Earn money by sharing your extra hard drive space
What is DriveShare?DriveShare is an easy to use client app that will allow users around the world to rent out their unused hard drive space in return for Storjcoin X (SJCX).
How does it work?MetaDisk users will upload files they want to backup or share with others. To best protect your data, files are encrypted client-side on your computer before they are uploaded. Each file is split up into chunks which are first encrypted and are then distributed for storage across the Storj network, comprised of DriveShare nodes.
User Friendly - 1-Click StartOnce downloaded, the application presents a simple user interface where you can check your current balance and hard drive space statistics.
Just one click to earn money.
MIT Licence - Open-SourceDriveShare is open source software, powered by the
Storj network. You can contribute to the code development on
GitHub or share ideas with the community on
StorjTalk.
Cloud by the users - Power the CloudBy sharing your hard drive, you become a member of Storj, the next-generation Cloud Storage Network, where users are always in total control of their data.

Early Access Test Groups for DriveShare BetaWe have released the Early Access Plans for the DriveShare Beta, as announced on our forum and social media. Crowdsale participants get exclusive access to early farming software and applications.
Test Group A and B will be open only to crowdsale participants. Anyone can acquire 10,000 SJCX to participate in Test Group C.
There will be 3 Test Groups:
- Group A Crowdsale participants holding 10,000 SJCX - Not Rewarded (Late 2014)
- Group B All participants in the crowdsale - Rewarded (Early 2015)
- Group C Anyone holding 10,000 SJCX or more - Rewarded (Early 2015)
SJCX can be purchased at any time and be added to your address balance to be able to qualify for Test Group C. Also your original crowdsale address can be topped up to and over 10,000 SJCX to be eligible for Test Group A.
“Not Rewarded” means Group A will only be helping with testing and will not earn coins for sharing their storage. “Rewarded” means you will earn SJCX to share your free storage during beta testing (Groups B and C).
At the time of testing, make sure you use a SJCX or Bitcoin address where you control the private keys; we do not recommend using an address from an exchange. There may be a need to verify you actually own the address before you are allowed to be a tester. We are still finalizing the details and we will make more announcements when closer to the early release.
In the interest of clarity, if you have any questions or something isn’t clear please ask by posting on our Q&A on
StorjTalk and we will keep it in consideration when we get closer to release.
