Storj is a decentralized, S3-compatible cloud object storage network that encrypts files, splits them into pieces, and distributes them across a global network of storage nodes. This repository contains the Go source code for the Storj v3 network, including satellite, storage node, and uplink client components.

Use cases

• store files in encrypted distributed cloud storage
• replace AWS S3 with a cheaper S3-compatible backend
• run a storage node to earn money from spare disk space
• back up data with end-to-end encryption
• serve files globally with CDN-like performance
• integrate S3-compatible tools like rclone or aws cli with decentralized storage

When to choose

• you want S3-compatible object storage with lower cost and egress fees
• privacy and zero-trust end-to-end encryption are priorities
• you need globally distributed, multi-region performance from a single upload
• you want to self-host or participate in a decentralized storage network

When to avoid

• you need strict vendor lock-in to a hyperscaler ecosystem
• you require small-file-heavy workloads with very low latency
• you need a fully self-contained on-premises storage cluster rather than a hosted network
• you need a stable Go module API - this repo does not follow semver
