SBS sync data to the cloud

Experts -

Looking for some advice.  I have a client that is looking for a solution for a few people offsite.  They's like to do a simple sync of their data files to a cloud service.  They are already on Office 365, so email is easy.  What do people do for actual data?  Skydrive Pro I suppose is an option but not sure how easy/user friendly that would be.

Thx,

-Joe

Depending on which Office 365 plan you have, you may already have OneDrive for Business. Unless there is a specific feature that it doesn't offer, that's what I recommend. No reason to pay for two cloud sync services when one will suffice, and the "free" cloud sync services aren't for business use.

Thanks Cliff.  I'm actually not sure if OneDrive will meet the needs.  As an example, can OneDrive Sync particular folders from an SBS realtime and can users then create a mapped drive to that synced location?

Thanks for the advise.  I ended up going old school: VPN to the office so they would have direct (slow) access...
