Instant Archive is the fastest way to offload files from your Suite active storage. Drag and drop files into the Instant Archive folder and retrieve them instantly at any time: no restore process, no delays, no egress fees.
How Instant Archive works
Drag and drop your file(s) into a dedicated folder in your Suite drive called Instant Archive.
Need something back? Just drag the file(s) out of the Instant Archive folder and drop it back into your desired location within the Suite drive.
⚠️ Important Note: You can drag and drop or move data into the Instant Archive folder. Creating or copying files/folders (not moving) directly into Instant Archive is not supported.
When you move data from Active to Instant Archive, it enters a 7-day pending state. During this time, it’s still counted—and billed—as Active. After 7 days, the data automatically shifts to your Archive allocation and is billed at the Archive rate moving forward.
You can always check how much data is allocated to Archive via your Suite storage snapshot!
