## Session Summary
|
||||
|
||||
First documented ClaudeTools record for **Russo Law Firm** (Tucson personal-injury / law
|
||||
practice). Triggered by a pre-sales question: the client wants to **move ~6.5 TB of data from
|
||||
ACG-hosted Seafile into Microsoft 365 SharePoint**, and Mike needs the cost to quote them. A
|
||||
phone meeting is being scheduled; as of 2026-06-15 the client has not responded to the meeting
|
||||
request. Pulled their live Syncro record, evaluated the SharePoint storage economics, vaulted a
|
||||
plaintext M365 admin credential found in the Syncro notes, and built the initial wiki article.

## SharePoint storage cost evaluation (the deliverable for the call)
|
||||
|
||||
Client scenario: **3 M365 seats, ~6.5 TB of data, currently in Seafile**, wants to move to SharePoint.
|
||||
|
||||
M365 SharePoint pooled storage = 1 TB base + 10 GB/licensed user. At 3 seats that's only ~1.03 TB
|
||||
included, so almost all 6.5 TB is billable overage.
|
||||
|
||||
Microsoft-only options (per client request to keep the comparison MS-only):
|
||||
| Option | Rate | ~Monthly for 6.5 TB (3 seats) | Notes |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **SharePoint Online "Extra File Storage"** | $0.20/GB/mo | **~$1,120/mo (~$13.4K/yr)** | live storage; ~5.47 TB billable after the ~1.03 TB pool. CSP-monthly +20% => ~$1,345/mo |
|
||||
| **Microsoft 365 Archive** | ~$0.05/GB/mo | ~$333/mo + retrieval fees | cold/inactive sites only; not for live working data |
|
||||
| **Self-hosted SharePoint Server (Subscription Edition)** | storage = disk (RBS) | licensing + infra + labor | storage escapes the $0.20/GB tax, but SharePoint Server + SQL + Windows licensing + SA + heavy ongoing ops is wildly disproportionate for 3 users (~$8-15K one-time licensing + hardware + setup + monthly maintenance). Not recommended. |
|
||||
|
||||
Context / alternatives (for ACG's internal read, not necessarily quoted MS-only):
|
||||
- They already have what they need in **Seafile** (ACG-hosted, part of the $543.50/mo bundle).
|
||||
- Backblaze B2 wholesale (~$0.006/GB) = ~$40/mo for 6.5 TB at ACG cost; a managed-archive resell
|
||||
at e.g. $0.03/GB (~$200/mo) is ~5-6x cheaper than Microsoft and still healthy margin.
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation / talking points for the call:**
|
||||
1. Ask **why SharePoint** — a specific feature (Office co-authoring, Teams), or just "we want SharePoint"? Decides everything.
|
||||
2. Moving all 6.5 TB live into SharePoint is a **~$1,100/mo new line item (~$13.4K/yr)** — roughly
|
||||
triples their current ACG monthly. Make sure they understand that before committing.
|
||||
3. Better path if they want the SharePoint UX: put the **working subset in SharePoint Online**
|
||||
(fits in/near the included pool) and **keep the 6.5 TB bulk in Seafile, linked** from SharePoint.
|
||||
4. If they just want files-with-web-access, they already have Seafile — no change needed.
|
||||
5. Self-hosting SharePoint Server is not worth it for 3 seats.
|
||||
|
||||
## Credentials & Secrets
|
||||
|
||||
- **M365 Global Admin (rrs-law.com tenant):** `guru@rrs-law.com` — found in PLAINTEXT in the Russo
|
||||
Syncro customer note. **Vaulted** at `clients/russo-law/m365-admin.sops.yaml` (username/password
|
||||
under `credentials:`; MFA/2FA held by Mike). **TODO: scrub the plaintext password from the Syncro
|
||||
customer note** now that it's vaulted.
|
||||
|
||||
## Pending / Incomplete Tasks
|
||||
|
||||
- Client has **not responded** to the meeting request (phone meeting being scheduled).
|
||||
- Scrub the M365 admin password from the Syncro customer 23331699 note (now vaulted).
|
||||
- On the call: confirm the "why SharePoint", present the cost, steer toward the hybrid (SP Online
|
||||
working set + Seafile bulk) unless a hard requirement forces a full move.
