Which to pick
- Pick Chevereto when

- You want cheaper S3-compatible cloud storage spread across many independent nodes, or want to earn by running a storage node.
Side by side
Self-hosted image and video hosting software for running your own media sharing site with uploads, albums, user accounts and moderation.
The software behind the Storj network, which encrypts files, splits them into pieces and stores them on independent operators' nodes, exposed through an S3-compatible API.
The open-source edition is AGPL and many features are reserved for paid licences, and running a public upload site brings moderation and legal duties.
Most users consume the hosted service rather than this code, and the satellite components that coordinate the network are run by Storj itself.
