Get Shared Access to Files with Alibaba Cloud File Storage NAS

This short article defines cloud file storage and the benefits of Alibaba Cloud File Storage NAS.

What Is Cloud File Storage?

File storage is a method of storing data on the cloud that provides servers and applications with access to data through shared file systems. As a result, cloud storage can be used with workloads that rely on shared file systems, and integration can be achieved easily without modifying code. Multiple users can gain access to a common set of files in the cloud with the help of file storage. It is a hierarchical storage system that provides shared access to users who can create, modify, read, write, delete, and organize them logically in a directory. File storage is extremely useful for sharing content across multiple servers.
