To identify market gaps and define a clear opportunity for Nebula, I analyzed leading enterprise storage and collaboration platforms, including Google Drive, Dropbox Business, Box, OneDrive, Egnyte, Citrix ShareFile, and Tresorit. While these tools address general file sharing effectively, several consistent limitations emerged across the market:

• Limited or absent multi-tenant architecture — enterprise organizations struggle to manage multiple clients, departments, or subsidiaries under one unified environment.

• Inconsistent permission models — most competitors rely on simplistic folder-based permissions that do not support complex enterprise access hierarchies.

• Fragmented auditability — activity tracking is often shallow, distributed across multiple views, or inaccessible to non-technical users.

• Weak collaboration support for large datasets — real-time editing and concurrent workflows degrade significantly at scale.

• Lack of contextual clarity — users often lose track of where they are working, which increases the risk of exposing data to the wrong workspace.

These insights shaped Nebula’s positioning around true multi-tenant control, advanced permission governance, strong audit capabilities, and collaboration workflows designed for enterprise scale rather than general team sharing.
