Storj (Uplink / Storj Node)
Decentralized, end-to-end encrypted cloud object storage network
Overview
Storj provides a decentralized S3-compatible object storage network where data is encrypted client-side, erasure-coded, and distributed across thousands of independent storage nodes worldwide. You can run your own storage node to contribute capacity, or use the Storj network as a highly available backend for your applications. The open-source satellite software lets organizations run private Storj networks.
Where it falls short of Dropbox
- Running a private satellite requires significant operational infrastructure
- Native web UI for end-users is minimal; mostly developer-focused tools
- Token/payment complexity for node operators on the public network
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
