Object Storage
17 providers in this category.
Object storage services hold unstructured data (files, backups, media, and static assets) as objects behind an S3-style HTTP API, with very high durability. They are the default for large, scalable storage that doesn't need a filesystem or database. The decisive factors are storage and egress pricing, S3 API compatibility, durability and availability guarantees, and region or replication options.
