Hey congrats, the product looks great! Love to see the rise of e2ee tools.

Why did you all decide to go with Storj, a fairly centralized distributed storage aggregator, rather than a decentralized storage network like Filecoin or Sia/Skynet?

Who pays for the storage on Storj? For a tool to be decentralized, the user needs a means to pay a node directly and the ability to seamlessly move between providers, ie interchangeable and zero lock-in. Does Storj allow crypto payments and this type of mobility?

Also noticed the app runs on Firebase/Google, are there plans to move away from this?
