Is it possible to move unused shared mailboxes to archive? #M365AMA

In this episode, the #M365AMA panel discusses the following community question:

“We have several Exchange Online PLan 1 or 2 – shared mailboxes in our environment that was previously set up. Some is just to store old mails and documents in those mails, related to regulations for storing Accounting related data. Nobody logs on and gets any data from them anymore. Seems a wasted cost to keep these as licensed mailboxes: IS there another method in MS to convert these to storage/archive in some other way ?”
