StorReduce
StorReduce is a smart data reduction tool that shrinks the amount of storage space your files need without losing any information. It works like a super-efficient digital packing service that removes duplicate copies of the same data across all your files and compresses everything to save money on cloud bills. It automatically finds and eliminates repeated chunks of data so that only one copy is kept, which can reduce your storage needs by up to 90 percent in many real-world cases. StorReduce accomplishes this by using affordable S3-compatible object storage as its foundation, treating the S3 bucket like a giant, scalable hard drive where it stores the unique data pieces. This approach lets you enjoy enterprise-grade deduplication and compression while only paying for cheap S3 storage instead of expensive specialized hardware.
Connection / Setup

Connect StorReduce to DiskSpace.sh
StorReduce is fully compatible with DiskSpace.sh S3-compatible storage. Follow the steps below to configure your connection.
Connection Steps:

Important: Path-Style Requests Required
DiskSpace.sh requires path-style URL format. StorReduce must be configured to use path-style requests instead of virtual-hosted style.
Example Endpoint Format:
https://s3.diskspace.sh/bucket-name/key
Example Configuration
Endpoint URL: https://s3.diskspace.sh
Access Key: AKIAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Secret Key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Region: us-east-1 (or leave blank)
Path Style: Enabled
Troubleshooting
- Ensure "Force Path Style" or "Path Style Access" is enabled in StorReduce settings.
- Verify your Access Key and Secret Key have the necessary S3 permissions.
- If connection fails, try setting Region to
us-east-1. - Confirm you are using the correct endpoint:
https://s3.diskspace.sh
