I’m a bit naive to tech so what am I asking for?

At work I have a laptop & can access my “desktop” from my iPhone using “one drive”
My Father & brother want this for their own business.

A desktop with a big monitor that sits on old man’s office Desk, that either could potentially access to update spreadsheets etc from either iPhone when out & about or from iPad when sat in the comfort of their home living rooms.

Is this a standard offering from a computer store now, or does it require subscriptions etc

Thoughts suggestions appreciated

Yep, any PC with a web browser can do this using OneDrive, or indeed Google Drive. There are basic freebie versions of Word and Excel etc built in to OneDrive which will allow you to edit documents in the browser, and the phone/iPad apps should allow you to do the same.

As the documents are stored on the OneDrive servers, you can log in and access them from anywhere.
