- **Category:** File Storage & Sync
- **Made by:** Nasuni (since 2009)
- **Website:** https://www.nasuni.com
- **Runs on:** Web
- **Who should skip it:** Not for you if you are a small team or one person.
- **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026

## Pricing

Nasuni's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.


## Key features

- **UniFS global file system:** A single file system over cloud object storage, presented as SMB and NFS shares with unlimited edge caching virtual machines.
- **Immutable snapshots and recovery:** The core license lists unlimited immutable snapshots as built-in file backup, with self-service and IT-assisted recovery of files and folders.
- **Multi-site synchronization:** Files are synchronized across sites, with an optional Multi-Site Collaboration add-on that adds a global file lock.
- **Ransomware protection add-on:** A paid add-on offers edge detection, mitigation policies and targeted recovery of only the infected files.
- **Advanced Web Access add-on:** Per-user web access to files without a VPN, with password and expiry controls on shared links and Microsoft 365 web editing.

## Good for

- Enterprises consolidating file servers or NAS across many offices
- IT teams that want customer-controlled encryption keys over cloud-held data

## Worth knowing

- No prices are published: every item on the pricing page says to contact Nasuni or an authorized reseller for list pricing or a quote.
- Licensing is described as per terabyte per year on a 3-year contract paid annually; add-ons use fixed capacity tiers or a per-user fee on the same term.
- Cloud object storage from Azure, AWS or Google Cloud is used beneath the platform and is a separate cost from the license.
- Web access for end users is an add-on, not part of the base license.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 1.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Nasuni keeps files in Azure, AWS or Google Cloud object storage and serves them as SMB and NFS shares through local caches. It is sold through sales with no published price, and the cloud storage under it is a separate bill.

- **Value for money: C.** No price is published. Licensing is described as per terabyte a year on a 3-year contract, so it cannot be set against the category.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan or trial on record, and everything is a quote.
- **Features: C.** SMB and NFS shares over cloud object storage at every site. Web access for end users is an add-on, not in the base license.
- **Ease of use: D.** Local caches at each site and an IT-led rollout. No store rating on record.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, with Azure, AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft 365 behind it.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Nasuni you would be making files kept in step across devices without losing one. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 86 of the 91 other file storage and sync services grade higher.

- You could not: Files kept in step across devices without losing one.
- You could not: Storing and serving files for other people.
- You could not: A file manager working directly on your disk.
- You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
