[Qgis-user] QGIS and geopackages in sharepoint environement

[jhubbslist at att.net]

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.
