One shared drive your whole organisation can mount — over SMB on Windows or NFS on Linux. No file server sitting in a cupboard, no capacity planning, no weekend migrations.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Host360 File Server exposes storage over the same protocols your systems already speak — SMB for Windows environments, NFS for Linux, containers and application servers. Existing mount points, scripts, backup jobs and application paths keep working.
File Server Capabilities
The usual fixes don't hold. Buying a bigger NAS just moves the ceiling. Moving everything to object storage breaks the applications that expect a filesystem path. What most teams actually need is the same familiar shared folder, without owning the hardware underneath it.
Access files across teams.
Restrict access by user roles.
Expand storage when required.
Manage storage resources
Select a file storage approach based on access requirements, workload type, and organizational needs.

Answers to common File Server questions.
A cloud file server provides centralized file storage that can be accessed by authorized users and applications over a network. It allows organizations to store, organize, and manage files from a single location.
Managed file servers are commonly used by enterprises, software teams, research organizations, media teams, and businesses that require shared access to files across multiple users or systems.
File storage organizes data using folders and directories, making it suitable for shared user access. Object storage stores data as objects with metadata and is generally used for unstructured data and application workloads.
Yes. Many business applications require shared file access for storing documents, application resources, logs, reports, and other operational data.
Access is typically provided through industry-standard file-sharing protocols and controlled using user authentication and permission policies.
