Hi Eric,
Hmmm I did a little bit of digging around with your OneDrive for Business idea, and was amazed that whilst I could share it on the web, it would not appear on my Onedrive for Business on the PC, never mind tablet.. Apparently the 'Share with me' files can't
be seen. I stumbled on this :- onedrive.uservoice.com/.../6325866-allow-folders-to-be-shared-co-owned-with-access-sy
Meltdown would be an understatement!!
The following being an example of the 'love' that MS are getting:-

This is ridiculous! Either make OneDrive for Business work as a business file server/sharing tool out of the box, or support Team Sites. It is not reasonable to expect users to keep all files on their local drives, and then "share" particular areas with
other users in an organization. Are you kidding me? Does anyone at Microsoft even USE their own products?
I need to be able to sync and share files with "insert cloud service name here" between users in an organization similar to having a file server. Individual user file storage is less important than organizational storage. How are you to do that? OneDrive
for Business Next Gen client doesn't support Windows 8.1 (who's on 8.0?) and doesn't support the ONE feature I am looking to improve on.
ODfB has been a nightmare, as has been the Sharepoint sync. I currently have multiple clients, including my own office who are unable to reliably store documents in the cloud with either. I'm going to move all my **** over to my personal OneDrive for now
until MS gets this worked out, or I might just pay for Dropbox since it works there.
What a waste of time the entire process has been - including the entire customer preview of the new client (doesn't support 8.1 WTF). Disappointing to say the least.
It doesn't matter how much storage you offer if you can't use the service. Copying and such over the website is completely useless. Just make it work please? I'm paying for the service, and have spent more time resyncing/clearing cache, copying files, then
it's worth for sure..... "
I feel their pain. As clearly what you are saying can be done one the Onedrive side, can't. And to be fair, MS are charging for a product that is clearly not fit for business in a business product. Which is a bit poor.
I'll have a go at your SharePoint idea as I have a TeamSite set up with documents in place, but I've not managed to find that 'magic bullet' that will share the site files down onto the local storage on the tablet. I'll let you know how it goes.
Cheers
