Search file share from office 365

Hi,

is it possible to search file shares in office 365?

or should I configure hybrid so the sharepoint on-premise will index file share and 365 will consume it as a result s

Since you can't create content sources in Office 365 you'll need a hybrid environment with an on-premises SharePoint Search service to crawl the file share content.  I just did this for a client at it works very well as a hybrid.

Ok,

thanks, and it works quickly?

can you send me some screenshots and more info? The thing is that there is only 365 so actually we don't need to crawl a sharepoint 2013 on-premise so the only motivation for hybrid is in order to crawl more content sources.

talking about 365 - did you customize the 365 search center design also? is it possible?

It was at a client, so I don' t have access to screenshots anymore.  But this Technet article goes through it step by step.

I understand that you don't need on-premises SharePoint for anything else, but its the only way to crawl a File Share.

Yes we did do some customization of the O365 search center.  Its all in the article.
