Secure your shared data assets
Share files across your teams and developers. Connect multiple CPU or GPU instances to the same file system. Scaleway handles the private network part between instances and filesystems by design.
File Storage
Empower your teams to collaborate and share files across multiple users and Kubernetes clusters with a fully managed, scalable file system.
Currently in Public Beta.
Scale with ReadWriteMany access
Support horizontal scaling by providing all instances simultaneous access to shared assets and logs. Avoid data duplication and ensure consistency across your entire cluster with native ReadWriteMany (RWX) support.
European by design
Keep your customers’ data in Europe. Built entirely on a Scaleway-designed technical stack, we guarantee true sovereignty from the infrastructure to the software level.

Typical File Storage use cases
Eliminate data silos by allowing multiple web servers to serve the same media, themes, and plugins simultaneously.
Perfect for auto-scaling WordPress, Drupal, or Magento clusters. When your traffic spikes and new instances spin up, they connect instantly to the shared file system with no file synchronization or rsync scripts required.
Optimize your CI/CD pipelines, media processing, and ML workloads. Enable multiple processes to modify or consume the same files concurrently without friction. Boost productivity for teams managing large-scale shared datasets.
AI inference at scale: Use File Storage as a single source of truth for model weights to enable fast deployment of large language models (LLMs) or computer vision models across multiple GPU instances.
Efficient fine tuning: Share datasets for parallelized training across multiple instances of your cluster.

Frequently asked questions
Public Beta quotas
During the free phase of the Public Beta (until May 31, 2026), the following quotas apply per Organization:
- Maximum number of filesystems: 2 file systems
- Total provisioned storage size across all file systems: 100 GB
This quotas will be increased in June 2026.
Do I need to provision a VPC for my filesystem?
No VPC needed. Scaleway File Storage provides a built in private network between filesystems and VM instances by design.
In which region can I provision filesystems?
Scaleway File Storage is a regional product currently available in the PAR region. A deployment in the AMS region is coming next in 2026.
Is File Storage compatible with NFS?
Scaleway File Storage is a file-sharing solution optimized for seamless communication between Instances and their hosts.
The remote connection to the storage backend is fully managed by Scaleway, making it transparent to the user. Consequently, there is no need to manually configure or connect via the NFS protocol. You benefit from the full range of filesystem features and high-performance capabilities without the administrative overhead of traditional network protocols.
How does Scaleway ensure the protection of my data in File Storage?
Scaleway ensures high-level security by automatically encrypting all data at rest on physical disks and routing all transfers over a dedicated, Scaleway-managed isolated network that remains inaccessible to other users and external interference.
How does Scaleway ensure data resilience in File Storage?
Scaleway ensures high availability and data durability by distributing your data across multiple independent storage nodes and disks within our infrastructure across one Availability Zone (triple replication). This architecture prevents data loss from individual hardware failures and ensures that your filesystem remains accessible even during routine maintenance or localized equipment issues.
Snapshots will be available for General Availability. Backup features and Multi-AZ High Availability will be delivered next.
