What is SMB/CIFS?
SMB (Server Message Block) / CIFS (Common Internet File System) is a network file sharing protocol. It allows applications on a computer to access files and resources on a remote server. It is commonly used for file sharing, printer sharing, and other network services in Windows environments and is also implemented by other operating systems.

NFS
NFS (Network File System) is a distributed file system protocol, allowing a user on a client computer to access files over a network in a manner similar to how local storage is accessed. It is a direct competitor to SMB/CIFS.
AWS S3
AWS S3 (Simple Storage Service) is an object storage service offered by Amazon Web Services. While not a direct competitor in the same sense as NFS, its file sharing capabilities can be considered a competitive alternative for certain use cases.
Microsoft Office 365
Microsoft Office 365 offers cloud-based file storage and sharing capabilities that can be seen as a competitor to traditional SMB/CIFS-based file servers.
