Azure Storage over VPN

Hi,
I am looking for advice for the best way to setup a file storage area in Azure that is only accessible over VPN. It must be a standard file share to store BIM related information and be able to be mapped from the client machine in several different companies.
If anyone can offer guidance or point me in the direction of documentation I would be grateful
Regards
Ben

    Hi,

     

    since 2017 it‘s possible to integrate a storage account into a virtual network. Link

    On that storage account you can use an Azure File Share, which acts as a NTFS Share.

    Another really good way is to use Azure File Sync (Link) if you want to realize a Branch Office file share.

      Thanks Hannes I will have a read through those links and implement a test to determine if either option will meet the requirements.
