OneDrive deletions

[sloughman]

Hello hope someone can help.

 

We use OneDrive in O365 at our school. Students and staff use it as they would a memory stick to copy school work to, and then work from home etc. Nothing fancy. What I would like to know is if someone deletes a file, and then also deletes from the second recycle bin it's gone, is there a way to prevent this happening, or is a file recoverable somehow ? I have heard someone talk about 'hold' policies, but I'm not sure this is what is needed. If anyone can help I would be very grateful.

 

Thanks

Under Admin centers you will want to go to Security & Compliance and then under Data governance you can go to Retention and set Preservation policies that will keep files even if they are deleted.

Thanks, but I don't seem to have a Data Governance section under Security & Compliance , any ideas

 

Thanks?

Perfect. I have not figured out a way to bulk add users to the policy though so if you have a lot of users this might be a pain.
