Looking for a good file storage software
Hello experts,
We are looking for a good file storage and syncing software to implement with our 2016 Microsoft server to use with our local and remote employees. We tried OneDrive, but it does not offer us the ability to grant the permissions to different file/folders and file types that we would want. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Ok, i'll give those two options some thought. Is there any way to make the online Onedrive files read-only? Having the files online and via phone app would be useful to the users.
I guess you could setup OneDrive for all users with read-only permissions except for one (system) user that periodically syncs from your server to OneDrive as a scheduled task?

We have a corporate office with the Windows 2016 server as file server sharing the files to all local users, that is straightforward and it is working fine. We also have users working in other offices (6 total "remote users" - 1 to 2 Pcs per site no servers) that need access to some of the same files. We've tried working with a VPN but it is too slow - user's connection speed varies. So i've set up OneDrive for business on the server and the client and shared the respective folder, and that's worked fine. Here's the challenge, matching the folder permissions assigned by the server both online (via online portal) and on the client. For example:
On server permissions are as follow:
Parent folder (read only)
--Child Folder(Only add folders to it, cannot delete or add files)
----Grandchild (cannot delete add files and folders)
------Great Grandchild (full control)
Is there a way i can have onedrive propagate the permissions from the server to the online version to the client? If not, is there a way i can make the online version read only?
Thanks again!
