The three components comprising the edge services are:

S3 Compatible Gateway

Storj includes a globally distributed, multi-region cloud-hosted Storj-hosted S3 Compatible Gateway.

Linkshare Service

The Linksharing Service is a globally distributed, multi-region cloud-hosted gateway for standard HTTP requests, for sharing objects with users via a web browser.

Auth Service

Both the Storj S3-compatible gateway and the Linkshare service leverage the Auth Service for access management via a registered Access Grant.\
