That’s where it would become problematic then as the mail is only accessible through the Compliance centre, it can be exported to PST but it wouldn’t be a quick process and would create a bit of administrative burden and as you said you didn’t want to do.
Only other thing would be lower tier licenses like exchange plan 1/2 if it was only exchange data you care about. Could at least reduce the cost a bit.

Our primary issue with PST is how it stands now with OneDrive/SharePoint having the restriction of 5Gb max per file. If we need to export 75Gb of data, we'd have to separate it out to 15 separate PST files then use OneDrive client sync as it won't work if in the cloud then manually adding 15 files to each user that needs to access the email.
Crazy how there is no solution for something so basic.

- luvsqlJul 21, 2021Steel ContributorYes but we are trying to keep our devices as thin/dumb as possible (my tablet only has a 256Gb HD and others are 128Gb). Having a 100Gb file locally sync'd from OneDrive in order to access the emails is not possible.
