Create a cloud file server in Microsoft Azure with secure remote access and mobile file access. The cloud file server can use Azure Blob Storage or Azure File as backend data storage. The end-user can use a web browser, Windows mapped drive, Mac mounted volume, and mobile apps on iOS and Android devices to access files and folders as if it were from a file server sitting in the cloud. Additional features including Active Directory integration, file locking, NTFS file permission integration, Single Sign-on, and various other features. The primary use case for the cloud file server is to enhance the mobile worker's productivity without extra user training. By providing a mapped drive user experience, users can use the files and folders directly from a drive letter. The second use case for the cloud file server is to enable a remote and mobile workforce. The cloud file server sitting in the Microsoft Azure data center can have remote synchronization channels with on-premise file servers. This way, remote and mobile workforce don't have to depend on VPN and can access files and folders in a very productive way. The third use case of the cloud file server is to be able to help multi-branch offices to improve the efficiency of accessing corporate file servers in a uniform way. By having on-premise file servers and cloud file servers combined into a hybrid-file-server setup, employees from branch offices and employees from headquarter will have the same way of accessing files and folders. The primary features of the cloud file server include 1. cloud mapped drive 2. global file locking 3. on-demand access and synchronization 4. active directory integration 5. granular folder permission support 6. 2-factor and Single Sign-on support 7. sharing as web-links 8. outlook integration 9. send and receive large files as links 10. file server cloud backup 11. version history 12. audit trace and file changelog.
