Storj was our original planned integration, but recent advancements in Swarm has made it a better option. Swarm works directly with the blockchain in relation to Ethereum Addresses, and this is important for a better functioning platform. Swarm opens up way more possibilities than Storj provides from a coding perspective. For example, a user using the Ethix Platform to run a organizational database at a swarm location 0xa3hf83 can then proceed to add whitelist for which users it wants to be able to access that database. The users then can login to the database using their ETH address included in the whitelist to even a ENS domain such as database.companyname.eth that points at the swarm location.

Simple aspects like this would require a lot more work to achieve using Storj. However, this in no way would stop you from using Storj on the Ethix OS, it would function exactly how it on any other Linux distribution.
