StorageScout audits your SharePoint and OneDrive in minutes — idle add-on, version-history and recycle-bin bloat, stale sites — and shows exactly how much add-on storage spend you can stop paying for, in dollars. It also lists every departed-user OneDrive before Microsoft archives it (day 93) or deletes it (day 365). Read-only. Runs in your tenant. Nothing ever leaves it.
Native reports show usage. StorageScout turns it into money and a plan — the add-on you can drop, priced against your rate, and the OneDrive decisions due before day 93, client-ready.
Site storage used vs your pooled allowance vs add-on purchased — how far over you are, and how much add-on is already idle, in GB and dollars.
OneDrives of deleted, unlicensed and disabled users — sized and listed before day 93, when Microsoft archives them ($0.05/GB/mo once billing is on), and day 365, when it deletes them.
Excess file-version history across libraries — reclaimable in place by trimming.
First- and second-stage recycle bins holding GB you've already "deleted".
Sites with no activity in N months — archive candidates you can offload.
Sites approaching their limit — fix them before uploads start failing.
One number up top, the evidence below, a remediation checklist at the end. White-label it with your own name on the Pro tier.
No SaaS sign-up, no tenant connection to a third party. You run it; the report stays with you.
Run the PowerShell script. It signs in to Microsoft Graph with read-only scopes you consent to. StorageScout has no servers — nothing is sent anywhere.
It reads your SharePoint and OneDrive usage reports, finds reclaimable storage, applies your add-on price, and computes recoverable spend.
Open the HTML report + CSVs, work the remediation checklist, reclaim storage, and drop your add-on at renewal. Re-run monthly.
Buy it once, own it. Reclaiming a single wasted terabyte (~$200/mo) pays for the Pro tier in its first month.
Instant download after checkout (Lemon Squeezy). One-time price, no subscription.
No. StorageScout is a script that runs inside your tenant against Microsoft Graph. There is no StorageScout server and nothing is uploaded. The report is written to your own machine.
Read-only Microsoft Graph scopes, chiefly Reports.Read.All (for SharePoint/OneDrive usage) plus Sites.Read.All, User.Read.All, Organization.Read.All and Directory.Read.All. You consent at run time. It never writes changes.
It is the add-on storage you can stop buying: any add-on already idle (bought above your actual overage) plus what trimming version history and emptying recycle bins frees — never more than you buy today — multiplied by your add-on price. Conservative by design.
Because OneDrive is per-user storage outside the SharePoint pool — deleting one doesn't lower your add-on bill. They matter for a different reason: Microsoft archives unlicensed OneDrives at day 93 and deletes them at day 365, or bills $0.05/GB/month on all of them once pay-as-you-go billing is enabled. StorageScout lists each one with its size so you can relicense, move or delete before day 93.
Never. It is strictly read-only and produces a report plus a remediation checklist. You decide what to action — and should always respect retention/legal hold before reclaiming.
To pull tenant-wide usage reports you need reporting rights (Reports.Read.All — a Global Reader or Reports Reader can consent). Without them StorageScout still runs, but with a limited view, and tells you so.
Yes — the Pro tier is licensed for unlimited client tenants and white-labels the report with your brand, built for consultants and MSPs.
