We have twelve people but only four need Word and Excel installed. Can we mix plans?

Yes, and mixing is usually the sensible thing to do, because different plans sit happily in the same account. Your four heavy users take Standard or Premium, the other eight take Basic, and all twelve still share one email area, one Teams setup and one file library. The catch is that a Basic user cannot install desktop Excel, so when somebody's role changes you have to remember to upgrade them, and nobody remembers until that person complains. We go through the licence list with you every few months so the count follows your actual payroll instead of quietly creeping upward.

Will we lose any old emails when we move?

No, everything comes across, and we prove it before anything old is switched off. We copy the mailboxes, the folder structure people have built up, contacts and calendar entries into the new mailboxes first, then run a second pass to pick up whatever arrived while the first copy was running. Your existing mailbox stays live and untouched until you tell us you are satisfied with what landed. The one thing that does not travel on its own is an archive saved as a PST file on somebody's laptop, and we deal with those as a separate job.

What exactly do you change inside the tenant to lock it down?

The short answer: every account asked for the phone as well as the password, the number of full administrator accounts cut down to two, and the old login methods that bypass that second step switched off. Beyond that we set rules about where logins are accepted from, tighten the anti-phishing settings, and turn on the audit log so there is a record when something looks wrong. Microsoft scores your account against its own recommendations, and we work down that list with you, explaining which items are worth the friction and which are not. Some of this does mildly annoy staff, and that is the trade we would rather discuss with you than spring on you.

Can we stop staff from mailing customer lists to their personal address?

Largely yes, using rules that watch outgoing mail and files on the shared drive for the patterns you care about, such as PAN details, bank account numbers or a document marked confidential (data loss prevention). When someone tries to send a price list or a customer database to an outside personal address, the message can be blocked outright, or allowed through with a warning and a record for management to see. Chat and channel messages inside Teams can be watched the same way, but that needs one of the larger enterprise licences rather than Business Premium. Start narrow, because a rule that catches too much gets switched off within a week, and remember that nothing here stops somebody photographing a screen.

Who fixes it if something breaks after the setup is done?

We do, and you reach a named engineer at our Kolkata desk rather than a ticket queue in another time zone. Every setup includes a settling-in period where we stay close, because the first week is when an odd calendar permission or a stubborn phone profile shows up. After that, most clients around Kolkata keep a monthly support arrangement covering joiners, leavers, licence changes and everyday Outlook and Teams trouble, and that is a recurring fee rather than free aftercare, which we say plainly before you sign. If you prefer to run day-to-day admin in-house, we hand over the admin accounts and written notes and stay available for the difficult ones.

Can we buy licences in rupees with a proper GST invoice?

Yes. Buying through Microtech Solutions as your licensing supplier means a rupee invoice with GST on it that your accountant can claim against, rather than a foreign card charge appearing on somebody's statement. You can pay monthly or take the annual term, and the annual term works out cheaper per user but fixes that seat for the year. Do treat licences as a running cost rather than a one-time buy, budgeted the same way you budget the internet connection, because it renews whether or not anybody reviews it.

We already run a Windows area in the office. Does that keep working?

Yes, the two can be joined so people use a single password for both. A small sync tool on your server copies user accounts and group memberships up to Microsoft's directory, so the password someone types to unlock their Windows machine is the same one that opens Outlook and Teams. Logon scripts, mapped drives and shared printers carry on as before while email and files move to the cloud. The trade-off is that the server now has to stay healthy, because if the sync stops, password changes stop flowing with it, which is one reason smaller offices often decide to retire the area controller and go cloud-only instead.

How long does the changeover take, and will email stop working during it?

For an office of ten to fifty people, plan on about a week, of which the actual switchover is one evening. Most of that week is quiet background copying while everyone carries on using the old email exactly as before. On cutover night we point your area at Microsoft, and new mail starts arriving within minutes, although a handful of senders on slow networks can take a few hours to notice the change. Expect a few small irritations the next morning, such as a phone asking for a password again or a signature to be re-added, which is why an engineer stays reachable through that first working day.

Our broadband is slow and drops during the day. Will people still be able to work?

Mostly yes, and the first few days are the real test. Outlook keeps a full copy of each mailbox on the laptop, so staff carry on reading and writing during an outage and everything sends when the line comes back, whereas a Teams call feels every hiccup immediately. The heavy part is the initial download of mailboxes and files, which we schedule overnight or stagger a few users at a time so the office line is not choked during business hours. If the connection drops every day, a second broadband link from a different provider will do more for you than anything we can change in software.

