SharePoint Storage is
Eating Your Budget

Most organizations overpay by 60-80% for storage they don't need

SharePoint Storage
$0.20
per GB / month
= $200/TB/month
VS
Azure Blob Archive
$0.002
per GB / month
= $2/TB/month
That's a 99% reduction on storage costs

Premium Pricing

$0.20/GB

Microsoft charges premium rates for SharePoint storage beyond your base allocation. At 10TB extra, that's $2,000/month.

Hidden Waste

60%+

Studies suggest 60%+ of SharePoint storage consists of old versions, stale content, and items in recycle bins that can be safely optimized.

Exponential Growth

25-30%/yr

Enterprise data grows 25-30% annually. Without action, your storage bill doubles every 3 years.

Everything You Need to
Optimize Storage Costs

Binary File Offloading

Automatically identify and offload binary files (ZIPs, videos, backups, installers) to Azure Blob Storage or AWS S3. Files remain accessible in SharePoint but cost 90% less. Simply configure which document libraries should be offloaded, set your file size thresholds and file type filters, and StorageOptimizer handles the rest. Your users continue working normally - they won't notice any difference except faster performance.

File offloading rules dashboard

Rule-Based Recycle Bin Cleanup

Automatically clean first and second-stage recycle bins across all sites using customizable policies. Set rules by file age, size, type, or site collection. Most organizations don't realize that deleted files continue consuming storage in recycle bins for 93 days by default. The dashboard shows you exactly how much storage is trapped in recycle bins and lets you create cleanup policies to reclaim that space automatically while respecting your compliance requirements.

Recycle bin cleanup dashboard

Version History Management

Reduce version history bloat with fully customizable policies. Keep last N versions, versions from last X days, or major versions only - all configurable per site or content type. Version history often accounts for 40-60% of total storage in active SharePoint environments. Create sophisticated policies as shown in the screenshot - apply different rules to different sites, content types, or libraries. Preview exactly what will be deleted before executing any cleanup.

Version management policies

Intelligent Prioritization

Smart algorithms score and prioritize optimization targets based on size, age, activity patterns, and ROI potential. Focus on high-impact opportunities first. The dashboard continuously crawls your SharePoint environment, analyzing every site, library, and file to identify where you'll get the biggest savings. See real-time progress as StorageOptimizer discovers optimization opportunities, with clear metrics on potential cost savings and storage reclamation across your entire tenant.

Crawl progress overview dashboard

Storage Analytics

Understand where your storage is going. Detailed reports by site, library, user, and file type. Identify top storage consumers. Drill down from tenant-level overviews into individual sites and libraries to see exactly what's consuming space. The detailed analytics shown in the screenshot reveal not just current storage, but also version history, recycle bin contents, and offloading potential for each library. Export reports for management or use them to guide your optimization strategy.

Site storage analytics and library details

Compliance Aware

Designed to respect retention policies. Configurable rules and preview modes help you maintain compliance before any cleanup operations. Configure external storage targets (Azure Blob Storage or AWS S3) with encryption, lifecycle policies, and access controls as shown in the configuration screen. Set up immutable storage for compliance requirements, define automatic archival schedules, and establish retention rules that align with your organization's governance policies. Every operation can be previewed before execution.

$3,000 → $800/month

Legal Services Firm

A 15 TB SharePoint environment paying $3,000/month in extra storage could reduce costs to around $800/month by archiving older case files to Azure Blob Storage. Projected annual savings: $26,400

Typical scenario: 15 TB environment

40% storage reclaimed

Education Institution

A 20 TB education tenant could reclaim up to 40% of storage (8 TB) just from version history cleanup alone. Old course materials and outdated documents often accumulate excessive versions.

Typical scenario: 20 TB environment

99% archive savings

Manufacturing Company

A 50 TB manufacturing environment with large CAD files and documentation could archive 30+ TB of cold data to Azure Blob at $0.002/GB vs $0.20/GB - a 99% cost reduction on archived content.

Typical scenario: 50 TB environment

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about CloudWerk StorageOptimizer? Find answers to the most common questions below.

Q. What is CloudWerk StorageOptimizer?

CloudWerk StorageOptimizer is a SaaS solution that helps organizations reduce SharePoint Online storage costs by cleaning up unnecessary files, managing versions, and offloading non-collaborative content to cheaper cloud storage like Azure Blob Storage.

Q. Is it safe? Will I lose data?

Absolutely safe. All operations are logged and reversible. Files are never deleted permanently - they're either moved to recycle bins (with extended retention) or offloaded to secure cloud storage where they remain accessible. The system is designed to respect your retention policies.

Q. How much can I actually save?

Savings typically range from 15-80% depending on your environment. Immediate savings of 15-30% come from cleanup and version management. Additional savings up to 80% are possible when archiving cold data to Azure Blob Storage. A typical 10 TB SharePoint environment could see significant reductions. Use our calculator to estimate your potential savings.

Q. Will users notice any difference?

For most operations, no. Cleaned up recycle bins and trimmed versions are transparent. For offloaded files, users see the files in SharePoint as normal, but there may be a slight delay (2-5 seconds) when accessing an archived file for the first time as it's retrieved from cloud storage.

Q. What types of files do you offload?

We focus on binary files that don't benefit from SharePoint's collaboration features: ZIP archives, video files, software installers, backup files, and large PDFs. These files remain accessible in SharePoint but are stored in cheaper Azure/AWS storage, reducing costs by up to 90%.

Q. Do I need Azure or AWS accounts?

Only if you want to offload content to cheaper storage. The cleanup and version management features work without any additional infrastructure. We can help you set up Azure Blob Storage if needed - it's straightforward and adds significant savings potential.
