A &quot;correct&quot; answer depends so much upon a deeper listing of requirements, such as security requirements, sharing expectations, size and type of files as well as total space needed.<br />
<br />
However, just to do it quick and dirty set them up with a common One Drive account and have them share like that. <br />
<br />
Good luck...

So they are mostly Office files and PDF's and relatively small in size. &nbsp;Some information may be considered sensitive, but nothing PCI , HIPPA, etc.<br />
Was thinking of setting up a trial on One Drive or WorkDocs and see how it goes. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
How do you backup One Drive files, does MS have an option? &nbsp; I know AWS has that ability.

MS has a sync tool, or client side app. MS handles the backup of the files internally, so you don't have to worry about it.

Do they have versioning and what happens when you need to restore? &nbsp;Assume you would create open a service request?

Have a SMB that would like to migrate to the cloud for mainly file sharing purposes.<br />
They don't really need AD, just some way to manage and share files between about 20 users.<br />
<br />
Looking at AWS, Azure and Sharepoint. &nbsp;Does anyone have any recommendations, pro's/con's, etc.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Cloud File Sharing

Microsoft Sharepoint is a software platform and family of software products used for collaboration and web publishing combined. These capabilities include developing web sites, portals, intranets, content management systems, search engines, wikis, blogs, and other tools for business intelligence and collaboration. SharePoint has a Microsoft Office-like interface, and it is closely integrated with the Office suite.

Cloud computing, also known as on-demand computing, is a kind of Internet-based computing where shared resources and information are provided to computers and other devices. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in third-party data centers, relying on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale.

Cloud Computing

Amazon Web Services (AWS), is a collection of remote computing services, also called web services, that make up a cloud-computing platform  operated from 11 geographical regions across the world. The most central and well-known of these services include Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, also known as "EC2", and Amazon Simple Storage Service, also known as "S3". Other services include Elastic MapReduce (EMR), Route 53 (a DNS web service),  provides a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service, Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), storage, database, deployment and application services.

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications and services through datacenters. It provides both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. Cloud Services is a PaaS environment and can be used to create scalable applications and services; there are specific software development kits (SDKs) provided by Microsoft for Python, Java, Node.js and .NET. Azure also has file and storage services, data management, analytics and DNS services.
