What solution should be proposed to allow quick access to shared files if a branch office is inaccessible?

An Azure file share and Azure File Sync
A Recovery Services vault and Windows Server Backup
A Recovery Services vault and Azure Backup
Azure blob containers and Azure File Sync

The correct answer is: An Azure file share and Azure File Sync

Proposing an Azure file share combined with Azure File Sync is an effective solution for ensuring quick access to shared files from a branch office that becomes inaccessible. Azure file shares enable organizations to create a centralized file storage solution in the cloud where files can be managed and accessed over the network, just like traditional file shares. This centralization ensures that files are not solely dependent on the local branch office infrastructure. Azure File Sync enhances this solution by allowing on-premises Windows Servers to cache the Azure file shares. This means that users can continue to access frequently used files directly from the local server, even if the connection to Azure is temporarily lost. Azure File Sync syncs changes made locally to the Azure file share once connectivity is restored. This design allows seamless access to files during outages, mitigating downtime and enhancing productivity. In contrast, the other options focus on backup and recovery solutions, which, while important for data protection, do not specifically address the immediate need for accessing shared files quickly during a disruption.
