Storj is a decentralized and open-source cloud object storage protocol.  

On Storj, all data is encrypted and broken into small erasure codes, which spawns a superior data transfer performance vs Amazon S3 and similiar.  

For developers, there is no need to worry about datacenter replication, as each hashed-object shard is distributed across a network of over 20,000 participating edge nodes and datacenters, and streamed in parallel.

You can learn more about Storj, and how it interacts with Hugging Face datasets here: https://docs.storj.io/dcs/how-tos/hugging-face
