Can anyone recommend a cloud hosting solution for 7 designers working
on Macs and primarily sharing Illustrator and Photoshop files? We
would need to have storage as a big part of this. I don't know where
to start. We're on Synology but it has been cumbersome for our needs
and we want to be able to do this without hardware if possible to be
more nimble.

Need more info. How much storage? Do you need apps? What apps do you
need? Can you just pay Adobe for Cloud Drive?

Keep in mind that when you get into multiple-TB storage, cloud quickly
outpaces local hardware.

You'd be better off asking in /r/sysadmin. This sub deals mainly with
on-premise DIY solutions and you say you don't want to deal with local
machines.

Only storage? If so, how much storage? You can send me a chat if you
like.

No reason to ask. They are already paying for the Adobe cloud suite
one would presume. Just purchase the storage they have and keep it
within the environment. When they grow large enough hire a consultant
for a small project/block time for a proper solution. Don't DIY it.

Wrong sub really. You’re after things that are specifically not self
hosted.

The easiest solution is to pay adobe more money for their cloud
storage.

Other solutions would include looking into SharePoint/onedrive/dropbox
etc.

Then there are cheaper solutions such as looking into hosted
Nextcloud/seafile.

Self hosted seafile is what we went for at work for video files. In
the end, you can’t beat on prem for storage density and cost. But we
had a 48bay server spare that we are using for storage so only needed
to buy drives.

If you have them on Creative Cloud Subscription, they have 1 TB of
storage included. Why not use this?

Why not use Tailscale on each endpoint and let them mount the synology
drive via SMB?
