### "Fast and easy way to cloud storage" — 5.0/5

> **Arno** | *8 June 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Great documented by Microsoft. Easy to deploy and manage with tools like Storage Explorer.
> 
> **Cons**: Costs are a bit unsure at the start. At the end the estimation was right. Also keep notice the security settings. You are just one click away to set a File Share to public access.
