Hey everyone! I'm on the lookout for options to share internal files without solely relying on Azure cloud storage. Are there any third-party services that allow replicating internal file shares without the hefty costs that Azure charges? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

You could consider Datto Workplace, Egnyte, or Box. They offer solid features for file sharing.
If Azure Files isn't working for you, consider hosting a Linux VM with a Samba share. Just set up a site-to-site VPN between your office and Azure, and you should be good to go!
Morrodata.com is another interesting choice to look into. Might be worth checking out!
You might want to check out Dropbox for Business, although it gets pretty close to Azure pricing. Another option could be setting up a VPN, which might give you some flexibility.
I’ve been looking at Egnyte myself, especially because it integrates nicely with O365. While I'm exploring non-VPN options, I do think a VPN could be the best route, though it depends on your specific needs.
I haven't heard much about Datto before, but its integration seems almost on par with OneDrive!
