I don't know the details myself, but one aspect may be how many places your files are stored.

With B2 or similar S3 based storage, it's generally in one datacenter. But at least from what I've heard, stuff like Storj or Sia has an advantage from your files being stored over a large geographic area in multiple places.

that's true for B2, but not for s3. From AWS:

>your objects are automatically stored across multiple devices spanning a minimum of three Availability Zones, each separated by miles across an AWS Region

That makes sense with AWS S3 pricing, I had always wondered if it was more distributed compared to the cheaper B2, Wasabi, etc.
