We have a few customers at the moment who seem to be set on "moving to the cloud" Their basic vision is there will be a mapped network drive that everyone from 4 different offices access' but this is in the cloud.

The way I was thinking is a dedicated server or maybe some data centre space and a site to site VPN, is there any other better solutions you guys recommend?

The really annoying thing this is one customer in particular already has a fully licenced terminal server which remote offices use which works but this is not "cloud" so they want another option...

Thanks guys,

The issue with this is they are a very demanding customer that want everything to work exactly how they want it to as "everyone else has cloud and does it like this so why cant we" seems to be their comments at the moment so we are trying to advice on what would work as close to this. Dropbox and such wont really work too well as they would have 40+ users accessing the files so I presume there would be conflicts unlike a Windows Server environment which would force the file to open in read only and tell you who has it open?
 
Thanks everyone.

We will have to sit down with them and give them options with pros and cons of all options and see what they decide. The onedrive server shares would be ideal if that ever does come about.

I will have a look into egnyte to and see the pricing with them.
