![]() With Azure File Sync, you can centralise your file management and consolidate file shares across multiple offices or locations, making it easier for users to access files from anywhere. It offers these benefits to your organisation: What is the difference between Azure File Sync And Azure Files?Īzure Files is a standalone cloud file storage solution, while Azure File Sync is a solution for syncing on-premises file servers with Azure Files. So when users update your files daily, they do that to the local file server copy only. ![]() Once the users save the file, it gets synched back into Azure, and because everything copied into Azure is free, only the things coming out will cost you. Azure File Sync behaves similarly to OneDrive when you double-click the file it downloads the file to the on-premises file server. This process is similar to OneDrive when you see some of your files with a cloud icon beside then, and when you click on the file, it is downloaded to your PC. Depending on your branch office’s usage, only the data your users are using out of that main storage will be synchronised. Here is an example: let us say you have ten terabytes of data, but your branch office file server only needs one terabyte. Each branch office can then have their own file server that synchronises with the central repository, but only for a portion of the data. Assuming you have multiple offices and not all require the same content, Azure File Sync provides central storage of all your files. Unlike OneDrive that is lightweight online storage more suitable for personal use, Azure File Sync allows you to centrally store all your company’s data inside Microsoft Azure, including databases, AI processes, blob, etc. How does it work?Īzure File Sync is like OneDrive but on steroids! This enables you to store large amounts of unstructured data on low cost disk in the cloud while keeping important or regulalry accessed content on-premises for improved performance. ![]() The benefit combines faster access, more efficient hardware utilisation, and better data recovery by keeping a local copy of organisational content (or a selection of) on your on-premises storage with a full content copy in the cloud. With Azure File Sync, you can have a hybrid location for your files which can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection. Azure File Sync is Microsoft’s cloud-based service that allows organisations to synchronise files and folders from on-premise Windows Servers to Azure Files, as a fully managed cloud based file sharing service. ![]()
