About This App
Stornox stores files for businesses the way Amazon S3 does, but the data stays on servers in India and the bill is in rupees. It speaks the S3 API, so tools that already back up to S3 can point at it instead. Its site names Veeam, Nakivo, Synology, QNAP, Rclone, the AWS CLI, Rubrik and Commvault. It is built mainly for backups and archives. S3 Object Lock makes stored copies write-once for a set period, and versioning keeps older copies, which is meant to stop ransomware or a leaked password from wiping a backup. Data is encrypted with AES-256, and you can pick which Indian data centres hold it, though the site does not name who runs them. Pricing, as listed on its pricing page on 2026-11-13 (GST extra): ₹1,500 per TB a month for the first 50 TB, lower above that, plus ₹400 per TB of new data written each month and ₹0.50 per 1,000 write requests past the included amount. The home page says there are no data-transfer fees, but the pricing page says retrieval, migration or setup charges may be agreed in the order form. There is no free tier or trial; you can start pay-as-you-go or ask for a quote. The company says it was set up in 2026, so it is young: check the order form's terms before moving large archives.
Honest Review
What works well
- S3-compatible, so existing backup tools such as Veeam and Rclone can use it
- Data kept on servers in India, in data centres you choose
- Object Lock and versioning protect backups from deletion or ransomware

What needs improvement
- No free tier or trial
- New in 2026, with no independent reviews yet
- The data-centre operators are not named on its site
- Charges ₹400 per TB for new data written, on top of storage
- Retrieval or migration charges may apply, as agreed in the order form
