Integrating ReadyNAS with OneDrive Business (Office 365)

I tried searching for older posts, but it wasn't clear what support or options exist.

 

I'm looking for best practices for integrating higher end readynas devices with onedrive for business (office 365).

 

We've used an RN516 here for several years, and have generally supported having higher end readynas devices in home/small business offices...however, office 365 is gaining major momentum and is being deployed (replacing google apps/etc)....and for most business documents, it seems that onedrive will be the primary storage and the readynas might be either intermediary or backup storage...there are sync tools out there.

 

How are others handling this?  Has Netgear announced any future plans for handling this?

 

The biggest issue with onedrive for business seems to be backup and that it's remote...Microsoft suggests having on premise servers in a hybrid config...but I assume a readynas could serve the same purpose?

    AFAIK, Microsoft isn't providing linux tools to sync with OneDrive - an odd omission.

     

    Possibly you could do this with a windows application server, using the NAS for storage.
