With ShareGate Apricot you do not have to worry about losing important documents when you decide to clean up your inactive teams and groups.
When you archive, you are able to retrieve your files and folders even past Microsoft’s soft delete 30-day grace period.
You can decide to use the default Azure storage solution provided by ShareGate Apricot or your own Azure storage.
Azure storages comparison table

Stored in Microsoft Azure’s East US 2 region. |

| Security |
Your data is secure at all times (at rest and in transit) and stored with 3 layers of encryption. For more information, see Is my data secure? |
The same level of security as the default storage is provided when you use custom Azure storage. The app stores your archives in a format that only the application can read. |

Using your own storage incurs costs that will be added to your Azure bill. |
