Storage box

The storage box (a Hetzner brand name, similar offers exist at netcup as 'Storagespace', at OVH as 'NAS-HA') is cheap storage space on a highly available storage cluster, addressed not via the S3 API but via classic file-sharing protocols (SFTP, SMB/CIFS, BorgBackup, restic, Rsync, WebDAV). Price point: 1 TB at Hetzner from ~€3.50/month, 20 TB from ~€25/month — significantly cheaper than cloud object storage. Typical use cases: nightly server backups (BorgBackup encrypted + deduplicated), off-site copy of a NAS, large asset archives (raw video, photography), third copy for the 3-2-1 backup rule. Not suitable as a CDN origin (no HTTP frontend), no S3-style versioning, no multi-user permissions at bucket level.
