Hi all,
I'm trying to work out the possibility of storing files on the cloud, azure, instead of locally on the server. The client running out of space and adding hard drive capacity is not easy due to the server configuration.
Currently they have lots of data about jobs in file format which are saved in a folder structure. I was hoping to save this to the cloud instead and access them via the link. So instead of the link having \\server\folder\job\file1.docx it would have \\azure.com\company\folder\job\file1.docx
The one issue, and there are probably many, is that I can't have links work outside the ofice, they have a static ip, or else have a setup whereby I can send the link with the username and password but that the mink on it's own would not be enough to open the file. We can't have the users in the office enter a username and pasword each time as it would slo things down too much.
Anyone knwo if this is possible, I read conflicting articles online so I'm not sure.
