The whole company is sketchy

https://web.archive.org/web/20250318131517/https://www.osstorage.com/cloudPricing

There is nothing open source, their address is the iron mountain denver datacenter address

That page looks like it was directly ripped from https://wasabi.com/pricing, including the "Ball appliance" which appears to be a Wasabi-only product. This reeks of "I know a guy who does storage" and it's just a few open source products bolted to another storage API with upcharging and a corporate website
