Microsoft Teams must become more ecological
I'm a web developer and I work at Argolight ( http://argolight.com ).
We use Teams and we like it.
But we are an environmentally conscious company and for us Teams is not ecological because all of our files are saved in a cloud (sharepoint) and we don't want that, especially because we do not need to keep the history on some of our channel in Teams. (We like to use gifs or pictures to joke in our fun channel 😉 - No need to save that)
I would like to propose a big feature for Teams : the possiblity to create "ephemeral channels", it will be very cool if theses channels run an auto clean to delete files (a real deletion, not in trash) with a life expectancy that we could define somewhere.
We think that a daily/weekly/monthly cron should be less power hungry that data storage !

Please consider this. It's important to be conscious that all data center contributes to destroy our planet.
acouval Hi, well if you want autodelete stuff, why not have not retention policies created in Office 365 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/retention-policies,
You can do same stuff for SharePoint Online and OneDrive as well.
If you want to suggest new feature in Teams, please do it here https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/
Retention policies do not fully meet our request, but this could be a good solution awaiting a solution more efficient.
Thank you for you response 🙂
