Hi Bravo, yes AD Connect would be required. You can find some more information in the Microsoft Docs. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-files-identity-auth-active-directory-enable If you have a need or current project, where you need advice and help from Microsoft Engineering. Just nominate yourself for the FastTrack for Azure Program. Our EMEA Team would be happy to help you. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/programs/azure-fasttrack/partners/

Hi Oliver,
I’m not a Sharepont expert, so I try to not compare them but there is a great article from Jaap Wesselius I would recommend. https://jaapwesselius.com/2019/09/18/azure-files-instead-of-sharepoint-online/

Are they preserved in Azure through AAD Connect. And can remote users access the share from home with same credentials as on site?

Thanks for clarifying.

Great article, thanks, but what about comparing SharePoint Online (documents library) vs Azure Files?
