Damn, they have 15 users, to large for free.
I know Scott has talked about using SharePoint for something like this in the past. Or using a Wiki...
How about Bookstack?
https://www.bookstackapp.com/It works well if you design it right. But there is no ToC page. That would have to be separately maintained. But again if designed right you may not need a ToC.
OK - there's an idea... I'll take a look.

This is interesting - I wonder if it works with the included O365 version, or if you must pay for AAD p1 or p2?

Additionally - they would like a Policies and Procedures manual online - something that basically starts from a table of contents with links to whatever. This needs to be brain dead easy to update and add new pages onto. If editing the TOC is equally braindead simple, that's a huge bonus.
Wiki. Doesn't really get easier. If the can't use a wiki, there's nothing that they can use.

All of those things are wikis.

They want this generic user to have access to the OneDrive files mostly (if not exclusively) in a read-only mode.
This is not at all how OD4B or OD was designed to work and will only cause 10x the issues it resolves. You need to make that crystal clear. That is not what OD4B is for.

Using OD4B definitely becomes more challenging in this setup.
In the same way it becomes more challenging to drive your Honda civic across the ocean.

You can look into Azure File Shares

I'm not sure any solution fits the workflow here. Do you have a suggestion?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/storage-how-to-use-files-windowsCool thanks - I'll take a look!
It definitely seems more normal fileshare like than SP - though SP can be webdav mapped as well.Though - I'm curious where you'd see OD4B failing if the users are mainly using it as read-only?
