On premise Linux file server using O365 user's authentication

Question

Hi,

We are a small business with 16 users who all have a standard business O365 subscription. We tried using a combo of Sharepoint and Onedrive to replace a file server. It doesn't work like it should (due to the fact that our users need to use other O365-accounts on the same computer when they are at a customer). Files not syncing, no access, duplicate files, .... just a big mess. I want to replace this mess with a simple on premise file server. How can I prevent making different accounts and not having synced passwords to access the share? I just want everybody to be able to connect with the share based on their existing O365 profiles... Not more, not less...

Oh, yes, I don't want to run the file server on a Windows Server due to the pricing of course...

Any ideas?

Chris.
