What is the best place inside Office 365 to store MXF files which have sizes between 35-50 GB
We have many large MXF files which have sizes between 35-50 GB. currently we are storing those files inside SharePoint online document libraries:-
but seems SharePoint online is not designed to handle such large files. so my question is what is the best place to store those large files inside Office 365?

Would suggest considering OneDrive or Azure Blob Storage, in short, simple deployment becomes to OneDrive while long-term storage or advanced media workflows, may go to Azure Blob Storage:
OneDrive for Business
- Supports Large Files: OneDrive supports files up to 250 GB, which comfortably accommodates your MXF files.
- Ease of Use: OneDrive integrates seamlessly with other Office 365 apps, making it simple to share and collaborate.
- Cloud Storage: Similar to SharePoint, it’s part of the Office 365 ecosystem, so permissions and management are unified.
Azure Blob Storage
- Designed for Large Data: Azure Blob Storage is ideal for storing large, unstructured files like video and media files.
- Scalability: It offers extensive scalability to handle vast amounts of data without performance degradation.
- Advanced Media Handling: Azure also integrates with Azure Media Services, which can help manage, encode, and stream large files.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Azure Blob allows you to choose different storage tiers (hot, cool, or archive) based on how often you access the files, optimizing costs.
