What is this, in plain English?

A one-off remote service that turns scattered cloud storage into a governed shared estate: drives owned by the business, a written permission matrix, files moved out of individual people’s personal accounts, desktop sync configured, and external sharing brought under a rule. It applies to storage on a subscription you already hold.

Most cloud storage grows by accident: a folder here, a link shared with anyone who has it there, and the company’s important documents sitting in the personal drive of whoever created them. This engagement fixes ownership first, moving files into drives the business owns, then applies an agreed permission matrix per drive and puts external sharing behind a rule with link expiry. It assumes the accounts and policies already exist, which is Cloud Workspace Setup, and it stops short of templates and filing conventions, which are Business Productivity Suite Setup.

The problem it solves

Company documents live in individual people’s personal drives, so when someone leaves the files leave with them, and nobody can say which folders are currently shared with the outside world.

If that does not describe you, this is probably the wrong product. Tell us and we will point you at a better fit rather than sell you the nearest one.

What you get

The concrete things that exist at the end and that you own.

What does it do?

Everything listed here is delivered as part of this product. Nothing on this list is aspirational.

  • Up to eight drives or team sites structured around your business
  • A written permission matrix: who can view, edit and manage each one
  • Files moved out of personal accounts, with ownership transferred to the business
  • Desktop and laptop sync configured, including selective sync so machines do not fill up
  • Version history and retention settings configured per drive
  • External sharing rules: who may share outside, with link expiry and domain restrictions
  • An access review report listing every external share found and what was done about it

How it works

The delivery sequence from order to handover.

  1. 1

    Find what exists

    We list the drives, folders and personal accounts holding company files, and every link currently shared outside the business.

  2. 2

    Agree the model

    A permission matrix per drive, and a decision on what external sharing may look like, both written down and approved by you.

  3. 3

    Move and transfer ownership

    Files are moved into business-owned drives and ownership is transferred from individuals, with the old locations left readable until you confirm.

  4. 4

    Configure sync and retention

    Desktop sync, selective sync, version history and retention settings applied per drive.

  5. 5

    Close the open shares

    Existing external links are reviewed with you, then expired, restricted or deliberately kept, and the outcome is reported in writing.

Full detail of how work is handed over, what happens if requirements are outstanding and how order records are kept is in the Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.

What we need from you

Nothing starts until these are in place, and the turnaround above is measured from that point — not from the moment you pay.

  • A cloud storage subscription in your own business name, with enough capacity for the files being moved
  • An administrator account created for us, at the access level the work needs
  • A decision-maker who can settle who should have access to what
  • Cooperation from staff whose personal accounts hold company files, including their agreement to move them
  • A list of the machines that should have desktop sync configured

Who this is for

  • Businesses whose files sit in personal cloud accounts
  • Companies that have lost access to documents when someone left
  • Organisations that cannot say what is shared outside the business
  • Teams whose desktop sync fills up laptops or silently stops working
  • Businesses with a client confidentiality obligation to keep access controlled

Business needs this addresses: Improve operations, Improve IT infrastructure

What's not included

Just as plainly as the list above: the things this package is not.

  • Cloud storage subscription and additional capacity fees, which you buy from the vendor in your own business name and pay them directly
  • Creating the tenant, user accounts, groups and sign-in policies, which is Cloud Workspace Setup
  • Document templates, naming conventions and team training, which are Business Productivity Suite Setup
  • Backup of the storage estate, which a shared drive is not — see Cloud Backup Setup
  • Recovering files already deleted beyond the provider’s own retention window
  • Any guarantee that nothing has ever been shared outside; we report every share the provider’s tools can surface, and nothing beyond that

Anything outside the scope above is quoted separately, in writing, before it is carried out. Nothing is added to your bill without your agreement.

FAQs

How is this different from Cloud Workspace Setup?

Cloud Workspace Setup creates the tenant, the users, the groups and the sign-in policies. This one deals with the files themselves: which drive they live in, who can open them, what happens to them when someone leaves, and who they are shared with outside the business. If your accounts already exist and work, you can buy this on its own.

Is this a backup?

No, and the distinction matters. A shared drive syncs a deletion everywhere, so a mistake spreads rather than being contained. Version history helps within the provider’s retention window, but an independent backup is a separate product and we would rather say so plainly than let you assume you are covered.

What happens to files in someone’s personal account?

They are moved into a business-owned drive and ownership is transferred, with that person’s agreement, and the original location is left readable until you confirm the move is complete. Genuinely personal files are not touched. We ask rather than assume, and anything ambiguous is left for the individual to sort out.

Who pays for the storage?

You do, directly to the provider, on a subscription in your own business name. If the move needs more capacity than your current plan holds, we tell you before starting and you decide whether to upgrade. We do not resell storage and take no margin on it.

Refund & cancellation

What happens if you change your mind, and what happens to money already paid.

Cooling-off before work starts
You have 7 days after ordering to cancel while work has not yet begun. Up to 25% may be retained to cover scoping and scheduling already carried out.
Work already done
Once delivery has started, refunds are assessed against the work completed and the deliverables already handed over — the list under “what you get” above is what that assessment is made against. Approved refunds are processed within 14 days.
If we cannot deliver what is described here
You are refunded. The scope on this page is the scope we are held to, which is exactly why the exclusions above are stated before you buy rather than after.

The full terms, item type by item type, are in the Refund & Cancellation Policy. How the work reaches you is covered by the Delivery & Fulfilment Policy.