Can our Tally software and the office printer still send emails after the move?

Yes, but every one of them needs reconfiguring, and this is the step most businesses forget until the first invoice fails to leave the building. Anything that sends mail on its own, whether it is Tally, the scan-to-email button on the copier, an ERP mailing buy orders or the website enquiry form, has to be pointed at the new service with proper credentials or approved as a legitimate sender for your area. We write down every such device and application before cutover, then test each one the same evening. Older printers that only support outdated, unencrypted sending sometimes need a firmware update or a small relay arrangement.

Is Microsoft 365 better than Google Workspace for us?

It depends on what your office already runs on, and Microtech Solutions moves clients in both directions. If your team lives inside Excel, with real formulas, accounting exports and GST workings, Microsoft is the more comfortable home because the desktop apps are the genuine article rather than a browser imitation. If everybody works in a browser, shares documents constantly and rarely opens a spreadsheet more than a few hundred rows long, Google does the job and changing for its own sake wastes money. We would rather tell you your current setup is fine than sell you a migration you do not need.

Which plan do we actually need - Basic, Standard or Premium?

It comes down to two questions: does the person need Word and Excel installed on their machine, and how much control do you want over their device and their login. Business Basic covers company email, Teams and browser versions of the apps, which suits a shop floor or a sales team that lives on a phone. Business Standard adds the installed desktop apps that accounting and admin staff really do need. Business Premium adds the security layer on top, including full control of company laptops and tighter rules about where people may sign in from, and it costs noticeably more per person every month, so it is worth assigning it deliberately rather than to everybody by default.

Why does our company email keep landing in customers' spam folders?

Nearly always because your area never had its sender records finished properly. Mail servers at Gmail, Yahoo and the corporate gateways your customers sit behind check three small entries in your area settings to decide whether a message claiming to be from you really is (SPF, DKIM and DMARC), and if those are missing or half done, your quotations get treated as suspicious. We publish all three correctly and list every legitimate sender you use, including the website enquiry form, the accounting software and any mailing tool. Reputation recovers gradually rather than overnight, so give it a fortnight before judging the result.

Can we finally switch off the old file server sitting in the corner?

In most offices yes, though seldom on day one. We map the existing shared folders onto SharePoint and OneDrive, keep the department structure people already recognise, and set permissions so accounts cannot browse HR folders and the other way round. Files that a program holds open, such as a Tally data folder, a design library or a database, are usually better left on a local server or a NAS, because live database files and cloud sync do not get along. You gain access from home or a customer site without fiddling with a VPN, but you still need a backup, because the cloud copy is not one.

Do we have to commit for a full year, or can we add people as we hire?

Adding a licence takes minutes on any working day and the new person can be reading mail the same morning. Reducing is where businesses get caught out: on the monthly plan you can drop seats at the next billing date, but on an annual term you keep paying for that seat until it expires, used or not. For firms that take on extra hands around a festival rush or an audit season, we normally put the permanent team on the annual term and the floating headcount on monthly. That split keeps the bill honest without leaving anyone waiting for an account.

Seamless Microsoft Mailbox Migration & SharePoint Config in Bhabla Bazar

Half the migrations we take on are rescue jobs. Somebody moved a company off GoDaddy or Zimbra over a weekend, calendars arrived empty, shared folders vanished, and the boss's phone stopped syncing on Monday morning. The problem is almost never Microsoft - it is skipping the dry run, so we copy every old mailbox across in the background first and check folders, contacts and calendar entries against the source before touching the mail record. For offices around Bhabla Bazar we make the switch on a Saturday evening, and an engineer stays on the phone with you through Monday.

✅ Who Installs Microsoft Microsoft 365 Licences, Setup & Email Migration and Looks After It anywhere in Kolkata

Engineer in Bhabla Bazar watching a mailbox migration progress bar fill on a laptop screen

The mail server sits in a cupboard behind the accounts room, and everyone in the office knows the sound it makes when the power flickers. Small companies across Kolkata ran their own mail for years because there was no sensible alternative; there is one now, and it needs no UPS, no antivirus renewal and nobody to restart it on a Sunday. Moving those mailboxes into Microsoft's cloud takes a weekend and keeps every old message, contact and calendar entry. The cupboard machine stays readable for a fortnight afterwards, just in case.

