Seeking a solution for file sharing...
We have a customer with 11 employees. They have a specific shared folder on the file server that everyone accesses. However, only two employees need access to the shared folder 24/7 and/or when these two employees are not in the office. These two employees would also like to access certain files from their i-phones, i-pads, droids, etc... when they are not in the office. The REST of the employees don't need access from outside of the office.
I am aware of Office 365's capabilities but, doesn't that mean that Everyone/All 11 employees would need to subscribe when only 2 employees need outside/remote access?
Thoughts? Possible cost effective solutions? Thanks!

Great! So, the Synology Box (which we actually have one in our own IT office but haven't used the sync feature) should still be able to act as a local shared (Projects) folder for the 9 remaining in-office employees while the other two employees could Also access the local shared (Projects) folder like the other 9 in-office employees AND access the same shared (Projects) folder remotely?
2nd Question: Is the $40 app apply to each user who accesses the Synology synced box hence a total of $40 x 12 Or, is it $40 flat to used on the Synology NAS with a certain number of users?
BTW, they do currently have a couple of Dropbox accounts but, only some files are on Dropbox and not the entire shared (Projects) folder.
I thought about 365's SharePoint and thought similar to you with regards to instability, surprisingly after being in production for HOW LONG? 5, 6 years? No wonder their stock is only hovering around $45/share. :-)
