Network File Storage · $7.5/mo
DigitalOcean's Network File Storage is reasonably priced for managed NFS with included throughput, but several object-storage and block-storage alternatives offer lower per-GB costs if your workload tolerates retrieval fees, early-deletion penalties, or different access patterns. The $7.50/mo base fee and $0.15/GiB rate are fair for a managed file service, though pure object storage (Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle, OVHcloud, Scaleway) starts cheaper if you don't need POSIX semantics.
S3-compatible object storage with included APAC egress (until 2026) and no per-GiB base fee; ideal if you can work with object semantics instead of POSIX file access.
Caveat: Not a file system; requires application-level object API; egress pricing changes after 2026 in APAC regions.
Minimal base cost with 75 GB free egress per month; S3-compatible and suitable for object workloads.
Caveat: Single availability zone (Paris); egress beyond 75 GB billed at EUR 0.01/GB; not a managed file system.
Managed NFS-like file storage at 0.16/mo per GB, significantly cheaper than DigitalOcean's 0.15/GiB + 7.50 base fee for equivalent capacity.
Caveat: Provisioned capacity model (25GB-100TB minimum); egress beyond 75 GB free per month charged at EUR 0.01/GB; SLA varies by tier (99.9-99.99%).
Managed file storage at 0.17/mo per GB with 0.25 MB/s per GB throughput and up to 16,000 IOPS per volume; comparable feature set to DigitalOcean.
Caveat: Billed per GB-hour; APAC egress loses free status after 2026; throughput and IOPS scale with provisioned capacity.
Lowest per-GB cost (0.01/mo) for object storage; suitable if retrieval fees and 30-day minimum retention are acceptable.
Caveat: Not a file system; 30-day early-deletion penalty; retrieval and per-object 128 KiB minimum billing apply; requires careful cost modeling for access patterns.
