PKGBUILD is for uplink-c not sure if it should be named storj-uplink-c. Built to be GPL2 compatible [1].

So the attached work for you VStoiakin?

Filezilla works fine. At least simple actions like create the bucket, upload a file, download a file, delete a bucket work.

But there is an issue with a workflow. Filezilla accepts Access Grants only to work with Storj. Access Grant is "an encoded string that contains an API Key, an Encryption store, and the address of the Satellite storing the object metadata". An Access Grant can be generated directly in the web interface of Storj, but this breaks end-to-end encryption, because you have to provide your passphrase to the Storj JS code.

To satisfy end-to-end encryption rules, the CLI tool `uplink` [1] is required, which can generate an Access Grant locally with provided API key and passphrase. The AUR contains the old version of this tool [2].

I think adding this tool to the repositories is nessessary to complete Storj support.

PKGBUILd.storj is based on the AUR package storj-uplink updated to the latest version and builds all of the storj package.

usr/bin/identity conflicts with mesa-demos. I was wondering if all the binaries not starting with a storj- prefix should be renamed with the prefix.

Works fine for me.
I am just a user of Storj, so I need the `uplink` only. Did not test the other tools.
