I agree with you 100%. I just want something that stores files and works with SFTP and NFS out of the box. I get so annoyed every time I have to use S3 manually

I agree with you 100%. I just want something that stores files and works with SFTP and NFS out of the box. I get so annoyed every time I have to use S3 manually.
However, there is a post on this site that has become infamous in which a commenter questions the need for Dropbox when stuff like SFTP already exists.
- taspeotis 4y agoI’ve wondered how practical using Azure Files with SMB is. It also supports NFS. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/files-smb-protocol https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/files/files-s...
- LilBytes 4y agoSMB is absolutely terrible over latent connections. I don't understand how SMB could work unless there was geographical replication to nodes closer to you, with some kind of load balancing to change the endpoint you're using to be closer to you.
- taspeotis 4y agoYup, hence the wondering. They keep improving the protocol and I am hopeful that one day I might try it and be pleasantly surprised. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/file-server/file-server-smb-overview https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/file...
- LilBytes 4y agoI tried it a little less than 2 months ago across a suite of services, Azure, self hosted, AWS EC2 instances, and all of these same options again with WireGuard over the top (well, with Tailscale in this instance). Tragically it was still trash.
