Storj
Storj is a decentralized cloud storage platform that allows individuals to rent out their unused hard drive space to store data securely. Instead of relying on a single company’s servers, it spreads encrypted pieces of data across a global network of volunteer hosts. When you upload files, they are broken into small parts, encrypted for privacy, and stored across multiple locations. This system enhances security, redundancy, and potentially reduces costs compared to traditional cloud services. Users can access their data anytime, and hosts earn rewards for contributing their storage space.
