Cloud storage wasn't designed for Barcelona teams.
Most S3-compatible storage options are priced for global enterprises, not for a studio in Poblenou, an AI team in 22@, or a SaaS company serving European customers from a Madrid HQ. Every alternative on the market today comes with a real catch.
Egress fees compound silently.
AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure win the procurement conversation by default. Not because they offer the best value, but because nobody gets fired for picking them. A 10 TB Barcelona workload running on AWS eu-south-2 Madrid burns €790 a month in egress alone, and most teams never audit the line item until it is already out of hand.
Reliable, but the bill keeps growing.
Performance and compliance both suffer.
Wasabi and Backblaze undercut hyperscalers on storage, but neither runs an EU-sovereign region close to you. From Barcelona or Madrid, your traffic loops through Paris or Amsterdam. Latency goes up, GDPR posture gets murky, and your data sits outside European legal jurisdiction.
Cheaper storage, worse everything else.
Inertia is the most expensive option.
Storage gets reviewed quarterly, if that. AWS billing is opaque by design, switching sounds risky on a Tuesday afternoon, and benchmarking takes time nobody has on the calendar. Meanwhile the 23× premium keeps compounding.
The bill is a line item nobody owns.
Outside the tradeoff.
Every other option forces a tradeoff between price and performance. Fil One does not. The chart below shows where we land.
Each dot is one provider. Position reflects all-in cost per TB (storage + egress) for a 10 TB team with 10 TB of monthly egress, and measured sustained read throughput from Barcelona on a tuned parallel S3 client. Cost axis is logarithmic.
Your monthly bill, six ways.
A 10 TB team in Barcelona, delivering 10 TB of egress each month, running 500,000 object operations.
