OneDrive for business litigation hold
Hi Everyone, there is in OneDrive a litigation hold like we have in Exchange Online? i'm not talking about preservation policy that don't allow delete content , i'm talking about every content that...
- Yes you can place a hold on the site
You've got the Recycle Bin built into everyone's OneDrive for Business.
To do what you're after you'd need a 3rd party solution like AvePoint.
However I'd suggest there's a user education piece here. With things like Office 365 Groups the requirement for users storing work content in their individual OneDrive for Business is becoming less and less, so the content in there should almost be like a "home drive" and ultimately be the responsibility of the individual to ensure they don't delete things they need.
Also with a 5TB storage amount per user upon activation, deleting content is hardly needed. :-)

Hi,
this requirement come from other reason – the customer afraid that before the user leave the company he will delete all his OneDrive Content and delete it permanently from the Recycle bin
this is the scenario that they want to ovoid

Time to read up on Recycle Bins - there are two stages to them, and users only have control over sending items to the first stage. From there, your global admins can gain access to, and restore content for about 90 days. There is another thread that describes the steps in more detail: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/second-stage-recycle-in-one-drive-for-business/be1361fe-b87b-4457-9b32-12ca9ceae180

- @Eli - User is actually a site collection admin on their own OneDrive, so they do have access to their second level recycle bin. It's just that most users don't know that. A malicious user could delete from the second level recycle bin. Admin would then have to use the OneDrive restore functions to recover.
