My client wants to be able to use his database when working on site, so any data added there is also accessible to people in the office. I wondered if OneDrive could do this but it seems not. I see there's a WebApp option but have never come across it in use. Is this a possibility and what are the ramifications or extra requirements?
 
Does the user have remote access to the office network?

If so, consider splitting the database into a frontend and a backend. Host the backend (the data) on a share on the office network, and give a local copy of the front-end (everything else) to the users that need access. e.g
 
The most reliable and efficient is using a remote desktop to a computer in the office.
