Microsoft Access database running off the cloud storage like Microsoft OneDrive

Hi,
I have Microsoft Access databases running off the file server. For internal users, they run directly from their desktop shortcuts. For external users like sales people, they log into our terminal server and run from their RDP session.
This requires a login for external/sales people and they don't like that.
They like to be able to run Access database like they are opening Word or Excel files from their Microsoft OneDrive.
I like to know if anyone has run Microsoft Access databases successfully off the OneDrive(I am not talking about microsoft Azure which is essentially a file server in the cloud)?

Thanks for the information and I agree that it is pretty hefty pricing structure.
But still good to know that such service is available.

Although I think the Terminal Server method is preferred, at least at the moment, Microsoft is now offering another option called Azure Remote Apps.

This is a fee based service which allows you to run your Office applications in the cloud, from virtually any device.
