I support the idea of using Office 365's sharepoint capability to
store your backend tables.  P1 license is $6/month plus tax.  All
users can use this one license.  You need to adjust your tables to
meet sharepoint requirements.  Then load the tables to sharepoint.
Point your Access front end to the Sharepoint to get access to the data.

This has worked well for me.
