File share storage gives you a simplified way to add a persistent storage to your instances that is easy to use, specially for sharing data between multiple instances.
The main difference with block storage is that it has an easier setup as it get's automatically mounted into your instance over the /mnt folder.
To provision file share storage, go to Storage, click + Create storage and select File share for the type field.
Select the region you would like to provision in.
Select the size for your disk. Currently, each file share storage has a maximum size of 15TB.
When creating a file share, you must provide a unique Name which will be used for the folder where it will be automatically mounted inside your instance. For example, if you named your file share "training-model" it will be automatically mounted on the /mnt/training-model folder after your instance is launched.

Currently, it's not possible to attach storage to existing instances or shrink/expand disk size.
You can list all file shares attached to your instance with ls:
You can write to any attached file share folders.
Your account has limits on the amount of storage that can be created per region. Contact your account team via Slack or email support@mlfoundry.com to increase your quota. If you do not see the Storage tab in the main navigation area, please reach out to be
