We are a small construction company. Currently all our project related folders are on permises. but we are looking to take it to the cloud and we want all the team to access project folders from their laptop from anywhere as long as they have internet access. for example let say the project server is P-Driive.

we are looking to mount P-Drive on each employee laptop but accessible with only internet connection.

Can some one advise what type of Azure product fits my need ?

Thank you !

    Hello,

    For your needs, you might consider using Azure Files. Azure Files provides a fully managed file share in the cloud that can be accessed via the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, which is the same protocol used for your on-premises file shares.

    The advantages of Azure Files are as follows:

    Managed File Shares: Azure Files provides fully managed file shares that can be accessed from anywhere using the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol. This means your team can easily mount the Azure file share on their laptops, similar to how they would access a local drive.

    Cross-Platform Access: It supports access from Windows, Linux, and macOS, making it versatile for different operating systems your team might use.

    Integration: It integrates well with existing applications and can be used alongside other Azure services if you decide to expand your cloud capabilities in the future.

    Security: Azure Files offers built-in security features, including encryption and access control, ensuring your project data is protected.

    For more details, refer to the following articles: Introduction to Azure Files | Microsoft Learn

    I hope the information above is helpful.

    Best Regards,

    Yanhong Liu
