# Storj Destination

This page describes the Storj storage destination

Duplicati supports backups to the [Storj network](https://www.storj.io) which is a large-scale decentralized storage network. The destination supports two different ways of authenticating: Access Grant and Satellite API.

## User interface

<figure><picture><source srcset="/files/Oi5z8fmmziWUnKTV6Gjh" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"><img src="https://2363712449-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F7cMJiGuXy340g9NzpxLY%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-2bbecc2915b1462f6332e60b5378d7ed3c5a22ab%2FScreenshot%202025-11-03%20at%2016.50.39.png?alt=media" alt="Configure the Storj destination"></picture><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

To configure the Storj destination, choose the satellite that you will connect to, then provide the access grant. The bucket and path can be used to control where the data is stored within the network.

## URL format for Commandline

### Access Grant

To use the access grant method, use the following URL format:

```
storj://
  ?storj-auth-method=Access%20Grant
  &storj-shared-access=<access key>
```

### Satellite API

To use a satellite API, use the following URL format:

```
stor://
  ?storj-satellite=<hostname:port>
  &storj-api-key=<api key>
  &storj-secret=<secret>
```

If the `--storj-satellite` is omitted it will default to a US based endpoint.

## Bucket and folder

To choose the bucket where data is stored, use the `--storj-bucket` which will default to `duplicati`. If further differentiation is needed, use `--storj-folder` to specify a folder within the bucket where data is stored.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.duplicati.com/backup-destinations/decentralized-providers/storj-destination.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
