What Is File Storage

What Is File Storage?

File storage is a data storage format in which data is stored and managed as files within folders. In the storage world, file storage is used by direct-attached storage (DAS) and network-attached storage (NAS) systems.?

If you’ve ever accessed files on a hard drive, your local computer, or a shared drive hosted on your company’s server, you’ve dealt with file storage. File storage systems provide readability and convenience for users.?

The primary tradeoff is flexibility and efficiency. File paths can be long and the rigid hierarchy of directories, subdirectories, and folders can become difficult to manage the more data you have to store.

The Benefits of File Storage

The benefits of file storage include:

  • User-friendly interface: A simple file management and sharing system makes it easy to? use across an organisation.
  • Easy-to-scale archives: Each file has a unique address and can be stored in a scale-out system manually or automatically.?
  • Data protection: File storage has been around for a long time, so there are many standardized technologies and protocols for data protection.
