Setting Up a Quarantine Folder for Office 365 and Microsoft 365 SharePoint

Before you quarantine files stored in SharePoint, you need to designate and configure a quarantine folder.

To set up a quarantine mailbox

  1. Navigate to Configuration > Cloud App Store.
  2. Click Configure on the SharePoint tile.
  3. Select either:
    • Create Quarantine folder in the root directory to create a quarantine folder in the top-level directory of your SharePoint.
    • Quarantine to existing directory to quarantine files to an existing folder.

      This folder must already exist as it cannot be created during this process.

      In the Select Quarantine Path dropdown list, select the folder you want to designate as the quarantine folder.

  4. Click Force Site Admin to require actions by the site administrators.
  5. Click Advanced to view the Authorization Scope options:
    • Select Authorize for all sites to enforce the quarantine settings for all SharePoint sites.
    • Select Authorize for specific sites only to enforce the quarantine settings for only specified SharePoint sites.

      In the Restrict to these sites only field, enter the sites for which the quarantine settings will be used.

  6. Click Ok.
