Arguably, this situation is already broken right now. If an organization can't be bothered to use their tools (Sharepoint and the wider O365 ecosystem) correctly, it's entirely on them.

#5F OneDrive. They locked me out without any explanation and without any notificaiton, ended my subscription and I lost valuable photos forever. Stay away from it if you are looking for storage for any reason.

#6I'm not against getting help from AI when writing, but at least take some time to make sure it's not place-filler slop.
AI;DR: Starting from early July 2026, all associated data will be deleted 12 Months after a user license is removed.

AFAIK Sharepoint doesn't have these limitations. The idea is that in companies OneDrive should not be used for permanent stuff. Which is strange, to be granted, but after all using OneDrive for company documents basically means they are being shared out of some personal space that doesn't belong anywhere.

You make it sound way simpler than it is. Their ToS are probably written in a way they are fully protected in cases like this.

#10> Let me paint a familiar picture. Someone leaves your organisation, or a licence gets removed as part of a cost-saving exercise.
That's a rather weird way of phrasing it. It almost suggested that you shouldn't audit your license needs.
Other than this was always the case, it's hard to see why data stored in a close account wouldn't get deleted.
