It is for our users across different regions in China.<br />
<br />
We have our VPN software (sonicwall and Fortigate VPN clients) which works right now.<br />
<br />
If I go for MS OnDrive, will it be easier as users don't need to install VPN software. &nbsp;Besides, the performance should be better than ours as I suppose Microsoft should provide better infrastructure behind their Cloud service. Correct ?<br />
<br />
Thx

Clouds file hosting service and VPN access to file server

Cloud services are services made available to users via the Internet from a provider's servers. Cloud services are designed to provide easy, scalable access to applications, resources and services, and are fully managed by a cloud services provider. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Frequently offered cloud services are infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), desktops-as-a-service (DaaS), software-as-a-service (SaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS). Examples of cloud services include online data storage and backup solutions, Web-based e-mail services, hosted office suites and document collaboration services, database processing, managed technical support services and more.

Cloud Services

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
