Like Filecoin has FilFox, does the Storj Network have a block explorer?

STORJ are just ERC20 tokens: so any ETH explorer will work.

Storj does not have its own blockchain network.
So what does a node operator operate?

STORJ tokens are not mined by node operators. The token is used to pay the node operators and customers can choose to pay with STORJ for storing their data.

Node operators run their nodes on whatever hardware they have available that complies with the minimum specs and is preferably already running and online for some other purpose. They share their spare hard drive space with the network to store pieces of the customers’ data.

I would suggest reading the white paper and documentation for more details about Storj.
