SharePoint Online as a File Server

Ugh - Sharepoint of QB? Forget it (IMO)
Go with a local NAS with remote backup to something like Backblaze or such...If you want to use QuickBooks in multiuser mode, you need a Windows box to host the company file so that you can run the QuickBooks database manager for each version of QuickBooks company files you're hosting. For that reason, a NAS won't do.

I thought they had a version that runs under some Linux distro last time I had to deal with that junk. Just the server portion of course.

There is. When I think NAS box, I think commercial NAS box. I guess you could build a linux server and call it a NAS, but that's not what I was thinking of. If the commercial ones give you root access, I suppose you could install the Linux QuickBooks manager.

https://community.intuit.com/articles/1552445-install-linux-database-server-managerI'm right there with you. QuickBooks has problems enough of its own without involving two operating systems.

Two? Looks like the database only goes on one. No additional complexity. But solves some major licensing costs. Windows Server + CALs just for QB is pretty expensive.
