Hi,
I have been using the PST import feature from Office 365 for last 14 months.
Have managed to ingest about 12 TB of PST !!!
Earlier, one was able to delete the PST’s upon completion from the Blob storage but now not possible.
The keys are changed, now it uses SAS tokens. The tokens has expiry date.
As per Microsoft, the completed JOBS and PST’s will be deleted after 90 days.
