Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 1 of the 91 other file storage and sync services we grade
Nasuni is an enterprise file data platform that keeps files in object storage from Azure, AWS or Google Cloud and serves them as SMB and NFS file shares through local caches at each site. It targets IT teams replacing file servers and NAS arrays, and it is sold through sales or resellers with no published prices.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Nasuni, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It is sold through sales with no published price, and the cloud storage under it is a separate bill.
- 1
Best for replacing office file servers with cloud-backed file shares
Nasuni keeps files in Azure, AWS or Google Cloud object storage and serves them as SMB and NFS shares through local caches.
- 2
It runs on Web
Web.
- 3
UniFS global file system
A single file system over cloud object storage, presented as SMB and NFS shares with unlimited edge caching virtual machines.
- 4
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.
- 5
Multi-site synchronization
Files are synchronized across sites, with an optional Multi-Site Collaboration add-on that adds a global file lock.
- 6
A 1.6 GPA, above 1 of 91
That is against the other file storage and sync services we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 7
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.

The report card
Best for replacing office file servers with cloud-backed file shares
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Nasuni is for
- Fits if you have an IT team replacing file servers across sites
- Works for firms that already buy Azure, AWS or Google storage
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you are a small team or one person
- Skip it if you want a price, as none is published
- Watch out: cloud object storage is a separate cost from the license
- Watch out: web access for end users is an add-on and the term is 3 years
Good to know
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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
What you could not
- Files kept in step across devices without losing one.
- Storing and serving files for other people.
- A file manager working directly on your disk.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Nasuni’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
