🚀 Overview

The Storj Cloud Object Storage Add-On for FileBob is a seamless extension built to integrate FileBob — a PHP file-sharing / cloud storage script — with Storj’s distributed cloud object storage network.
It enables users and administrators of FileBob to offload and serve files from the Storj network (which is S3-compatible) rather than traditional POSIX or local storage.

This add-on is ideal for file-sharing platforms, SaaS file-storage services, or FileBob installations that want to leverage cost-effective, globally distributed, high-durability object storage with encryption and scalability.
According to Storj’s own documentation, their distributed cloud object storage offers up to “80 % less cost” than traditional hyperscale providers, while maintaining S3-compatibility. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Target users: FileBob administrators, SaaS file-hosting business owners, developers integrating advanced object storage back-ends, and enterprises seeking decentralized storage options for user-files.

Trust & Authoritativeness: Built on Storj’s certified distributed storage platform and leveraging FileBob’s architecture, this add-on demonstrates experienced integration of S3-compatible object storage within a PHP file-sharing ecosystem.

✨ Key Features

• 🔗 S3-Compatible Storage Engine – Connects FileBob directly to Storj’s object storage endpoints via S3-compatible API keys. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
• 📤 Upload to Storj Buckets – Files uploaded through FileBob are stored in your designated Storj bucket instead of local disk.
• 🌐 Decentralised & Global Storage – Benefit from the global distributed network of Storj, improving redundancy and scale. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
• 🛡️ Client-Side Encryption** – Your objects are encrypted and stored across multiple nodes for durability and privacy. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
• 💸 Cost Savings – Take advantage of lower storage/egress costs compared with hyperscale clouds; ideal for large file volumes. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
• ⚙️ Seamless FileBob Integration – Minimal configuration: within FileBob settings you define the Storj access key, secret, bucket name and endpoint. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
• 📊 Usage Logging & Metrics – Track uploads, downloads and bucket usage via Storj dashboards or FileBob logs (if implemented).
• 🔧 Flexible Deployment – Use with shared hosting, VPS or cloud; works with FileBob’s existing file schema and Storj’s object storage model.

⚙️ Technical Stack

• Parent Software: FileBob – PHP file-sharing script (requires existing FileBob install). :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
• Storage Back-End: Storj Distributed Cloud Object Storage (S3-compatible). :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
• Interface Layer: PHP SDK/ library for S3 API (e.g., AWS SDK for PHP) configured with Storj credentials.
• Database: MySQL / MariaDB (as used by FileBob) — module adds configuration table entries for bucket/credentials.
• Hosting Requirements: Linux server with PHP 7.x/8.x, cURL or equivalent, HTTPS enabled (Storj endpoints require secure context).

Expertise: This add-on is designed for developers or site-admins comfortable configuring storage back-ends, managing buckets and integrating with PHP scripts. It offers a robust object storage alternative to standard local or NAS storage for file-sharing platforms.
