This is a more expensive solution and not ideal for a small office of only 5 staff. The only solution to date is to upgrade the current server to a newer Windows Server 2012 R2 and synchronise OFB that way. I am hopeful that toward the end of the year, OFB syncing on NAS devices will become more common and provide a real cost effective option for small businesses. It is a more expensive option, but it works. One of my clients has agreed to put in a HP Micro-Server running Windows Server 2012 R2. Until then, the only other solutions we have is to sync OFB from either a desktop or Server 2012. Perhaps then, vendors like Synology will be able to incorporate it in their DSM software. Microsoft have advised that a new sync client is being released in Q3 of this year that will resolve these sync issues. It uses a different sync client than OneDrive and has problems one the number of files exceeds 20,000. Issues user currently experience with syncing OFB. I am guessing the reason currently holding them up is because of the I did email Synology support and they replied advising that they are looking at adding OneDrive for Business support in the future, but no ETA given. Their DiskStation Manager 5.2 software does sync with OneDrive, but not OneDrive for Business. The closest I have come to OneDrive backup is with Synology. I agree about vendors offering their own cloud services. The NAS will effectively act as a server in the office and allow backup offsite and access via the SharePoint website externally.
