Decentralized, S3-compatible storage that encrypts and distributes your data.
Storj provides a secure, private, and affordable object storage platform that encrypts files, shards them, and stores them across a global network, while offering S3-compatible APIs for seamless integration.
Storj V3 delivers a distributed cloud storage solution aimed at developers and organizations that prioritize data privacy, durability, and cost efficiency. By encrypting data client‑side, breaking it into shards, and dispersing those shards across a worldwide network of independent storage nodes, Storj ensures that only the data owner can access the original content.
The platform offers an S3‑compatible API, allowing existing tools, SDKs, and workflows to interact with Storj without major changes. Users can deploy the solution via the provided CLI, test network, or S3 gateway, and benefit from transparent, pay‑as‑you‑go pricing. While the network’s decentralized nature provides high redundancy, performance may vary based on node availability and network conditions.
Ideal for privacy‑focused SaaS applications, cost‑sensitive backups, and large‑scale media archiving, Storj balances security with accessibility, making it a compelling alternative to traditional centralized storage providers.
When teams consider Storj, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Scalable object storage service for unlimited data storage and retrieval with high durability and availability
Massively scalable cloud object storage service for unstructured data (images, videos, backups) with high durability
Scalable object storage for unstructured data
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Secure backup for SaaS data
Encrypted backups are stored across multiple nodes, ensuring durability and compliance without managing infrastructure.
Media asset archiving
Large video and image libraries are sharded and stored cost‑effectively, with S3 API access for existing pipelines.
IoT data lake
Continuous sensor streams are ingested via the S3 gateway, providing scalable, encrypted storage for analytics.
Disaster recovery for web applications
Application snapshots are replicated globally, enabling rapid restoration after regional outages.
Encryption happens client‑side before upload; only you hold the encryption keys, and the network never sees plaintext.
Yes, Storj implements the S3 API, so tools like AWS CLI, Terraform, and SDKs work with minimal configuration changes.
Storj charges per gigabyte stored and per gigabyte transferred, with no minimum commitments or hidden fees.
Data is split into shards and distributed across a worldwide network of independent storage node operators, providing redundancy and geographic dispersion.
Storj V3 is released under the AGPL‑3.0 license, which requires source code disclosure for modifications when the software is accessed over a network.