A new joiner starts on Monday and is still without email on Wednesday because nobody is quite sure who creates accounts. When a tenant is built with proper groups and roles, adding a person takes five minutes and mail, files, Teams and folder access all arrive together. Removing somebody is just as quick, which matters more than most owners expect until the day it does. Offices near Bhabla Bazar tend to notice this change before they notice anything else.

🧠 What Changes in the First Month with a growing team

Auditors ask awkward questions about mail from three years ago, and 'the employee took his laptop' is not an answer that survives the meeting. How far back you can search is decided by retention and archive settings, and those need choosing at setup rather than after the request arrives. For CA firms in Kolkata, and for anyone getting ready for the data protection rules now coming in (DPDP Act), we place holds on the mailboxes that matter and write down what is kept and for how long. Nobody enjoys this conversation, but it is far cheaper before than after.

A tenant is not something you build once and walk away from - people join, Microsoft changes a default, a policy quietly starts blocking something that worked last month. We stay on afterwards: adding and removing users, watching the security dashboard, reviewing licence counts before the renewal date rather than on it. You deal with someone who already knows your setup instead of explaining it again to a new ticket. Plenty of businesses keep us on for that reason alone.

Ex-Employee Mailboxes Kept for Audit at a CA Firm

A logistics startup in Kolkata had grown into three area names, one from the original brand, one for the new one and one bought for a service they no longer offer. Mail was arriving on all three from three different providers, with staff quietly forwarding things to themselves to keep up. We consolidated everything into a single tenant with one address book, kept all three domains delivering so no customer's old address broke, and authenticated each of them properly. New staff now get one address on the current brand and nobody forwards anything anywhere.

Admin credentials belong to you, not to us. At handover the global admin account, the recovery details and the emergency account are written down and passed to a director, in a sealed envelope or a password manager entry, whichever you prefer. If you later change partners, nothing has to be prised out of anyone's hands.

What a support arrangement with us usually covers:

▪Licence Supply, Renewals and GST Invoicing in Rupees

▪Setting Up Your Company's Own Microsoft 365 Tenant

▪Moving Old Email with Folders and Contacts Intact

▪Company Phone and Laptop Controls with Intune

*Reminder: Mailbox backup is a separate paid product; a Microsoft 365 subscription on its own is not a backup of your email or your files.*

💡 Engineering Fact: A mailbox stores mail and needs a licence. An alias is just a second address into the same mailbox and costs nothing. A distribution list stores nothing at all - it copies incoming mail to a group. Picking the wrong one is how firms overpay for years.

Plan Our Shared Drive →

🏷️ Full Range with Honest Comparisons in and around Bhabla Bazar

Here is what each plan includes, what it asks of you, and where the limits sit:

Microsoft 365 Business Standard - Installed Office Apps, Email and Teams

For office teams who need Word and Excel installed on the laptop, company email on every phone, and one place to keep files. This is where most small and mid-sized firms land.

🔹 WHAT YOU GET

Email on your own area, the shared cloud drive, Teams chat and meetings, and Office installed on the machine rather than only in a browser tab.

🔹 WHAT IT DOESN'T INCLUDE

Full management of Windows laptops, app protection policies and BitLocker key backup (Intune), plus attachment sandboxing and sign-in restriction rules - all of that sits in the Premium plan. Enrolled phones can still be wiped from here using the free mobile controls built into this plan (Basic Mobility and Security).

🔹 DESKTOP OFFICE APPS

Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote on up to five computers per person, along with five tablets and five phones.

Microsoft 365 Business Premium - Standard Plus Security and Device Control

For firms holding client money, patient records or drawings, where one stolen laptop is a real problem. Everything in Standard, with device control and tougher sign-in rules layered on.

🔹 SIGN-IN RULES

Block logins from countries you never trade with or from machines you do not manage, and demand the second check only where it earns its keep (Entra ID P1 Conditional Access).

🔹 WHO IT'S FOR

CA firms, clinics, exporters, and any office where staff carry customer data around on a laptop.

🔹 SETUP TIME

Licences apply instantly, but we roll the security policies out over a week or two in groups so nobody arrives on Monday locked out.

