Why SharePoint storage becomes a cost trap

 Every IT admin knows the problem: The costs of additional SharePoint storage costs are too high. 

Green icon of a exclamation mark on star-shaped background
Inactive data billed like active data
SharePoint charges the same rate for files nobody has opened in 3 years. Every unused version, every forgotten project folder—billed at full price.
Green integration icon
Microsoft's own archive is limited
Microsoft 365 Archive has no immediate restore. Up to 24-hours restore delays, up to 4-month re-archiving delays, and far less control over policies.

Manual cleanup doesn't scale
Asking teams to clean up their files never works at scale. It's unreliable, time-consuming, and always falls back on IT.
Green file icon
Versioning silently inflates storage consumption
Edits often create a new version. A 10 MB file with 50 versions takes up 500 MB. Multiply that across your entire organization.

"ShArc has done what Microsoft clearly refused to do. Utilizing a cheaper cold storage approach as a backend for live active SharePoint sites is perfect! End users don't see a change but data storage costs are kept in control. Its an ingenious solution to a problem all SharePoint admins face."
