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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Original Microsoft Microsoft 365 Licences, Setup & Email Migration Subscription & License Desk near Sinthee More

An accounts manager once told me the only way she could pay for her company's licences was her managing director's personal international card, and the receipt that came back was no use to her at GST filing time. That is an awkward position for any registered business. Buy through Microtech Solutions instead and the same Microsoft licences come billed in rupees, on a proper GST invoice, from a partner in Kolkata you can actually ring when something breaks. Add three people for the busy season and drop them after - we adjust the count and the bill follows.

Laptop on a desk showing a Teams video call with four people joined

A quotation you sent on Tuesday turns up in the customer's spam folder on Friday, by which time the order has gone somewhere else. Nine times out of ten the mail itself was fine and the area simply had nothing telling the receiving server it was genuine. Setting up Microsoft 365 properly means those records get written and tested before anyone switches over (SPF, DKIM and DMARC). Microtech Solutions does that as part of every tenant we build for businesses around Sinthee More.

Twenty people share one info@ login, everybody reads everything, and nobody can say who replied to the enquiry that came in at nine. Give each person their own account and turn the general address into a shared mailbox and the guessing stops, at no extra licence cost. Sent items sit in one place, replies carry a name, and a leaver's access can be removed without twenty people learning a new password. It is usually the first thing we fix.

🌟 Reasons This Works for Small Offices near Sinthee More

Software nobody was shown how to use gets quietly ignored, and six months later the team is back on WhatsApp. After go-live we sit with your staff for an hour or two: where files live now, how to open a shared calendar, what that new prompt on their phone means. The people who resist hardest are usually the ones who have used the same folder since 2011, and they come round the first time search finds something in two seconds. For rollouts around Sinthee More the walkthrough is part of the job, not an upsell.

It is nine at night, the director's phone has stopped pulling mail, and the help page suggests raising a ticket. Buying your licences through a partner in Kolkata means the person who built the tenant is the person who picks up. We hold the admin access, we know why each setting is there, and nobody needs a fifteen-minute explanation before work can start. That is most of what people mean when they say they want local support.

Right-Sizing Licence Tiers for a Trading Office in Kolkata

A CA firm lost access to three years of correspondence when two article assistants left within a month of each other and their mailboxes were simply deleted by the previous vendor. We rebuilt the practice on a proper tenant, set retention on the mailboxes that matter, and made departure a checklist: licence removed, mailbox converted to shared, access handed to the engagement partner. During the next audit season the team pulled up a 2022 thread in under a minute. Nothing about that is clever technology; it is just a decision made before it was needed.

🛡️ STAFF TRAINING AND ADOPTION SUPPORT

Cutover Night, Rollback and Keeping Mail Flowing

Licences are purchased and invoiced here in India, in rupees, against your company name with GST shown. Seats can be added when you hire and dropped at renewal, instead of arguing with a card payment on a website. We claim no special badge from Microsoft - what we offer is a local bill, a working setup, and a number that gets answered.

Here are the jobs clients ask for most often:

▪Setting Up Your Company's Own Microsoft 365 Tenant

▪Third-Party Mailbox Backup for Microsoft 365

▪Teams Rollout and Getting People Off WhatsApp

▪Exchange Online Migration from cPanel, Zimbra or Google Workspace

*Terms: Emergency call-outs, out-of-hours cutovers and weekend attendance carry their own charges, agreed with you in advance.*

💡 Engineering Fact: SPF and DKIM only check. DMARC is the instruction telling the world's mail servers what to do when a message claiming to be you fails those checks - and it posts you a regular report of who has been trying.

🔖 Available Options and Typical Fit for first-time buyers

These are the pieces we can supply, install and keep running for you:

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.

🔹 DESKTOP OFFICE APPS

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

🔹 SETUP TIME

A fresh tenant with your area verified is usually usable within a working day, with the old mail moving across in parallel.

🔹 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.

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.

🔹 DEVICE CONTROL

Company laptops and phones are enrolled, disks are encrypted by default, and a missing device can be cleared remotely (Intune and BitLocker).

🔹 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).

🔹 STOPPING DATA WALKING OUT

Mail carrying PAN, Aadhaar or bank account numbers can be flagged, blocked or encrypted on its way out the door (data loss prevention and sensitivity labels).

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.

🔹 WHAT YOU GET

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

🔹 MAILBOX SIZE

50GB on Plan 1. Plan 2 doubles the main mailbox to 100GB and adds an archive that keeps expanding as it fills up.

🔹 WHO IT'S FOR

Firms with a perpetual Office licence already installed, or staff whose entire computer use is email.

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.

🔹 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.

🔹 WORKING OFFLINE

Files still appear as a normal drive in File Explorer, keep working when the link drops, and catch up when it returns (OneDrive sync).

🔹 FOLDER STRUCTURE

Separate libraries for Accounts, HR, Sales, Projects and Management instead of one enormous Shared folder everybody tips things into.

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.

🔹 USER LIMIT

The small-business plans stop at a few hundred seats; beyond that we move you onto the enterprise line instead.

🔹 SETUP TIME

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

🔹 PHONE FIRST

Staff with no company laptop still get their mail, the staff directory and Teams on a personal Android handset.

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.

🔹 MEETING ROOMS

The conference room gets a camera, a screen and a console that joins the booked meeting with one tap, instead of ten minutes of cable hunting (Teams Rooms).

🔹 WHAT YOU GET

A real phone number inside Teams, with hold, transfer, ring groups, a menu for callers and voicemail dropped into the inbox (Teams Phone).

🔹 CALL REPORTING

Who rang, who missed it, how long people waited - the numbers a sales head actually asks about on Monday.

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.

