When you Archive your Office 365 groups, the files and folders in the libraries of the Team Site connected to the Office 365 group are put into ShareGate Azure storage (for information on security, click here). You can retrieve them at a later date if needed.
What's archived:
- Files and folders in libraries.
- Files and folders that were shared in the Teams private channels (if present).
- SharePoint's hierarchy (transformed into folders).
What's not archived:
- SharePoint-related metadata.
- SharePoint permissions.
- Content specific to other workloads (Teams, Outlook, etc.)

Thanks!
Any help on how we would estimate our storage requirements for Azure?
Hello Pamela,
Thank you for your comment! Microsoft's detailed documentation on creating your Azure storage account should help guide you on this.
Setting up your own Azure storage account with ShareGate Apricot is easy if you decide that's the best way to store your organization's archived content.
Hope that helps!
Hi, Could you advise what happens to the Group / Team / Site once someone clicks on Archive, is the group then deleted and the SP Site Deleted? Or does it just copy the content.
Hello Graham,
Archiving does not copy the item, but it is not the same as permanently deleting it. Though you will not be able to access archived items anymore from your Office 365 tenant, archived items can be restored within 30 days. You can learn more in Access Archived Items.
Thank you!
