File Storage · $0.16/mo
Scaleway's $0.16/GB/mo File Storage is competitively priced but not the cheapest option available. Several providers offer Object Storage at $0.01/GB/mo, though those come with retrieval fees and minimum storage durations that may not apply to Scaleway's file storage use case. The choice depends on your access patterns and whether you need NFS-style file sharing versus object storage semantics.
Nearly identical pricing at $0.17/GB/mo with comparable performance (0.25 MB/s per GB, up to 128 MB/s max) and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Billed per GB/hour rather than per month, and APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026.
Half the price at $0.08/GB/mo for NVMe-backed volumes with no retrieval fees or minimum retention periods.
Caveat: Pricing varies by region (Amsterdam base rate shown); no published platform SLA; best suited for containerized workloads rather than traditional NFS file shares.
Dramatically cheaper at $0.01/GB/mo with 99.99% SLA and no egress charges within 100 GB/month free tier.
Caveat: Retrieval and early-deletion fees apply for objects deleted before 30 days; 128 KiB minimum per object; not a file system (object storage semantics instead).
Matches Azure at $0.01/GB/mo with 99.99% SLA and 200 GiB/month free egress to most destinations.
Caveat: 30-day minimum storage duration, $0.01/GB retrieval fee, and early-deletion penalties; object storage, not NFS file system.
Lowest absolute cost at $0.0102/GB/mo storage plus $0.0102/GB retrieval with 99.95% SLA.
Caveat: Per-GB retrieval fee and minimum retention period apply; object storage semantics, not file system; slightly lower SLA than competitors.
