Overview
Keep active work on Drive/SharePoint and move cold/large files to low‑cost object storage.
Problem
Primary drives fill up or incur high egress; large files slow down previews and sync.
Solution
File-Vault storage policy routes by app/object/size/age and uses signed URLs for archive retrieval.
How it works
Define a Primary provider and an Archive provider (S3/R2). Configure rules to move files older than N days or larger than X MB with seamless signed retrieval.
