What is a Storj Segment

Storj stores your objects in segments. Objects smaller than 64MiB are stored as one segment. Objects larger than 64MiB are stored in multiple 64MiB Segments.

Important Note

Configure your AWS S3 client library to use a larger chunk size. Not doing so could result in much higher segment fees. We recommend 64MB. To change the chunk size in the Amazon AWS CLI run

aws configure set s3.multipart_chunksize 64MB --profile default
