I’m looking for a diskspace of possibly 1TB online

Edit: my idea is to use it like as an external harddisk for everyday stuff. Encrypt the disk, put my filesystem on it, mount it as external drive kinda. Never worry about backups or lost data etc, as the provider would take care of it

    Like others are saying, it depends on your requirements.

    I’m loving Storj as a cloud NAS. Basically I have a NAS with 8 TB of storage but if something goes wrong with that, I’m out of luck. What I did was copy everything to Storj then reconfigure the NAS to simply act as a local cache for it.

    This is great because I can share my media with friends and family while using client-side encryption and it streams FAST rather than relying on my residential ISP with slow upload speeds.

      How do you access your storage? Is there like a web front end? I thought Storj was more for backend storage?

        They have their own CLI tool (uplink) but it does have an S3 gateway.

        Yeah it’s geared more for backend stuff but I use rclone to both sync it and to provide a WebDAV gateway (it supports others but they didn’t work great for my needs).
