I still have my 150GB free account from Storj which I use for some backups so I can't speak from a paying customer perspective. From my experience, it's okay -- never really had downtime (at least I never noticed) and I couldn't say anything negative about it. It does have a "per segment fee" so just be aware of that.

Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

That segment fee is really hard to understand for a new customer
$0.0000088 per segment. Each segment is at most 64mb, so 1tb is at least 16k segments.
1 tb in 100k files is $5 per month instead of the advertised $4
Wow, that can add up really quickly. I've been playing around with the free tier for a bit to try and fully understand everything before committing to the move.
I am aware of the per segment fee. I've got mostly large media files to backup and plan to bundle all the small files together into a tarball to reduce the segment counts.
