SharePoint and OneDrive: mass delete notification in Office 365
Microsoft has recently launched this feature in Office 365, here is the description of the new feature from Microsoft
“
People will be notified if a large number of files are deleted. For OneDrive, if a large number of files are deleted from a person’s OneDrive, that person – the *owner* – will be sent an email notification letting them know about it and pointing them to the Recycle Bin in case they want to restore. For SharePoint team sites, if a large number of files are deleted, the *person that deleted them* (site owner or member) will be sent an email notification letting them know about it and pointing them to the Recycle Bin in case they want to restore. Each email notification will include an unsubscribe link at the bottom for those that wish to opt out of this type of notification. In addition to this server-side mass delete detection, whenever someone deletes more than 200 synced OneDrive or Team Site files at once from their device, the OneDrive sync client will prompt the user to confirm it was intentional. If it was accidental, the user can tap Restore Files to bring them back, otherwise tapping remove will delete them as usual. If a user wants to skip the new behavior, they can select the Always remove files box before tapping Remove to skip the prompt for future mass deletes.

Hello,
I am trying to research if a ‘Site Owner’ can be notified if a user has deleted a large amount of files on their site? So, not just the ‘user’ being notified, but also the ‘site owner’?
