Microsoft 365 & Azure File Shares for Central Coast Businesses
CUT Computers is a local Microsoft licensing provider based in Long Jetty. We help small businesses, medical practices and vet clinics across Gosford, the Central Coast and Newcastle choose the right Microsoft 365 plan, move their files to the cloud and retire the ageing office server.
Talk to us about Microsoft 365What is Azure File Shares?
Azure File Shares is Microsoft's cloud file storage. It works like the shared drive on your office server or NAS, with mapped drive letters and familiar folders and permissions, but the files live in Microsoft's cloud instead of a box in the back room. It's a practical way to replace a file server with Azure. There's no server hardware to replace and no single disk that can fail, and staff can reach the same files from the office, from home or from a second site.
- Keep the mapped drives and folder structure your team already knows
- Snapshots and backup options help recover deleted or overwritten files
- Access is controlled with Microsoft 365 sign-ins, which helps keep patient and client files secure
- Storage grows as you need it, without buying a bigger server
Microsoft 365 plans and licensing
As a Microsoft licensing provider, we supply and manage Microsoft 365 licences for Central Coast and Newcastle businesses. We look at how your team actually works, then recommend the plan that fits instead of the most expensive one.
- Business Basic: email, Teams and web and mobile versions of the Office apps
- Business Standard: adds the desktop Office apps for Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint
- Business Premium: adds advanced security and device management features
- Exchange Online, Teams and add-on licences when you need them
We can also tidy up existing licensing. That includes removing unused seats, combining accounts bought from several places, and keeping renewals in one spot with local support.

Frequently asked questions
Can Azure File Shares replace our office server?
For most small offices that mainly use the server for shared files, yes. Your files move to Azure and staff keep using mapped drives. We'll check for anything else the server does before we recommend retiring it.
Which Microsoft 365 plan do we need?
It depends on whether staff need the desktop Office apps and how much device security you want. We'll review your setup and recommend a plan, whether that's Business Basic, Standard or Premium.
Can you move our existing email to Microsoft 365?
Yes. We migrate mailboxes, contacts and calendars from most email hosts and plan the cutover to keep disruption low.
Do you supply Microsoft licences?
Yes. CUT Computers is a Microsoft licensing provider, so we can supply, manage and renew your Microsoft 365 licences locally.
Is it suitable for medical practices and vet clinics?
Yes. Microsoft 365 and Azure File Shares give you controlled sign-ins, permissions and recovery options that help keep patient and client files secure. We set them up to suit how your clinic works.
