Deprecation Notice for OneDrive as a Forensic Destination
This deprecation notice for customers who are using OneDrive as a forensic destination. If you have any queries, contact your Netskope customer success manager or support@netskope.com.
Summary of Change
Microsoft Terms of Service (ToS) no longer allows Netskope to offer OneDrive app as a data store for forensic. Due to this change, new customers, cannot use OneDrive as a forensic destination. Customers who are already using OneDrive as a forensics destination can continue to store their forensics data in OneDrive until further notice.
Fine Prints
Based on Microsoft's latest Terms of Service, Netskope can no longer support OneDrive as a forensic destination. Due to this, Netskope will not support this feature in any new commercial or federal Netskope DC. Fine prints:
For existing customers who are using OneDrive as a forensic destination, the feature will continue to work as expected.
For new customers, the instance setup UI for OneDrive will no longer have the forensic checkbox. New forensic OneDrive instances cannot be enabled.
For existing customers who have not enabled OneDrive as a forensic destination, cannot enable it going forward.
Existing customers using OneDrive as a forensic destination, can disable the forensic checkbox from the UI. However, once disabled, you cannot re-enable it.
General Recommendation
As an alternative, Netskope recommends to use a public cloud storage (like Azure Blob, AWS S3, or GCP Cloud Storage) as a forensic destination over a SaaS storage app. For more information, see Forensics.
