I have a head quarter with a Fileserver.
An office in another city with just win 10 notebooks.
Homeoffice users.
A big office in another city with a server.

I have azure Files.
Every client and Server needs the same share.

I want Azure file sync to the headquarters server and the server in the big office.
I want additionally connect all other Workstations directly to this Azure Files share but without azure file sync.

Is this scenario possible?
Thanks

    Hi @MH

    Thank you for asking this question on the **Microsoft Q&A Platform. **

    Short answer, yes, it is possible.

    According to the documentation you can use the Azure File Share as the main storage and your on-premises server will be a Cache of Azure file share.
