Store all your memories!
The storage box is a robust solution for those seeking a balance between cost-efficiency and performance. Our Storage Box provides dedicated resources, ensuring consistent performance and reliability.
The "storage" aspect emphasizes the allocation of substantial disk space, which is particularly beneficial for businesses and individuals with high data storage needs. Since every user is a virtual user of the setup and not a linux native user, each user's data is isolated and secure, ensuring that your files remain private and protected.
What is SmokyHosts Storage Box?
A SmokyHosts Storage Box is a secure, high-performance storage solution designed to centralize your data backups, file transfers, and digital assets. Unlike traditional public cloud drives that force you into restrictive ecosystems, our Storage Box operates as a versatile, multi-protocol endpoint built entirely on custom enterprise infrastructure.
Which protocols can I use to transfer files to and from my storage?
Our platform natively supports a comprehensive suite of industry-standard file transfer protocols to match any workflow. For automated systems, command-line scripts, and legacy applications, you can connect securely using SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) or FTP/S (Secure File Transfer Protocol over TLS).
If you prefer to mount your storage space directly as a local network drive on Windows, macOS, or Linux, the platform fully supports WebDAV. Additionally, for casual everyday access, users can log in via our mobile app (coming soon). This app allows you to drag-and-drop uploads, preview media files, manage directories, and generate sharing parameters natively without installing secondary software tools on your local machines.
What backup tools and automated event workflows are supported?
the platform is fully compatible with popular, modern open-source backup clients including Restic, Rclone, Duplicati, and BorgBackup. You can schedule automated cron jobs on your application servers to encrypt, compress, and stream data directly into your storage space, ensuring an unmanaged, set-and-forget disaster recovery cycle.
How does the storage architecture scale as data volume grows?
Our platform accommodates business growth through both vertical and horizontal expansion paths without requiring service interruptions or architectural re-engineering. If your raw capacity needs jump, we can scale vertically by attaching massive, hot-swappable block storage volumes.
