Storage Reports
Storage Reports provide information on your tenant-wide storage consumption.
In this article, you can locate information on:
Use the Storage Metrics report to view your tenant-wide storage consumption and determine if you're at risk of running out of storage, the Site Storage Metrics report to gain insight into the storage used by a particular site and identify any potentially unusual spikes, and the File Storage Details report to view all of the versions of your selected file with the most important information about each version.
Please note! You can save custom views for your reports based on your needs and preferences. For more details on this, take a look at the Save Custom Views article.

Please note: If the Last Activity column is empty for a workspace, it means that the last activity for that workspace was performed before Syskit Point was deployed. Additionally, the activity is older than the Microsoft 365 audit logs retention period and can no longer be collected and processed by Syskit Point.
Storage data for workspaces is collected from the date of your initial Syskit Point deployment.
If your Point was deployed before the Storage Management feature integration, the data is collected from the date you update your Syskit Point version to the one that contains the Storage Management feature.
