aging content without disrupting collaboration, this episode breaks it down clearly and practically!
