Spec score 7.9 #10 of 25 in Decentralized Storage Services

What it is

Storj provides distributed cloud Object Storage and Object Mount for accessing cloud files as if they were local. Object Storage is described as a drop-in AWS S3 replacement, while Object Mount works with S3-compatible storage and provides POSIX access without modifying files or requiring a gateway. Existing buckets can be mounted without migration. Storj encrypts data and metadata end-to-end, at rest, and in transit by default. Objects are split across tens of thousands of storage nodes, with tiers designed for 11 nines of durability. S3-compatible object lock and versioning support immutability and protection from accidental deletion. Listed integrations include Amove, Veeam, TrueNAS, Splunk, LucidLink, FileZilla, and Cyberduck. Customers use it for backup and recovery, media workflows, AI, and scientific work. Standard pricing is $7 a month per TB for storage, with 7.00 USD per TB egress and a 5.00 USD minimum monthly fee. A 30-day free trial is available; there is no free plan.
