A Google Drive Alternative for Protocol-Based Storage
If you need storage you can reach over SFTP, FTPS, WebDAV, Samba, S3 or Rsync rather than through one app, SDrive by ShoHost is an option. Plans give 1 TB for ₹399 a month up to 20 TB for ₹6,499 a month, with snapshots and file versions.
See SDrive PlansHow SDrive Is Different From an App-Based Drive
SDrive is a storage box: you get a set amount of space and connect to it with standard protocols such as SFTP, WebDAV, Samba or S3. Your own tools, scripts and file managers do the work.
That makes it a good fit when software needs to read and write files directly, or when you want plans priced by the terabyte in INR.
Full plan details are on the SDrive storage box page.
When SDrive Is the Better Choice
Your tools need a protocol
Backup software, servers and S3-compatible apps can connect without a special client.
You need terabytes
Plans start at 1 TB and go to 20 TB.
You want snapshots
Hourly, daily, weekly and monthly snapshots are included on every plan.
You prefer INR pricing
Fixed monthly prices in rupees from storage.shohost.com.
Things to Check Before You Switch
How you open files
SDrive is reached with protocols and the apps you already use, not a dedicated sync app.
How much you store
Pick 1, 5, 15 or 20 TB. Plans are non-refundable, so size up carefully.
Who needs access
sdrive-plus has 10 sub-users, sdrive-pro 50 and sdrive-scale unlimited.
How much you transfer
Monthly traffic is 2 TB, 10 TB, 30 TB or unmetered depending on the plan.

Protocols, Snapshots and File Versions
Every SDrive plan includes SFTP, FTPS, WebDAV, Samba, S3 and Rsync access. Snapshots run on hourly, daily, weekly and monthly schedules, and each file path keeps several older versions.
Plans use a soft quota (90%, or 85% on sdrive-scale) with a 48-hour grace period, so you get time to tidy up or upgrade before storage is full.
Is SDrive Right for You?
SDrive suits people and teams who are comfortable with file protocols and want large storage at a fixed price. If you mainly edit documents in a browser, an app-based drive may suit you better.
