Storj

Verified Jul 2026

Storj DCS is a decentralized, S3-compatible object-storage network that shards and encrypts data across independently operated storage nodes worldwide. A live GET against the real edge gateway, gateway.storjshare.io, returned a 401 without a token, reconfirming API-key (access-grant) auth over HTTPS, and a follow-up OPTIONS preflight echoed the request Origin in Access-Control-Allow-Origin with Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true, resolving cors from unknown to yes. The url was updated to storj.dev, which the old docs.storj.io/dcs/ path now permanently redirects to. Storj deprecated its free storage tier in 2024; billing is now fully usage-based with a $5/month account minimum, so pricingModel is set to metered rather than freemium.

Auth quickstart

  1. Sign up with the provider to get an API key.
  2. Send it on every request as a headerAuthorization: <key>
  3. The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
Stored keyNo key stored

Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
