Storj
Storj takes a radically different approach to object storage: instead of centralized data centers, files are encrypted, sharded, and distributed across a global network of independent storage nodes. With pricing as low as $0.004/GB-month, zero-knowledge encryption by default, and a S3-compatible gateway, it offers unmatched privacy economics for archival and compliance workloads.
