File Storage · $0.17/mo
OVHcloud File Storage Standard is competitively priced at $0.17/mo per GB, but several object-storage alternatives offer lower per-GB rates ($0.01/mo) with trade-offs in retrieval fees and minimum retention periods. For true file-storage workloads requiring sustained throughput and IOPS, OVHcloud's performance guarantees (0.25 MB/s/GB, 24 IOPS/GB) are difficult to beat at this price point.
Slightly cheaper per-GB ($0.16 vs $0.17) and is true file storage, not object storage, so no retrieval fees or minimum retention traps.
Caveat: Single availability zone (Paris region) and SLA ranges 99.9-99.99% depending on tier; egress beyond 75 GB/month costs EUR 0.01/GB.
Dramatically lower per-GB cost ($0.01 vs $0.17) and 99.99% SLA if you can tolerate object-storage semantics and retrieval fees.
Caveat: 30-day minimum storage duration, early-deletion penalties, per-object 128 KiB minimum billing, and retrieval fees apply; not a file-storage product, so throughput/IOPS guarantees differ fundamentally.
Matches Azure's $0.01/GB storage cost with 99.99% SLA and is well-suited for infrequent-access workloads.
Caveat: 30-day minimum retention, $0.01/GB retrieval fee, egress beyond 200 GiB/month charged per-GB, and sustained-use discounts can be easy to miss; object storage, not file storage.
Nearly identical to Azure/Google at $0.0102/GB storage plus $0.0102/GB retrieval, with 99.95% SLA.
Caveat: Minimum retention period and per-GB retrieval fees; object storage semantics, not file storage; lower SLA than Azure/Google.
