I'm the author of another option (https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash) which has a S3 gateway that expose itself as a S3 server but is just a proxy that forward your S3 call onto anything else like SFTP, local FS, FTP, NFS, SMB, IPFS, Sharepoint, Azure, git repo, Dropbox, Google Drive, another S3, ... it's entirely stateless and act as a proxy translating S3 call onto whatever you have connected in the other end

Is this some dark pattern or what?

I clicked settings, this appeared, clicking away hid it but now I cant see any setting for it.

The nasty way of reading that popup, my first way of reading it, was that filestash sends crash reports and usage data, and I have the option to have it not be shared with third parties, but that it is always sent, and it defaults to sharing with third parties. The OK is always consenting to share crash reports and usage.

I'm not sure if it's actually operating that way, but if it's not the language should probably be

    Help make this software better by sending crash reports and anonymous usage statistics.

    Your data is never shared with a third party.

    [ ] Send crash reports & anonymous usage data.
    

    [ OK ]

		There is no telemetry unless you opt in. It was just a very poorly worded screen which will definitly get updated with your suggestions update: done => https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/commit/d3380713...

		You're very conscientious, thank you (providing a separate link for UK readers). I hate that it's come to this.

Another alternative that follows this paradigm is rclone

I was looking at running [versitygw](https://github.com/versity/versitygw) but filestash looks pretty sweet! Any chance you're familiar with Versity and how the S3 proxy may differ?

I did a project with Monash university who were using Versity on their storage to handle multi tiers storage on their 12PB cluster, with glacier like capabilities on tape storage with a robot picking up data on their tape backup and a hot storage tier for better access performance, lifecycle rules to move data from hot storage to cold, etc.... The underlying storage was all Versity and they had Filestash working on top, effectively we did some custom plugins so you could recall the data on their own selfhosted glacier while using it through the frontend so their user had a Dropbox like experience. Depending on what you want to do they can be very much complimentary

		Monash University is also a Ceph Foundation member. They've been active in the Ceph community for a long time. I don't know any specifics, but I'm pretty sure their Ceph installation is pretty big and used to support critical data.

Didn't know about filestash yet. Kudos, this framework seems to be really well implemented, I really like the plugin and interface based architecture.
