Following on from my Nas drive question.

Which cloud based service would be best suited for syncing documents for a small business shared with 3 different locations?

Free: Google Drive (plus you get to use Google Docs)
Paid: OneDrive (plus you get to use office.... I think)
Free/Paid: Dropbox (nice but not as good as the others for collaboration and no online apps)

In terms of security/performance they're basically the same.

Whichever the most appropriate Office365 subscription is, so you get MS Office and OneDrive

Thanks for the info.

Think I'll play around with Google drive and see how easy it is first.

The people using it aren't brill at geek stuff so after the info received this morning a nas drive is not an option.

For easy access to Google Drive just click on the 3x3 dots in the top right corner of a Chrome tab - this is assuming that you have a gmail account.

it's really easy to use and all docs can be downloaded in Office format if required.

Another vote for Google Drive.

The free version of Dropbox is now limited to three concurrent connections.

Edit: by concurrent I mean using the system tray background service to perform syncing.
