Limit the number of PST file histories

Hello,

On my collaborators' personal OneDrive folders, I archive emails in an 'Outlook archive' folder in a PST format file.

For some users, this file is over 100GB in size.

Automatically creating a history for this type of file means that the OneDrive limit is quickly reached.

How can I avoid creating a history for certain types of PST file?

Or do you have another solution for me?

Thank you for your help,
G

    Microsoft offers the following basic features:
    -create archives in the 'My Documents/Office Files' directory,
    -on the other hand, to make integrated OneDrive backups of the “My Documents” directories.

    This proposal needs to be completed in order to manage this situation properly.

    It's important for Microsoft to come up with a solution adapted to the proposal - for example, by proposing to stop logging on certain files - this could be the case first for PSTs, but also tomorrow for PBIX.
