RE: STORJ - Decentralized Cloud Storage on the Ethereum Network
Is it so that you have to pay for each of your own files you download from the cloud?

Hi @protoken,
It costs $0.015 GB per month and $0.05 GB a download compared to traditonal cloud storage markets $0.023 GB per month on Amazon Web Services and $0.03 GB per month on Microsoft Azure.
That's some interesting figures. I'm currently using Dropbox, but maybe I should consider moving some of my contents to Storj.
Are you concerned about the technology itself, especially the risk of actually loosing the content you upload there? I mean, is something unforeseen happens to a relatively new technology, who knows which consequences one might face.
Could be useful depending on your needs,
Storj has been working with Filezilla the past 8 months on developing an integration for their FTP platform which would bring 15 million users into the fold.
This is currently in beta testing and is unknown when it will be completed
As for current storage 25gb is free for 12 months I think is plenty for general needs.
Currently it doesn't provide the function to allow others to access your files, if that's your need.
Yes failure is always a possibility is the same with data storage is much less with crypto data storage solutions.
Extra security is provided with a decentralized model and risk is mitigated with Storj though their distributed node storage as opposed to central data centers with a single point of failure, one falling to an attack or catastrophe all data could be lost.
Thanks for the information!. I'll definitely look into Storj.
