Removing ODSP storages

Overview

These instructions will allow you to remove the One Drive and SharePoint entry points from MS Teams. All previous data will still exist in the sites however on MS Teams you will no longer be able to see the Files Tab in a Channel or have the Attachment icon when you are trying to send Messages. Drop and drag will be disabled from the MS Teams Chats and conversations. You are able to drag and drop in the Egnyte’s Message Extension to get the files in Egnyte.
