Stop paying SharePoint prices for files that just need somewhere to live.
StoreX gives you organised, searchable file storage on your own Azure subscription — with admin controls, usage visibility, and an activity log. No Microsoft 365 licence required to store a file.
The problem
Microsoft 365 plans come with a generous storage allocation — until you blow through it. Additional SharePoint storage is expensive, and the cost compounds as your files grow. For organisations that generate images, videos, or large document archives, you're paying premium rates for bytes that don't need premium infrastructure. They just need somewhere organised to live.

What StoreX runs on — roughly 10–20× cheaper
Storing 5TB of files? The difference pays for StoreX and then some. We'll model it for your actual volume.
StoreX doesn't try to replace SharePoint. It gives you a better place for the files SharePoint charges too much to keep.
Where organisations use it
Archiving from SharePoint
Move older files off SharePoint to cut storage costs without losing access to them. StoreX keeps everything organised, searchable, and available — your first client will be doing exactly this.
Field photos and evidence
Water meters, installations, inspections, site surveys. Photos taken in the field need a structured home — not someone's camera roll or a WhatsApp thread.
Content and media assets
Marketing footage, training videos, product photography. Large files that don't belong in email and are too expensive to keep in SharePoint.
General file storage
Any organisation that generates files and needs a controlled, organised place to put them — without the overhead of a document management platform.
How it works
Upload from anywhere
Any browser, any device. Files go into folders your admin sets up — structured from day one, not a free-for-all.
Find what you need
Search across your entire library. Jump to the right folder. No digging through inboxes or asking a colleague where the file is.
Admin control, always
Set storage limits per person, manage who has access, and see exactly how your storage is being used.
Activity log included
See who uploaded, moved, or deleted what, and when. Lightweight by design — there when you need it, out of the way when you don't.
Who uses StoreX
SharePoint archiving
Cut Microsoft 365 storage costs by moving older files to Azure-priced storage — without losing access.
Field service and operations
Structured storage for photos, reports, and evidence captured in the field.
Content and creative work
A home for images and videos that are too large for SharePoint and too important for someone's hard drive.
Any organisation with growing files
Nothing stops you adding external users either — share access with partners or contractors on your terms.
What's included
Upload and organise in folders
Structured from the start. Files go where they belong — not into a flat dump of thousands of documents.
Search your entire library
Find any file without knowing exactly where it lives. Jump straight to the right folder.
Deleted items with retention
Accidentally deleted something? Recover it. Files aren't gone until you say they're gone.
Storage dashboards and per-person limits
See how your storage is being used. Set per-person limits so one person can't consume the whole quota.
Admin tools for users and storage
Manage users, adjust access, and stay on top of your storage footprint from a single admin view.
Activity history
Who uploaded, moved, or deleted what, and when. A lightweight audit trail that stays out of your way.
Hosted in your Azure subscription — not ours
Pricing
Starting from R5,000/month — no per-seat licence fees, no hidden tiers.
Platform fee
R5,000/month
Covers the software, deployment, updates, and ongoing management. Fixed monthly cost regardless of how many people use it or how much you store.
Your Azure subscription
Your tenant, your data
We set up and manage an Azure subscription in your name. You own it — we have no access to your files.
Azure consumption
Scales with your storage
You pay Azure rates for what you store — a fraction of SharePoint's per-GB pricing. We'll model your expected cost before you commit.
Total cost typically starts at R5,500–R7,000/month depending on storage volume. We size it with you before you sign anything — no surprises.
