Office 365 (OneDrive) Google Apps (Drive) or SAN?

[Lonix]

Hi All

 

So, we currently have Office 365 which works a treat for our Staff and Students. Provides the OneDrive, Email, Software for multiple devices.

 

Who here is made the switch from local SAN/Storage servers to OneDrive/Google Drive - Preferably Office 365.

 

Mind answering questions:

 

1. How much storage does each user get (I cant seem to see this)
   
2. Easy to share with other Staff/Students?
   
3. Easy to provide access to Staff to Student areas?
   
4. Backups/Restorations?
   
5. Once they have filled it up? Does the School have the option to pay for say 10 Students and 20 Staff increases?
   
6. Whats the broadband impact? We are currently sitting on 100MB and it is heavily used. We have several departments that rely on saving files bigger than 100MB each.
   

 

We currently have a daily backup and 3 previous versions every day. This allows us to restore very easily, quickly any deleted/overwritten data. Even allows us to go back 3 months worth of work. Even if a Student decides to clear out their or some one else's logged on account areas.. we can again restore.

 

I am seriously considering this as an option but I would like all the facts.

 

Thank you
