📖 Detailed Overview

The Storj Add-on empowers Filebob to offload file storage to the decentralized, peer-to-peer Storj network, giving you strong durability, geographic redundancy, and cryptographic security. Users upload, download, preview, delete, and set permissions just as before, but the underlying storage is handled by Storj’s decentralized object storage system.

By encrypting files before upload and splitting them into shards stored across nodes, your data remains private—only your Decryption keys give access. Administrators can configure bucket names, prefixes, lifecycle rules, and fallback behaviors (local caching or replication). The add-on reports usage and health metrics to help you manage costs and performance.
