Cloud File Server Options

Hi all,

I need some advice or some suggestions from you clever people. I have joined a startup business and need to setup a file server in the clouds. I am trying to figure out what the best option is. There is Office365 Business with OneDrive/SharePoint and I can see SharePoint would be good for procedures, certificates, templates, CV's etc., but project folders that has a certain folder structure with the potential of having a lot of files might not be that good. There is also DropBox Business that seems to have become more competent and interesting.....Don't think Google drive is an option... What do you think I should be looking at?

Hi BigT, 4 of us and then freelancers. Windows, but I also use a Mac. I don't think they are too bat with IT, but I am probably a bit more literate (Used to be a IT manager a few years back, but had a few clever people under me). The company I worked for before had 4 people when I joined and had 150 when I left. But my expertise is mainly hydrographic surveying. My previous company had their own servers. My main job can't be IT, as that will not bring the money in, and as I said it is not my main expertise. It needs to be relatively easy to manage, especially if I get hit by a bus. The emails are already on MS Exchange Online.

Thank you. Some things to think about there. Security between the 4 of us is not important but if we bring someone in to work on a report, then it is.

Forgot to say that teamwork on documents could be an important part.
