Lost SAS URI - is it recoverable?

We hired a guy to push a bunch of PST's to Azure (to be put into mailboxes) and he disappeared. We know he used a SAS URI and we know he did push the data up. We looked in storage explorer and dont see the data in any of our storage accounts. The guy deleted the original PST's so we cant just push the data back up.

as far as we know, he was using this guide https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/use-network-upload-to-import-pst-files?view=o365-worldwide

  1. can we find the SAS URI he used somewhere in azure?
  2. can we explore this data somehow?

Any help is appreciated, thanks so much.

Solution

  • can we find the SAS URI he used somewhere in azure?

    Sadly no. Azure does not store the SAS URI anywhere.

    can we explore this data somehow?

    You would need to know the storage account where the files were uploaded. Without that you will not be able to explore this data.
