Datum Storage vs Filebase

Datum Storage is decentralized cloud storage running on the Datum Network, with access listed for Android, iOS, and API use. Datum Drive adds a virtual hard disk to a computer that behaves like a folder. The product says files are end-to-end encrypted and that users hold the key. Storage accounts attach to a Datum Identity, whose creation requires email and phone verification. For software connections, the service supports the Amazon S3 API format and custom S3 endpoints. After account creation, users receive a URL plus a key and secret corresponding to S3 access credentials; Datum recommends Signature Version 4 if a backup application offers a choice. Arq Backup for Mac and Windows is listed as tested. Duplicati, Duplicity, and Duplicacy are named as S3-compatible applications but have not been tested by Datum. The Datum ID app is listed in the App Store and Google Play for sign-up and credential and usage management, though the mobile workflow is described as coming soon. A free plan provides one terabyte for the first year. Additional storage is listed at US$3.99 per terabyte per month and is also described as coming soon.

Filebase provides S3-compatible object storage and IPFS storage through web and API access. Its S3 API handles uploads, downloads, listings, multipart uploads, pre-signed URLs and CORS, and works with tools such as AWS CLI and SDKs, rclone, s3cmd, Cyberduck, WinSCP, Veeam, Commvault, Synology Cloud Sync and TrueNAS. IPFS features include pinning, IPNS names, dedicated gateways, static-site hosting and IPFS APIs. A CDN is included, with bucket access routed through one global S3 endpoint. Server-side AES-256 encryption is always enabled and TLS covers data in transit. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 5 GB shared storage, 500 pinned files, 10 GB IPFS egress, free object egress and one bucket. Pro costs $7.50 a month and includes 500 GB, unlimited pinned files, 250 GB IPFS egress and 100 buckets. Enterprise pricing is volume-based and unlisted.
