01What you get

Two kinds of space. One bill.

Both speak the same S3 language with the same keys. Use one or both.

Standard

FOR EVERYDAY

For files you open: backups you restore, photos, projects, your app's uploads. Read and write any time.

for backups · photos & projects · app storage

$4.49/TB a month, billed yearly · $4.99 monthly

Vault

Lowest $/TB

For copies you keep and hope never to need: the off-site leg of your backups, finished projects, old archives. Kept on tape. A restore from tape takes hours; allow up to 12 hours.

for 3-2-1 backups · archives · compliance

$2/TB a month, billed yearly · $2.55 monthly

Not sure? Start with Standard. You can add Vault any time.

02Pick your space

One box is one terabyte. Pick how many.

Cardboard boxes are Standard: files you open. Steel crates are Vault: copies you keep, put away on tape. Mix them, change them any time. The total is the whole bill.

7 TB holds about 1.8 million photosat roughly 4 MB a photo

03Connect

If it speaks S3, it works.

Most backup apps, sync tools and code libraries already speak S3. Give them our address and your keys. A few favourites:

Copy, sync, mount

Sync a folder, mount a bucket as a drive, or move everything over from another provider in one command. Walkthrough in the rclone guide.

shell

rclone config create stored s3 provider=Other \
  access_key_id=YOUR_KEY secret_access_key=YOUR_SECRET \
  endpoint=https://s3.stored.cloud region=us-east-1 \
  upload_cutoff=64M chunk_size=64M

rclone sync ~/photos stored:photos -P      # keep in sync
rclone mount stored:photos ~/mnt/photos    # use as a drive
rclone sync b2:old-bucket stored:photos    # leave your old provider

Encrypted backups

Encrypted on your machine before upload, deduplicated, incremental. Your password never leaves your computer, so we store bytes we cannot read. What restic, Kopia and rclone crypt each hide: the client-side encryption guide.

shell

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=YOUR_KEY
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YOUR_SECRET

restic -r s3:https://s3.stored.cloud/backups init
restic -r s3:https://s3.stored.cloud/backups backup ~/Documents
restic -r s3:https://s3.stored.cloud/backups snapshots

Drag and drop

Any S3 app works: Cyberduck, Mountain Duck, S3 Browser, Transmit. Add a connection with these settings, then drag files in. No terminal needed.

connection settings

Protocol:   Amazon S3
Server:     s3.stored.cloud
Port:       443
Access Key: YOUR_KEY
Secret Key: YOUR_SECRET

Scripts and cron jobs

The flags you already know, plus --endpoint-url.

shell

alias s3st='aws --endpoint-url https://s3.stored.cloud'

s3st s3 mb s3://ci-artifacts
s3st s3 cp build.tar.gz s3://ci-artifacts/v1.4.2/

Any AWS SDK

Python, JavaScript, Go, Rust, PHP: set the endpoint, everything else is stock. No SDK of ours to install, and no lock-in to us.

python, boto3

import boto3

s3 = boto3.client(
    "s3",
    endpoint_url="https://s3.stored.cloud",
    aws_access_key_id="YOUR_KEY",
    aws_secret_access_key="YOUR_SECRET",
)
s3.upload_file("report.pdf", "my-bucket", "2026/report.pdf")

Also built in: version history, Object Lock (WORM), presigned links, scoped keys, webhooks and public buckets. Read the docs.

No meters. No API fees.

You pay for the terabytes you pick. Requests, retrievals and downloads up to your allowance are never charged, and past it downloads slow down instead of costing more.

05Straight answers

Questions, answered plainly.

What does S3-compatible mean?

S3 is the storage language most backup apps, sync tools and code libraries already speak. If an app can save to Amazon S3, it can save to Stored: give it our address and your keys.

Standard or Vault?

Standard for files you open. Vault for copies you hope never to need: it is tape. A restore from tape takes hours; allow up to 12 hours. Most people use both, and you can change the split any time. How Vault works on tape.

Where does my data actually live?

With established storage providers: enterprise S3 infrastructure for Standard, professional tape libraries for Vault. The control plane runs on our own hardware with daily database backups; your data doesn't depend on that one box.

What if you disappear?

It's standard S3: rclone sync your data out any time, free, no proprietary format. We commit to at least 60 days notice and free unlimited downloads. Every byte is readable with any S3 client, so your data outlives us too.
