Azure File Share Authentication ADDS remote Clients

Hello all,
for a customer, we are working to a project to migrate documents from an on-premise storage to the Cloud (SharePoint Online and Azure File Share)
The idea is to move the "active documents" to SharePoint Online and the old documents in a Azure File Share
We have the ADDS synched on Azure thorugh Azure AD and we willplan to integrate Azure File Share with ADDS to manage the permission. We have seen the documentations and we have some doubs about the communication with the clients.

The documentation reported "Your client must have line of sight to your AD DS. If your machine or VM is out of the network managed by your AD DS, you will need to enable VPN to reach AD DS for authentication". This meand that the clients need to contact the Domain Controllers on premise for the authentication right? To give an example, if a client from home, without VPN connection with the on-premise, he tries to connect to theendpoint ofthe Azure File Share, the authentication fail and he doesn't access to the folders with the NTFS permission right?

Yes, the client would need to be connected with VPN otherwise the authentication would fail. There is a diagram on this page. I also recommend reading the overview page and watching the detailed video included which I believe covers your scenario.

Hope this answers your question. Let me know if you have any further questions and I will be happy to help.