Exchange Online Plan 1 and Plan 2 - Company Email on Its Own

For teams that already own Office or spend the day inside Tally, and only want a reliable inbox on the company area. Mail, calendar and contacts, without paying for apps nobody opens.

🔹 SETUP TIME

Area checks and the mail record changeover usually happen in one evening, followed by a settling day while DNS spreads.

🔹 WHAT YOU GET

Mail, calendar, contacts and shared calendars on your own area, syncing to Outlook, phones and any browser.

🔹 SHARED ADDRESSES

Accounts@ and sales@ sit beside the paid mailboxes without needing licences of their own.

Moving the Shared Office Drive into SharePoint and OneDrive

For offices still passing files around on a server in the corner, a NAS box, pen drives or WhatsApp. We lift the folders into the cloud with the structure and the permissions intact.

🔹 TRAINING

A short hands-on session per department, because the migration that fails is the one where staff quietly go back to emailing attachments.

🔹 NOTHING LEFT BEHIND

File dates, folder paths and version history come across, and a comparison report at the end lets you see the counts line up.

🔹 HOW LONG IT TAKES

Down to data size and upload speed - a few hundred GB on an ordinary office line runs over several nights.

Microsoft 365 Business Basic - Webmail for Shift and Shop-Floor Staff

The entry plan for giving every employee a proper company address without buying installed Office for people who will never open Excel. Runs in a browser and on the phone.

🔹 SETUP TIME

Adding Basic users to a tenant whose area is already verified is a same-hour job.

🔹 WHO IT'S FOR

Shift supervisors, drivers, warehouse hands, site engineers and trainees who need an inbox and a Teams message, nothing more.

🔹 DESKTOP OFFICE APPS

Not included. Files open and edit in a browser tab or the mobile apps, which covers reading, approving and light changes.

Teams Calling and Meeting Room Setup (Phone System)

For firms who want the reception line, the desk phones and the boardroom screen running through Teams instead of a separate PBX box. Calls follow the person to laptop or mobile.

🔹 WHO IT'S FOR

Offices nursing an ageing EPABX, retail chains across several branches, and support desks that need calls reaching staff working from home.

🔹 BEFORE YOU COMMIT

Call quality is an internet question, not a Microsoft one. We test the office link and the backup line around Bhabla Bazar before anyone signs anything.

🔹 WHAT IT DOESN'T INCLUDE

Calling is licensed on top of Business Standard or Premium, and the minutes come from your telecom provider rather than from the licence.

Device Management and Lost-Phone Control (Microsoft Intune)

For firms worried about what walks out of the building on a staff phone or laptop. Company data can be removed from a missing device without touching the owner's photos.

🔹 NEW LAPTOP SETUP

A machine can be couriered straight to a branch, unboxed by whoever is there, and configure itself to your settings on first sign-in (Autopilot).

🔹 RULES YOU CAN SET

Screen lock and PIN compulsory, copying out of work apps blocked, and company mail refused on a rooted or jailbroken phone.

🔹 IF A PHONE IS LOST

You raise it from a browser and the company mail, files and Teams data are cleared from that handset the moment it next touches a network.

Desktop Office Licensing for Larger Firms (Microsoft 365 Apps)

Installed Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook for organisations that have outgrown the small-business plans or already run their email somewhere else. No ceiling on user count.

🔹 WHAT IT DOESN'T INCLUDE

There is no mailbox here. Email either stays where it is or gets bought as a separate Exchange Online plan.

🔹 AUDIT PAPERWORK

Clean records of exactly who is licensed, which is the question that surfaces when a bank, an auditor or a large customer reviews your systems.

🔹 ROLLOUT

Installs can be pushed to machines over the network rather than walking desk to desk, once the package and update channel are agreed.

Ongoing Microsoft 365 Support and Licence Management (Monthly Retainer)

Somebody to call when a new joiner needs an address by 9am or a director cannot sign in before a flight. We look after the tenant month to month so it stops drifting.

🔹 WHAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY RING ABOUT

A phone left in a taxi, a mail that bounced, a shared calendar nobody can open, a folder deleted at 6pm on Friday.

🔹 WHO IT'S FOR

Firms with no in-house IT person, and firms whose IT person should not be spending Monday morning resetting passwords.

🔹 SECURITY REVIEW

A standing check of admin accounts, odd sign-in alerts, forwarding rules nobody remembers creating, and how many staff still have no second login check.

