Native Retention Settings

Box Governance allows admins to secure, preserve, and classify their content. (However, you'll need a Box
Enterprise account to get this add-on.) Users can set global or folder-based retention policies directly in the
platform. Users can also select predefined or custom retention schedules to ensure nothing gets lost. Once the
schedule is set, users can choose a “disposition action” or decide what happens to the content when the retention
time period is up. They can also choose who gets notified of these actions.
Dropbox doesn't have a way to set retention periods for live documents, but it does allow admins to save
deleted and previous versions of files for specific periods of time. During this time, admins can recover these
files. However, after the period of time is up, the deleted files are marked for permanent deletion and are purged
from Dropbox's storage servers. Once files have been permanently deleted, they can't be restored.

*It's important to note: Retention periods differ depending on the Dropbox plan you have.*

Dropbox Basic, Dropbox Family, and Dropbox Plus accounts have a 30-day retention period.

*It's important to note: Retention periods differ depending on the Dropbox plan you have.*

Dropbox Professional and Dropbox Business accounts have a 180-day retention period. You can also restrict
the end user from permanently deleting anything from your system.

Dropbox Business teams can get an Extended File Version History Add-On that can recover accidentally
deleted content and undo unwanted file changes, for up to 10 years

Custom Retention Rules for Gmail - You can set custom retention rules for a specfic period of time with certain
conditions. For Gmail, you can specify data by organizational unit, date ranges, and specific search terms.

Custom Retention Rules for Google Drive - You can specify retention rules by organizational unit and define
expiration based on last modified dates (to address staleness) and created dates (to address compliance
requirements), or trashed dates.
Custom Retention Rules for Google Hangouts - You can specify by organizational unit or for all rooms in the domain. You
can define expiration based on when messages were sent.

With retention policies for Teams, you can:

1. Retain Teams chats and/or channel messages for a specified duration and then do nothing.
2. Retain Teams chats and/or channel messages for a specified duration and then delete the data.
3. Delete Teams chats and/or channel messages after a specified duration.

Retention Limitations:

- Teams requires a retention policy that's separate from other workloads. In other words, you have to create specific
retention policies for Teams chats and/or channel messages. For this reason, you can't include Teams in org-wide
retention policies.

- Teams doesn't support advanced retention settings, such as the ability to apply a policy to content that contains
keywords or sensitive information. Currently, retention policies in Teams apply to all chat and/or channel message
content.

- Microsoft doesn't yet support configuration for retention of private channel messages, but files shared in private
channels are supported.

- A Teams retention policy will trigger a process to delete chat and channel messages when those messages expire
(based on message creation date). However, depending on service load, it may take up-to seven days to permanently
delete these messages from backend storage and Teams app. Also, these messages will be searchable with
compliance tools (eDiscovery, end user search) till they are permanently deleted from backend storage
Quip offers an add-on product, Quip Governance, that offers three helpful retention functionalities to Quip Admins:
Quip's data retention policies enable an admin to control how long data is retained within a Quip site. Using various
settings, admins can either retain content for a set amount of time prior to enabling users to delete it, or they can use
data retention rules to automatically remove stale content from their Quip site. The retention periods available are:
Indefinitely: If selected, the policy will prevent end users from deleting all content until the policy is retired. (Only
available for custom policies; not available for site-wide policies.)

Days after creation: The policy will be active for n days after a document was created. For example, if the time is set
to 30 days, the expiration action will take effect 30 days after the file was created.
Days after modification: The policy will be active for n days after a document was created. For example, if the time is
set to 30 days, the expiration action will take effect 30 days after the file was last modified. Modifications include
Quip actions such as editing, commenting, and new users accessing the document.

**Once a retention period expires, admins have three deletion actions to choose from:

1. Enable Users to Delete Content: Content cannot be permanently deleted until expiration happens. If users delete a
file, it will remain in trash until its retention period is up.

2. Move to trash: Content will be moved to trash after the retention period expires. After 30 days, all users will be
removed and the content will no longer be visible. Important to note: Content can be recovered via API if needed,
and unless "Retain content until expiration" is selected, documents can be permanently deleted by users.

3. Delete Immediately: The document is deleted *irrevocably* 30 days following when the retention policy expires.
Important to note: Unless "Retain content until expiration" is selected, documents can be permanently deleted by
users.

Zoom allows you to retain Zoom meeting recordings, transcripts of meetings, and chats. To retain this data, you need
a Pro, Business, or Enterprise account. Your account type will also dictate your storage capacity, however, you can
add on more storage at any time.

Other things to note:

- Admins can record and preserve the meetings of certain users, groups, or all members in their organization.
- Admins can control whether or not individual users or participants have the ability to store meeting recordings on
their own devices.
- If an admin chooses to preserve the meetings of all organization members, they can either be stored on their local
device or in Zoom’s Cloud.
-Admins need to enable IM Management to gain access to Zoom chat storage and archival.
- The default period for the cloud is 2 years and local devices in 1 year. Zoom chats can be stored up to 10 years max
and 1-day minimum after messages are received.
Native eDiscovery Method

Box Governance does a good job of preserving and collecting


information. It does have some limitations when it comes to its
data index, which inhibits processing and search.

Currently, Box indexes the first 10,000 characters of a document


which presents some difficulties around search accuracy and
indexing scanned documents, PDFs, or images. Another exception
to Box’s indexing is that it does not index previous versions of a
document, only the current version. Box partners with Onna to
help power more eDiscovery capabilities.
