Hello, Is it necessary to keep the user mailbox active in order to enable access to the user data on OneDrive for business to another user.
The process we follow during off-boarding:
1. We disable the account in AD.
2. We keep the mailbox active and share the link of the user data on OneDrive for business to another user to download the data.
3. Once the data is downloaded, we delete the mailbox.
Is the above process correct?
Regards

They are not related. But instead of doing things manually, you can take advantage of the functionality Microsoft provides for that scenario. Take a look at Inactive mailboxes: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/create-and-manage-inactive-mailboxes
And OneDrive for Business's automatic access delegation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/retention-and-deletion#configure-automatic-access-delegati...
