Hey everyone! I manage a mid-sized company with around 60 employees, and we've been experiencing some fast growth lately. Most of our team works remotely, and right now, we're relying on Google Drive along with a few other tools to handle file management and internal operations. While it has been working for us, the current setup feels cluttered and tricky to manage.
Our needs aren't particularly complex; we're mainly sharing project documents, reports, some light media, and using a few internal tools. However, it seems like we might have outgrown our current setup, so I'm looking for something that is more stable and scalable for the long haul.
I've heard a lot of positive opinions about Azure, especially regarding its security, access control, and integration with the Microsoft tools we're already using. I've explored Azure Blob Storage and SharePoint, but there's a lot to take in if you aren't already deep in the Microsoft ecosystem.
So, I would love to hear from anyone managing similar-sized teams or working in operations/IT. Do you think investing in Azure is a good move for us now, or should we wait until we're larger or facing more complex needs? Any insights from those who've made a similar transition or are currently using Azure would be greatly appreciated!

If your team is going to be interacting with the files directly, I recommend using OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. You don’t need a complicated setup for that kind of file management. However, if you're looking to build a system that will handle files, then you might want to consider Azure Storage for its infrastructure capabilities. Generally speaking, both options can cater to companies of any size.
Yeah, we’re not creating anything custom right now; we just want to organize better and avoid having multiple systems that don’t integrate well. If OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams can handle our basics without going too in-depth, that’s definitely what I’m leaning towards. Thanks for your input!
