dStor is global storage, storing seed copies of your data across multiple regions. Centralized cloud storage services advise their customers to host data in multiple regions but add more charges for each region you add. dStor is inherently all-region service with no additional costs. The more regions customers would have needed on another service, the more they save with dStor.
Decentralized cloud storage systems like Filecoin and Storj are storage provider marketplaces that force their customers to find and monitor their own storage providers within the marketplace. With dStor, the decentralized gateways constantly select which storage nodes are used based on our performance-improving algorithm. dStor monitors nodes to ensure they have all the files they are expected to hold.
dStor offers a single price regardless of volume so everyone gets the cheapest price, and can pay their monthly invoices using a credit card via Stripe. Other cloud storage systems complicate things. Between the multi-tiered pricing gimmicks of centralized systems and having to pay for decentralized solutions using specific cryptocurrency tokens with ever-changing prices, using the cloud is more complex than it needs to be. Until now.
