Cloud backup for your cloud productivity

Microsoft doesn't back up your Microsoft 365 data.

Dropsuite, deployed by SynergyIQ, backs up every mailbox, OneDrive, SharePoint site, and Teams chat to a separate cloud. When something gets deleted — accidentally or otherwise — you get it back in minutes.

SynergyIQ is a managed IT, cybersecurity, and workflow-automation provider based in Richmond, Texas, serving small businesses and healthcare practices across Greater Houston (Sugar Land, Katy, Pearland, Missouri City, Fort Bend County).

Microsoft 365 retention is not a backup.

Microsoft's shared responsibility model is explicit: they keep the service running, you keep your data safe. Most SMBs don't know this until they need a 6-month-old email — and it's gone.

30 days then it's gone

Default Microsoft retention: deleted mailbox items recoverable for 14-30 days. After that, even Microsoft can't help you. Same story with OneDrive and SharePoint.

Departing employees take data with them

When an employee leaves and you delete their account, their mailbox is preserved for 30 days then deleted. Vendor relationships, client conversations, contracts — all gone.

Ransomware encrypts cloud data too

Modern ransomware syncs through OneDrive and encrypts cloud-stored files. Microsoft's version history helps, but is no match for a sophisticated attacker.

Every email. Every file. Forever.

Dropsuite runs 3x daily incremental backups of your entire M365 (or Google Workspace) tenant to its own secure cloud — completely separate from your production environment.

Mail, drive, sites, and Teams Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams chat + files, and even Public Folders. One backup, full tenant coverage.
Unlimited retention Default is unlimited — every email and file you've ever had, instantly searchable, indefinitely. Compliance and discovery teams love this.
Granular restore Restore a single email, a single file, a single Teams conversation, or an entire mailbox. Per item, per date, in minutes.
Ransomware-proof Backups live in Dropsuite's separate AWS-backed cloud, fully air-gapped from your tenant. Ransomware in your environment can't touch them.
Compliance archiving Optional WORM-mode archive for SEC 17a-4, FINRA, HIPAA, and FTC retention rules. Drop-in compliance for regulated industries.
SynergyIQ handles the restores You don't learn a new console. You email Irfan, we restore. Average time-to-restore for a single mailbox: under 30 minutes.

Things Houston businesses actually ask us

Doesn't Microsoft already back up my data?
No. This is a common misconception. Microsoft's shared responsibility model (clearly published) says they handle service availability — you handle data protection. Retention is not backup. The Microsoft docs themselves recommend a third-party backup.
How fast can SynergyIQ restore a deleted email?
Typical single-email or single-file restore: 5-15 minutes from your request. Full mailbox restore: 30-60 minutes for a typical 50GB mailbox. We've done emergency restores during ransomware events in under 2 hours.
Does Dropsuite work with Google Workspace too?
Yes — Dropsuite supports both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, with full coverage of Gmail, Drive, Calendars, Contacts, and Shared Drives.
Where is the backup data stored?
Dropsuite uses AWS infrastructure with multiple US datacenters as default. EU and APAC regions available on request. SOC 2 Type II audited, HIPAA-eligible (BAA available).
How is this priced — per user or per mailbox?
Per active user/mailbox. License terminations are credited at month-end. Shared mailboxes and resource mailboxes typically don't count toward your billable seat count — talk to us for exact numbers.
