Your biggest and most immediate pain will come from your greatly
diminished bandwidth and increased latency; you're talking about going
from as fast as Ethernet wire speed to whatever your up/down Internet
rates are best-case. But even beyond that, it's a pretty tall business
risk to accept; you'd be deciding to depend on Microsoft giving you
their continued permission to operate on top of depending on every link
in Internet connectivity between you and wherever. And y'all don't @ me
about "But everybody is doing it;" there's no consolation in being dead
in the water along with thousands or millions of other companies.
I don't know how sensitive your operations are but consider that
whatever your data is, you'd be disclosing it to Microsoft. Are they
going to be paying you for that access? Do you have any recourse against
them if they make use of that access? I've been in an environment before
where people who'd signed NDAs to obtain data from businesses turned
right around and put that data on AWS, thereby disclosing sensitive data
to Amazon.
Even on your fileserver aren't you running into issues with multiple
people accessing and potentially changing the same files? If so, you
might want to start looking into institutionalizing a PostGIS operation
in-house so you can manage data more effectively.

Hello
We are discussing in our company to switch from local fileserver/NAS
to Sharepoint (hosted in cloud). Will QGIS-projects and geopackages
work on sharepoint environment or do we have to expect a lot of
troubles? Have anybody experience with QGIS and geopackages on
sharepoint? Will we encounter problems if geopackages are opened by
several users?
Thanks for your advices in advance
Guido
