Configuring the Mailbox and Public folder size data source in Office 365

Introduction

The Mailbox and Public folder size data source is used to produce reports on the size of mailboxes, mailbox folders and public folders. Information displayed in reports is based on a 'snapshot' taken within the last 24 hours. It is dynamically collected through PowerShell. Data is stored into the database and cannot be re-imported for past periods.

For more information about the import process, see Import Storage Size Data .
