## Choosing an Object Storage provider ## Choosing an Object Storage provider
You can create [Amazon S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/) or another S3-compatible object store like [Backblaze B2](https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.html), [Wasabi](https://wasabi.com), [Digital Ocean Spaces](https://www.digitalocean.com/products/spaces), etc. You can create [Amazon S3](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/) or another S3-compatible object storage like [Backblaze B2](https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.html), [Storj](https://storj.io), [Wasabi](https://wasabi.com), [Digital Ocean Spaces](https://www.digitalocean.com/products/spaces), etc.
Amazon S3 and Backblaze S3 are pay-as-you with no minimum charges for storing too little data. Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, and Storj are pay-as-you with no minimum charges for storing too little data.
All these providers have different prices, with Backblaze B2 appearing to be the cheapest. All these providers have different prices, with Storj appearing to be the cheapest (as of 2024-10, storage fee is $0.004 per GB/month, and egress fee is $0.007 per GB). Backblaze egress is free, but for only certain users for up to 3x the amount of data stored. Beyond that you will pay $0.01/GB of egress.
Wasabi has a minimum charge of 1TB if you're storing less than 1TB, which becomes expensive if you need to store less data than that. Wasabi has a minimum charge of 1TB if you're storing less than 1TB, which becomes expensive if you need to store less data than that. Likewise, Digital Ocean Spaces has also a minimum charge of 250GB ($5/month as of 2022-10).
Digital Ocean Spaces has a minimum charge of 250GB ($5/month as of 2022-10), which is also expensive if you're storing less data than that. Here are some of the important aspects of choosing the right provider:
Important aspects of choosing the right provider are: - if a provider is a company you like and trust (or dislike less than the others)
- if a provider implements end-to-end encryption of your data
- a provider by a company you like and trust (or dislike less than the others) - if a provider has a data region close to your Matrix server (if it's farther away, high latency may cause slowdowns)
- a provider which has a data region close to your Matrix server (if it's farther away, high latency may cause slowdowns) - if a provider's infrastructure such as data center is centralized or distributed
- a provider which is OK pricewise - if a provider's price model is transparent (whether it includes hidden costs like minimum charge, minimum storage term, etc.)
- a provider with free or cheap egress (if you need to get the data out often, for some reason) - likely not too important for the common use-case - if a provider has free or cheap egress fee (in case you need to get the data out often, for some reason) - likely not too important for the common use-case