💡 Advice We Give Before Anyone Buys after years of site visits

The mistake I see most often is somebody switching their area policy straight to reject because a checklist told them to. Do that before you have watched the reports and your own mail starts bouncing - the accounting software that emails statements, the copier that scans to email, the marketing platform you forgot about. I run it at monitoring only for a fortnight, collect the list of everything genuinely sending in your name, fix each one, and only then tighten it. The end result is the same; the difference is nobody loses a week of invoices.

A one-time buy of Office still exists and for a single machine that never changes it is cheaper over five years. It gives you no email, no shared drive, no phone or tablet rights, and no way to move the licence when the machine dies. The subscription is not better software so much as a different arrangement - installation on several devices per person, and mail, files and security in the same bill.

Doing the migration in-house is entirely possible if you have somebody patient and a quiet weekend. Where it usually comes apart is the parts that are invisible until they fail: the time-to-live on the records, the record that reconfigures phones by itself, the devices still sending mail through old methods. Bringing somebody in mostly buys you the list of things you would not have known to check.

💡 Engineering Fact: Your tenant is your own private space inside Microsoft's cloud, and your area belongs to you whoever set it up. If a former vendor is sitting on the admin account, control can be recovered by proving you own the area.

WHERE IT SHINES - FOR BUYERS

ONGOING EFFORT NEEDED - A QUICK LIST

✓Somebody forgetting their password at 8am can reset it themselves instead of ringing around for help (self-service reset).

—Encryption on a document does not stop someone photographing the screen or reading the contents down the phone.

✓Company email on every phone and laptop, 50 GB per person, with Microsoft's own uptime commitment behind it (Exchange Online).

—Outlook 2013 and older will not connect, so a few desktops need the newer version installed before the move.

✓Files carrying bank details or customer data can be stopped from leaving by mail automatically (data loss prevention).

—Left alone, a tenant drifts within a year - old accounts stay live, guest access piles up, policies fall out of date.

✓Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint install properly on up to five devices per person, not just in a browser.

—Staff need a short walkthrough, or they will carry on sending files over WhatsApp and never open Teams at all.

✓Meetings, department chat and file sharing sit in one place, which is how WhatsApp finally gets retired (Teams).

—Guest sharing in Teams and SharePoint starts open and has to be tightened deliberately, or documents wander off quietly.

💡 Engineering Fact: The invoice fraud that hits exporters and traders rarely involves any hacking. Someone registers a area one letter off yours, watches the thread, then sends your buyer fresh bank details at exactly the right moment. Area records plus a phone call to confirm account changes end it.

The final switch happens out of hours, a Saturday night or a Sunday morning, with the routing changed and a live test mail sent before we stop for the night.

⚠️ Pitfalls to Avoid

Switching the area's anti-forgery policy to full reject on day one will bounce your own newsletters and your accounting software; publish it loose, read the reports, then tighten.

🔌 Guidelines & Sizing

Budget the renewal now rather than next year, since licences are an annual line item like insurance and the count usually creeps upward as you hire.

📈 Upgrade Triggers

Someone in accounts receives a mail that appears to come from the director, asking for an urgent transfer.

📋 What the Numbers Mean for Your Office for small teams

What we take on is worth pinning down before anyone talks about price. This service suits companies of roughly five to three hundred users who want proper company email, a shared drive and Teams, set up once and properly. Microtech Solutions handles the licence choice, the tenant, the area records, the mailbox and file move, the device and security settings, and the walkthrough with your staff at the end. Businesses in Bhabla Bazar get the same running order at eight seats as at two hundred.

The plan tiers matter more than most buyers are told. Business Basic gives mail, the shared drive and Teams with the apps in a browser; Standard adds Word, Excel and Outlook installed on the machine; Premium adds the security and device controls on top of that. Different people in the same company usually need different ones, and you can mix them freely on one bill. We recommend the mix in writing before anything is ordered so you can see the reasoning.

