Best Cloud Storage Gateway Software in 2026

Cloud storage gateway software helps connect storage across local and cloud environments. Compared on cloud storage targets, supported protocols and deployment model, the entries also show features such as local caching, edge synchronization and global namespace. These details can help you assess how each option handles file access across your setup. Free-plan availability and paid-from pricing add cost considerations. Synology Active Backup for SaaS, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage and Hitachi Universal Volume Manager are among the options shown. Consider the storage targets and protocols you rely on, then weigh the deployment and synchronization capabilities that matter to you.
