2.What is Storage Optimizer?
The purpose of the Storage Optimizer application is to help identify the areas where storage usage could be optimized by archiving unused documents and cleaning up the document versions.
The application is implemented as a desktop application using .NET6. By default, .NET6 is supposed to be installed on the client’s machines, but if it’s missing (or an update is required), the installation package will download and install it in the background before installing the application.
The application requires Microsoft 365 account credentials to connect to Microsoft 365. During this process, it will register an application in the Entra ID (formerly called Azure Active Directory) with the necessary permissions. This account must have permission to enroll applications in the Entra ID.
You can learn more about the Entra ID, the applications, and permissions here.
The Storage Optimizer has a quick guide video covering the installation process, app startup and login procedures, as well as instructions on how to initiate the analysis on the Analyze page, followed by result checking on the Dashboard. The video is available on TECH-ARROW’s Youtube channel.
