Dear Community, We’re reaching out with an important update about Storj accounts. What’s changing? Starting July 1, 2025, Storj will introduce a $5 minimum monthly usage fee for all accounts. This helps cover the cost of payment processing and basic operations so we can continue offering fast, se…

Why a minimum monthly fee? That doesn’t make any sense for me. There are better ways to handle this for this. Why not make a minimum charge, deplete that money and then charge again. Make it sort of like a prepaid system for small accounts. That would be better than charge monthly 5 USD for like 1 c…

It’s not that the situation is desperate, it’s the fact that storj always acts as if the sky will fall on our heads in the next couple of hours. In the end, they always wait up to the absolute last minute to act, giving the impression that it’s either this change or the world will end. It’s a very …

I was backing up identical content to both BackBlaze and StorJ over S3 (for redundancy and experimentation). Both were averaging around $1/mo for my content. With this change it becomes very obvious which is more affordable (not that I really care about $5/mo). Now my BackBlaze charge remains at …

When Storj test in production without prior notice, and causing problems. [image] I don't see most of my Folders anymore Product Discussions Hey Folks, I’m kinda nervous. About 2 hrs. ago it first appeared, from one moment to the other I wasn’t able to list like 95% of my…

If 5$/month is a must for small customers, but for token payments there is room for negociation, let’s put our brains together and suggest a viable option until they suddenly decide to mess this too. I’m not a customer, just a SNO, but verry interested in keeping every customer and byte of data on …

Paying for something that I don’t use is something I don’t like. I am just a sn too, but I like prepaid more. Just say, that if your account gets negative a minimum of like 5 or 10 USD will be charged. Then use it up until the account gets negative again. It’s like they want to throw away anyone who…

[image] MarviBiene: And this will prohibited testing and implementing their services (I think) Companies at certain size are fine with throwing those 5 dollars for testing, not a problem. Tons of places that have >5 digit bills on cloud already. Where I work now, we routinely spend thousands …

Yes, big companies but not small ones. If I say, yeah we have to throw away money to test something, they for sure would say no

Would have to be very small to have a problem with five dollars. A developer would spend more in costs of their work time advocating for testing Storj than on the test itself.

I don’t know why we’re talking about testing: Storj still gives anyone a month free to try things out. And if you have a meeting with them and describe your needs they’re likely to throw whatever extra credits are needed at you to make you a customer. Companies looking for an affordable S3 provider…
