Maximize Storage Savings with SharePoint Online Stubbing: A Game Changer for Your Organization

As businesses increasingly adopt SharePoint Online as their go-to collaboration and document management platform, managing storage efficiently has become a top priority. One key feature that can significantly reduce storage costs while enhancing performance is SharePoint Online stubbing.

At Data Icon, we understand that as your organization grows, so do the volumes of data stored in SharePoint. Traditional approaches to document management can quickly become expensive, with soaring storage costs and performance slowdowns as data accumulates. That's where SharePoint Online stubbing comes in.

What is SharePoint Online Stubbing?

Stubbing is a technique where large files, such as videos or high-resolution documents, are stored externally (in an archive) while a lightweight "stub" or reference remains in SharePoint. This stub links to the original file, allowing users to access and download it on demand, while keeping SharePoint's storage footprint minimal. This is particularly valuable for businesses that need to retain large volumes of data for compliance or operational purposes but don’t require constant access to every file.

How Does Stubbing Help with Storage Savings?

SharePoint Online’s native storage limits can quickly fill up, especially when dealing with heavy documents, media files, or historical data. By leveraging stubbing, organizations can:

1. Free Up Space: Store less critical files off-site or in an external archive while maintaining the structure and links in SharePoint. This reduces the storage burden on SharePoint Online and helps you stay within your storage limits.

2. Reduce Costs: Cloud storage can be expensive, particularly when scaling up to accommodate large files. Stubbing minimizes the need for additional storage, ultimately cutting down costs related to data storage.

3. Improve Performance: With fewer large files directly in SharePoint Online, you’ll experience better performance, faster load times, and more responsive collaboration.

4. Streamline Compliance: Even though files are archived externally, the stubbing technique ensures that data is still accessible and retrievable, helping businesses comply with retention policies without consuming precious SharePoint storage.
