We are a small business with only 3 GIS users, and we all work from home in different States so we need solutions to collaborate within a virtual environment. We are using ArcGIS Pro licenses.
The nature of our work is that we have two primary data types:
* High resolution imagery for our project sites that are quite large in size - would be looking for storage of about 2TB to cover the imagery but may grow even more in the future. Would like a cloud storage solution that hosts the imagery where we can all view it from - preferably without costing a fortune. We are currently all storing the imagery individually on hard drives (so 3 copies of the data - which is cheap to store but no longer functional or sustainable to keep doing this). The cloud storage solution would ideally still allow us to use machine learning on the imagery to create classification outputs, but the imagery TIFF file itself is not edited.
* 1 Geodatabase for each project site (so about 10 to 20 GDBs total) that require all 3 users to be able to access and edit, and that automatically updates after edits with a log of version history (instead of manually having to upload the most up-to-date version to SharePoint, which is our current less-than-ideal situation).
My initial thoughts is to possibly use Amazon S3 Buckets for the Imagery and then AGOL for the Geodatabases (turning them into Hosted Feature Layers) - but would like feedback on if there is a better solution out there. The other solution we have investigated is a Virtual Machine (Azure) but is looking to be about $1,500 per month for that, so again would like to hear what storage solutions others are using before committing to something.
