You may have seen the emails: “You’re approaching your Dynamics 365 storage limit.” Or worse: “Additional charges apply if you exceed your current allotment.” And you might be wondering—where is all this storage going?
The short answer: attachments, email content, and notes. Every time your team tracks an email or uploads a file, that data gets stored in your CRM—and at Microsoft’s rates, it adds up fast. We’re talking $40 per GB, per month for database storage.
AttachmentExtractor (AE) was designed to solve this exact problem—without disrupting your team or requiring any any changes to how you use Dynamics.
Here’s how it works (and why it saves so much money):
Automatically Move Attachments to Lower-Cost Storage
AE scans your CRM for high-volume storage culprits—attachments, notes, and rich email bodies—and relocates them to your existing SharePoint or Azure Blob storage. These platforms cost pennies per GB, and the transition is seamless. Files stay accessible in CRM, but you’re no longer paying premium prices to store them there.
Reduce Storage Costs Without Breaking the User Experience
The best part? End users don’t notice a thing. AE doesn’t replace files with links or alter the Dynamics interface. Attachments still appear where expected, and documents open with a click. From a user’s perspective, nothing has changed. From an admin’s perspective? Mission accomplished.
Set It, Forget It—And Watch the Savings Add Up
AE runs quietly in the background with a lightweight setup process and minimal ongoing management. Once installed, it continuously monitors and moves data. Many admins forget it’s even running—until they check their storage usage and see the impact.
Enterprise-Level Security, Without the Enterprise Headache
Regulated industries love AE for a reason: your data stays in your environment. AE doesn’t store anything itself. You can also self-host the service for even greater control. That makes it easier to meet compliance requirements—without paying sky-high storage fees for the privilege.
