You can certainly export some of the mailbox content to PST files, but that will open a nastier can of worms. PSTs are prone to corruption, insecure and generally speaking outlived, plus you loose on the whole concept of having a single repository. My advice would be to go for the Exchange Online plan 2 license, the $3 extra will hardly make a difference.

Thanks for the advice. &nbsp;Right now the users are running Microsoft 365 Business Standard. &nbsp;To get to Exchange Online 2 I would have to go to Office 365 E3, is that what you're seeing as well.<br><br>I don't have a problem bringing that to the client as it will make my life easier as well. &nbsp;I just want to get my ducks in a row first.<br><br>Thanks again!<br><br>

Hey all-<br />
<br />
I'm hoping someone here could shed some light. &nbsp;I have several users that are using Office 365 and Microsoft Hosted Email.<br />
<br />
The archive size is limited to 50GB and unfortunately, I have a lot of squirrels that I manage. &nbsp;Does anyone know if I can archive mailboxes to the local machines as opposed to Microsoft's cloud? &nbsp;I only have a few users that I need to address this with, so I would rather not have to upgrade all 55 users to the package that allows for 150GB archives, as opposed to 50GB.<br />
<br />
Thanks!
