Onedrive for business Enterprise Deployment Concerns
Hi SPO Admin. Would it not work better to use mapped network drives? This would keep local storage requirements to a minimum and you can map to site hierarchies rather than just individual document libraries.

Nope SharePoint Mapped drives have lot of issues. Microsoft doesn't ensure a consistent Sharepoint-to-Drive Mapper connection. Each time user has to re authenticate via browser for connection to remain consistent. Their favorites doesn't work too and they have to refavorite links all the time and the customer experience is not that great. We want through all that hassle so wanted to try out OneDrive client.
Hi SPO Admin. Have you had a look at Zee Drive? Zee Drive maps network drives to OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online but also ensures that users are always signed in as it doesn't use the browser for authentication. You can connect a drive to sites, site hierarchies and individual document libraries.
Zee Drive also provides advanced functions directly from the File Explorer menu for file search, sharing and version management.
Disclosure: I work for the company that develops Zee Drive.

How would the pricing be for 600 to 700 users in multiple geo locations. Data they sync to Onedrive can vary between 100GB to 1TB for each user.
Hi SPO Admin. Pricing for Zee Drive can be found on the purchase form on our website here http://www.thinkscape.com/Map-Network-Drives-To-Office-365-OneDrive/ in the right hand column. I have also sent you a private message with further details.
Thank you!
