The difference between NAS and file server: Are they same?

There is a difference between NAS and file server. Network-attached storage is the full form of NAS. It provides the description and definition of the file server. It controls a mechanism of shared documents and provides access to them whereas File server allows a user to share data and information over a network. It's work is to handle the central storage and controlling of data files.
