Storage of User Files
Trying to figure out the best option for storing department data files. For most of our departments, we are using SharePoint Online; however I have one department that shares Adobe files; PSD, PDF, and AI files. These files can be quite large and over a year, take up as much as a 1TB of space. SPO, does not seem to be the best option for this. I want something that can be easily accessible for both Windows and Mac clients. I was thinking Azure Storage more so Azure File Storage since the last time I check, it was not easy to give access to a blob. Some of the files would eventually moved to cold storage which makes cool or even Archive storage a possibility but again, needs to be access to the end user. Can any one assist on the best options. Thanks.
