Your SharePoint is full of files nobody opens.
And you’re paying Microsoft a fortune to keep them.
ArchiveBridge moves them to object storage at an all‑in cost up to 83% lower—a free read-only scan shows your exact number in minutes.
Claim basis: US$34/TB/mo all-in vs US$204.80/TB/mo SharePoint extra storage (US$0.20/GB × 1,024), ex tax—83.4% lower. Rates vary by agreement; enter yours in the calculator.
US$0.20/GB/mo Microsoft list rate over pooled allocation, ex tax — type your real rate.
Microsoft charges about US$0.20 per GB a month, before tax, once you pass your allocation. Most of those files were last touched in 2021.
You can’t buy less Microsoft. You can’t ask users to delete things—they panic. And Microsoft’s own archive tier is just paying Microsoft again to cold-store your own files.
Raw-storage comparison only (excludes ArchiveBridge management): 1 TB of cold data ≈ US$205/mo on SharePoint vs ≈ US$10/mo on object storage—about 20× cheaper.

The whole process is four steps.
Scan — read-only
Grant Microsoft 365 admin consent to two read-only permissions — Sites.Read.All and Organization.Read.All — no write, no delete; an automated scan returns exactly what's reclaimable, in GB and dollars. The app that can archive is a separate registration, consented later, only if you proceed.
Copy & verify
Each file is copied to your own S3-compatible object storage, then SHA-256 hashed. If the hash doesn't match, we stop and the original is never touched.
Stub & reclaim
Only after verification is the original removed from SharePoint — retained in your bucket, with a clickable HTML page left in its place. Anyone who opens it gets a one-click Restore button — no IT ticket.
Restore
Users restore from the stub's button; IT can restore from the console; or surface everything as a normal drive via CentreStack. Reversible for as long as you keep the file.
Every file leaves a forwarding address.
This is what a user sees after a file is archived.
Before
ArchiveBridge
→ verified removal from SharePoint
→ HTML restore page written
After
A clickable HTML page sits where the file was, carrying the original name with .html added. Open it and hit Restore. One click, no IT ticket. Or surface everything as a mapped drive via CentreStack, as if nothing changed.
Files under retention labels or legal hold are skipped and quarantined—never touched.

Move the sliders to your numbers. No sign-up and no sales call, just the maths, the way your CFO will want to see it. When you’re ready, a real read-only scan returns the exact figures for your tenant.

What the console looks like.
Screenshots and narrated tours from a live ArchiveBridge console, using a demonstration tenant and fictitious company names.
We delete nothing we haven’t verified.
We request only the permissions you grant through Microsoft 365 admin consent—least-privilege, app-only Graph access, no stored user credentials. Secrets are encrypted through a database-backed, certificate-protected keyring; transit is TLS 1.2+; storage is your dedicated or bring-your-own bucket. Every action is written to an exportable audit log.
Two separate Entra apps. Two separate consents.
To scan, you consent to a read-only Entra application holding two read-only scopes—Sites.Read.All to read what is reclaimable and Organization.Read.All to read your licensed seat count, which sizes your storage allowance. No write, no delete: the Microsoft admin-consent screen shows exactly those two. A second, independent app with write access is introduced only when you choose to archive. You can verify both registrations in your own Entra admin center at any time. ArchiveBridge cannot archive a tenant that has only granted read.
Regional processing: Sydney, Virginia or Thailand, chosen at onboarding. Managed storage defaults to the nearest Wasabi region — Sydney, Virginia, or Singapore for Thailand, because Wasabi operates no Thai region. Control plane and metadata stay in Australia.
Works for your team—or for your clients.
Run it yourself. No partner required.
Connect your Microsoft 365 tenant, point it at your own storage bucket, and choose which SharePoint sites to archive—all from a self-service console built for a single company.
Manage every client from one console.
Your clients see your brand—one login across all your client tenants, with the client-facing view white-labelled end to end.
Consent-first onboarding, and reporting broken out per tenant.
You don’t have to take our word for any of it.
The full path—read-only scan, SHA-256-verified copy to your bucket, verified removal from SharePoint, HTML restore stub, one-click restore—runs end to end in production today.
It runs on infrastructure that was audited long before we got here—compute on RackCorp’s ISO 27001-certified infrastructure, objects in Wasabi (ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II data centres). Covered today: SharePoint Online. OneDrive and Teams files are on the roadmap.
SHA-256 before delete
Every byte is confirmed in object storage before a single original is removed, and the audit log records each hash. One mismatch halts the job and names the file.
Always reversible — one click
The log records the stub write: a clickable HTML restore page sits in SharePoint where the file was. Anyone with access brings it back in one click, and IT can restore from the console.
Holds are skipped — and logged
A file under a retention label or legal hold is excluded from the job — the audit log records the skip and the reason.
The read-only app cannot write
Check both registrations in your own Entra admin center: the scan app holds two read-only scopes — no write, no delete. A separate app with write access exists only if you choose to archive.
Log lines are audit.log excerpts from the same live demonstration tenant — append-only, exportable. The scopes on card 04 are the exact strings on the Microsoft consent screen.
Stop paying Microsoft to archive your past.
One read-only scan shows the exact volume, and the estimated dollars, before a single file moves.
Sign up, grant read-only consent, and get your actual GB and dollar figure—automated, no sales call. Nothing leaves your tenant until you explicitly start an archive, and every archived file stays restorable for as long as it remains in your storage bucket.
