How to store media files in a central location?

Hi all I've been researching on Umbraco media providers and not sure if there's something for our scenario (I'm sure there is but maybe I'm not all that familiar with it). We have a number of Devs and each one stores media in their local PC. I'm hoping there is a better way where we could all connect to a central storage area to upload and point to this storage? In line with this I would like it when we have the site ready to push to live or another environment, there isn't much work involved when our site is hosted on our Azure environment? Hope someone could provide some guidance. Thank you

We have a setup with a central database and a file share where media is stored which works quite well. Some downsides with this approach: - We have to use VPN when working remote. T - If multiple devs make schema-changes (doc types etc) we have to be careful to ensure that this is committed to and pushed fast to avoid merge conflicts. Other than these things our setup is really nice.

@TigerMan if you have Azure access you could use a blobstorage to share the media, but then you should also do your dev work on a shared database (which I do on my projects, but opinions differ, it's a different dicipline) https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/extending/filesystemproviders/azure-blob-storage
not used but there on the marketplace.
