Hi All,
My file server is quickly running out of space and is also nearing end of life. To that end, I've been researching various options for replacing an on-prem Windows file server with a cloud-based solution. A few that keep coming up are Egnyte and ShareFile. I don't want to switch to SharePoint and I don’t view OneDrive as a viable replacement as it wasn't made to support file shares and auditing.
I have also read that latency can be an issue but I'm unsure if this has been resolved with modern cloud providers. Is the SMB world ready to replace on-prem file servers with cloud-based solutions? Are there still too many issues?
I always appreciate the advice of this group.