🏆 CORE PARAMETER🔹 Uptime commitmentMicrosoft's 99.9% availability promise, backed by service credits

🔹 Two-step sign-inA prompt or code on the phone, so a password picked off a fake login page is not enough by itself

🔹 Meetings and callingVideo meetings for up to 300 people; desk-phone numbers through Teams as an add-on

🔹 Shared office drive1TB of personal cloud space each, plus department libraries the whole team can reach

🔹 Mailbox size50GB per person on most plans, 100GB plus an expanding archive on the larger email plan

🔹 Billed asPer user, monthly or yearly, in rupees on a GST invoice from {COMPANY}

The Microsoft Service Promise and Its Fine Print

There are three plans most Indian businesses choose between. Business Basic covers mail, files and Teams with the Office apps running in a browser. Business Standard adds the full applications installed on desktops, laptops and phones. Business Premium adds the security and device controls: protection against fake invoices and links that lead somewhere they should not, plus full management of company laptops and staff handsets.

Exchange Online is the mail half, and it is the reason most companies move. Each user gets a large mailbox that keeps in step across a laptop, a phone and a browser, so a message read on the way home is already read when you sit down. Shared team calendars, one company address book and generic addresses like info@ or accounts@ that several staff work from are all part of it, and the general addresses need no licence of their own.

🧰 Data Migration & Cutover - What to Expect near Bhabla Bazar

🔹Schedule the actual switch for a Friday evening or the start of a long weekend in Bhabla Bazar - never a Monday, and never the last three days of a month when invoicing is running.
🔹Roll the second login check out to a small pilot group first, keep one emergency administrator account outside the policy, and only then extend it to the rest of the company.
🔹Tell staff in writing, the day before, that they will be asked to sign in once more and approve a prompt on their phone; the support calls you avoid by sending that one message are considerable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Someone sent a fake invoice pretending to be our director. Can this stop that?

That exact trick, forging mail from your own area, is what a strict DMARC policy shuts down, and it is one of the first things we set. Once your area instructs receiving servers to reject anything not sent from your approved systems, a fraudster can no longer put your director's real address in the From line and have it delivered. What no setting can prevent is a lookalike area with one letter changed, so we also turn on the external-sender warning banner and add rules that flag mail claiming to come from your senior staff. Tell your accounts team to pick up the phone before acting on any change of bank details, whatever the email looks like.

Q. Can staff use this on their own phones, and can we wipe it if a phone is lost?

Yes to both, with one honest caveat about what wiping means on a personal handset. The device controls in Business Premium keep company mail and files in a managed area on the phone, insist on a screen lock, and let us remove only the company side, leaving the owner's photos, WhatsApp and payment apps completely alone. Staff have to accept the enrolment, so tell them plainly what you can and cannot see, because saying it up front prevents a lot of bad feeling later. On a company-owned laptop or phone we can go further and erase the whole device.

Q. Do we still need a separate backup if everything is in Microsoft's cloud?

Yes, and this is the misunderstanding we correct most often. Microsoft's job is keeping the service running and the data centres alive; it is not keeping a copy of the folder your accountant deleted in March. Deleted items and old versions sit in recycle bins for a limited window and then they are genuinely gone, and ransomware that encrypts a synced OneDrive folder will cheerfully sync the damage upward. A separate cloud-to-cloud backup takes its own copy of mailboxes, OneDrive and SharePoint on its own schedule, and it is an additional per-user subscription, which for most businesses is money well spent.

Q. How do you handle the huge PST archive files sitting on people's laptops?

We collect them and load them into online archive mailboxes, so the mail becomes searchable from any device instead of being stranded on one machine. PST files are the most fragile part of any old email setup: they corrupt, they get copied onto pen drives, and they vanish along with the laptop. Loading years of archive eats time and bandwidth, so we normally run it after cutover rather than letting it hold up the go-live date. Bear in mind that very large archives need a higher licence level, which occasionally changes what we recommend for two or three long-serving staff.

Q. What happens to an employee's mailbox after they resign - do we keep paying for it?

Not if it is handled properly. We block the login, sign the account out of every device it was signed into, and turn the mailbox into a shared mailbox, which keeps every old message searchable without a paid licence attached to it. Their manager or replacement can then be given access to answer whatever still arrives at that address. Two limits are worth knowing: a shared mailbox has a size ceiling, and if the account must be preserved for a legal case or an audit hold, it does have to stay licensed, which is a genuine ongoing cost you should decide on rather than discover.

💡 Engineering Fact: Sending a 30MB attachment to twelve people creates thirteen copies and often bounces at the far end anyway. A link to the file in the shared drive is one copy, always the current one, and you can withdraw access later.
