How do you share files between multiple locations for collaboration? The easy answer might be OneDrive, but that's not always the best answer. Services like OneDrive are designed to provide services to a single user. But when entire departments or organizations need to access files from a central location, Azure File Sync is a relatively easy-to-deploy cloud solution that allows larger organizations to safely and securely store and share files across multiple locations.
Imagine if your headquarters needed to share financial data with various branch offices. There are multiple ways to accomplish this task - but most of them require a lot of upkeep and maintenance. Likewise, data syncing operations can be much more complicated than you might think. Using a hybrid solution like Azure File Sync takes the guesswork out of those operations.
Knox Hutchinson lays out a few steps that show how to deploy Azure File Sync:
✔ Step 1a: You will need Azure storage - specifically, Azure file storage. You’ll want to deploy Azure file storage with Azure storage account with file storing.
✔ Step 1b: You’ve got to tell it to sync a file share - so you’ll configure an Azure file sync resource that’ll tell everything where to land.
✔ Step 2a: Make sure your environment is ready for the installer! Do a basic assessment to ensure that you have the correct .NET framework already installed - usually a version that’s greater than 4.7 (or the latest version required for file sync).
✔ Step 2b: Have the correct Powershell module installed so you can run the commands needed.
✔ Step 3: Install the agent! Download, run the installer, make sure it works … you know the drill.
✔ Step 4: Jump back to Azure and configure Azure File Sync.
Ta-daa! That’s how you get started with Azure File Sync.
