blog really. The great thing is that all of the stuff I normally blog about is pretty easy to integrate into CIPP

folders/files in advance, Veronique lays out the entire process using PowerShell PnP in this blog post.

deletion of OneDrive documents found in the searches. While you can remove email using a content search action, Office 365 doesn't includ e a method to cleanup OneDrive documents found by content searches....

First, let's connect to SharePoint Online.

you to redirect common (well-known) folders from your PC to OneDrive so that anything created in Documents, Pictures, and the desktop is automatically saved in your OneDrive for Business account. Generally, everything works well, and I have been very happy. Except until the time came to update the Azure Active Directory preview module from 2.0.2.77 to 2.0.2.89.

Business sync client through the SharePoint Online admin center, PowerShell, or GPO. A change in the client now exposes the excluded file types to user view for the first time. Meantime, the OneDrive Personal client also gains support for file type exclusions.

which simply allows you to redirect any local folder (including variable paths!) to any location in a user's Onedrive folder.

can always get it back. I use it for almost everything. Even for my PowerShell projects, which are committed to GitHub, so in theory, I shouldn't need that. But every once in a while, I make some stupid mistake and delete a file that has yet not been committed to GitHub, and that's where the OneDrive comes in handy. Quick restore, and we're back. Unfortunately, sometimes things aren't as I would expect them to work. For example, let's have a look at this nice list of markdown files that are documentation for my module called GPOZaurr.

the cmdlets from the SharePoint Online management module. But accessing OneDrive usage data via the Graph is much faster. And you can include information from other sources, such as user properties, to build out the report. All explained here.

usually involved some gyrations. Then Microsoft updated the Get-SPOSite cmdlet with the IncludePersonalSite switch and things became easier. For instance, a reader asked if it was possible to generate a report listing all the OneDrive for Business sites in a tenant with the storage allocated and used for each site. No problem, we thought, as we scanned the internet to see if people had already solved the problem. As it happens, several example scripts are available, but we ended up writing our own because it was possible to simplify the code . We also store the output in a CSV file as it's a very flexible format for reporting or further analysis (like importing into Power BI).

right-click to download everything. The only downside was that the site collection contained around 250 GB of content.