🔹 PERSONAL PHONES

On a staff member's own device only the work apps are governed - nobody at the office can see their gallery, contacts or WhatsApp (app protection policies).

🔹 SETUP TIME

One working session to agree the policies, then devices enrolled in batches so the support calls stay manageable.

🔹 WHO IT'S FOR

Field sales teams, offices where staff use their own phones for work, and anyone who has already lost a laptop once.

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.

🔹 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.

🔹 BILLING

Per named person, not per machine. One employee with a desktop, a laptop and a home PC still needs a single seat.

🔹 WHAT YOU GET

The full installed apps on up to five computers per person, updating themselves quietly, with 1TB of personal cloud storage each.

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.

🔹 LICENCE RIGHT-SIZING

Each quarter we list who is paying for what, point out the seats nobody has signed into for months, and drop or downgrade them at renewal.

🔹 FIRST MONTH

We start with a health check of the tenant as it stands, so nothing inherited from the last vendor stays quietly broken.

🔹 JOINERS AND LEAVERS

New staff get a mailbox, the right licence and the right folder access on day one; leavers are cut off within the hour and their mailbox converted rather than binned.

📌 Capacity, Limits and Sizing Guide near Sinthee More

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.

Almost anything can be migrated from. We regularly move companies off free webmail on a personal address, hosting-company mailboxes bundled with a website, an old Exchange or Zimbra server sitting on site, Google Workspace, or an existing Microsoft tenant somebody else set up badly. What comes across is the mail itself with its folder structure, plus contacts, calendars and any shared calendars in use. What does not come across automatically gets listed for you in advance, so there are no surprises on the Monday.

Does Microsoft Keep a Deleted Mailbox Forever? No, It Does Not

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.

SharePoint and OneDrive replace the file server in the corner. Departments get their own areas with proper permissions, individuals get personal space that follows them between machines, and two people can work on the same spreadsheet at the same time without one overwriting the other. Every earlier version of a file stays recoverable for months, which turns an accidental save-over from a crisis into a two-minute fix.

⚠️ Pitfalls to Avoid

Changing the mail routing at eleven on a Tuesday morning is how a day of orders goes missing - the switch belongs to a quiet night.

🔌 Guidelines & Sizing

Decide separately whether you want a third-party backup for the mailboxes and the shared drive, because that is a different product with its own bill.

📈 Upgrade Triggers

Mail works on the laptop but not on the phone, or the other way round, and it is a fresh argument every week.

📌 Honest Pros and Cons From the Bench near Sinthee More

Rushing the routing change is what causes the horror stories. If the time-to-live on your records is still sitting at a day when you switch, mail keeps arriving at the old server for hours afterwards and you have no way to hurry it along. Lower that value two days ahead, switch outside business hours, and keep the old system accepting and forwarding until you can see a full day with nothing landing there. It is dull, and it is the difference between a quiet Monday and a very loud one.

Buying licences directly on a card gets you the same software at broadly the same price, so the question is what happens afterwards. You get a foreign-currency receipt, no local tax invoice, and a support process that begins with a web form. Through Microtech Solutions you get rupee billing with GST, seats you can change, and an engineer who already knows why your tenant is configured the way it is.

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.

💡 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.

📌 What Is Included and What Costs Extra near Sinthee More

Type of Business	What We Set Up	Typical Time Needed
CA and Law Firms	A mailbox per partner, client folders only the right team can open, and leavers' mail kept for audits	About a week for a 25-person practice
Retail Chains and Franchise Networks	Store mailboxes under one company area, central control of who sees what, supplier mail in one place	One to two weeks depending on store count
Clinics and Diagnostic Centres	Reception and doctor mailboxes, one shared reports inbox, and a phone prompt at every login	Three to four days, reception never stops

🖥️ What Happens When Everyone Logs In at Once near Sinthee More

A ten to thirty person office usually moves over one weekend, with mail flowing the whole time.

EVERYDAY WINS IN BRIEF

WHAT NEEDS SETTING UP FIRST IN ONE PLACE

✓Two people editing the same document merge their changes instead of creating final_final_v3.xlsx.

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

✓One username opens everything, and switching a leaver off takes a single click (Microsoft Entra ID).

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

✓No more pen drives and no more guessing which copy is the latest - department files in one place, 1 TB of personal space each (OneDrive and SharePoint).

—Multi-factor login means everybody must carry a phone they will actually use, and the first week brings grumbling.

✓Nobody starts the Monday staring at an empty inbox: the folder tree people built over a decade arrives exactly as they left it.

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

✓Attachments from people you have never dealt with get opened in a safe box first, and links are re-checked at the moment somebody clicks (Safe Links and Safe Attachments).

—Standard mailboxes stop at 50 GB and the archive is not unlimited on the lower plans; heavy users do hit the ceiling.

💡 Engineering Fact: accounts@ and sales@ do not need paid licences of their own, as long as each stays under 50GB and the people reading it are licensed. Firms routinely pay for four or five of these without ever realising it.

If you are handing this to your own IT person, work through the sequence as written - the order matters considerably more than any individual step.

⚙️ Installation & Setup - How It Works in Sinthee More

🔹Keep the old system live and delivering alongside the new one for the first few days, then leave it readable but switched off for a fortnight before anybody deletes a thing.
🔹Count and measure every mailbox before you promise a timeline; a twelve-year-old account with 40GB in it behaves nothing like a new joiner's, and that is what decides whether the move takes a night or a weekend.
🔹Put the sender records in first and in order - publish the permitted senders, then the signing keys, and only then start monitoring before you ever move to enforcement (SPF, then DKIM, then DMARC).

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. 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.

Q. 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.

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. 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.

Q. 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.

💡 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.
