Imagine that you are the lead systems architect for a company that has recently made a decision to move all of their services to Azure. One of the questions that has been asked is how to effectively take advantage of the different services offered in Azure and not just replicate how your environment is currently build in your on-premises data center.

One particular area of discussion is Azure storage. Currently, you have VMs deployed to host user and group file shares for your company. You have been asked to see how Azure storage can be used to re-think how your file share are deployed. Briefly describe what your approach would be, taking into account how files are access, securing access to these files, and dependencies on other Azure or on-premises services.
