How it works would be at the bottom of the page labeled whitepaper (https://storj.io/storj.pdf), or you could have clicked on the link labeled Github (https://github.com/Storj/) to look at the code.

Storj is a direct competitor to Amazon S3. We don't have to educate the public, just the developers that need to store data somewhere.

Yes, I did already scan the whitepaper. The point is that there is no real information in the video that they title "How does it work?"

And if they are in fact targeting developers, then the video makes even less sense as devs will be far less impressed than laypeople.

27-30sec show the upload process and security, 45-51 sec down the download process and speed. The middle of the video describes the encryption process.

I disagree that its devoid of how does it work, but sure I could see someone wanted more info in the video. What do you suggest needs to be included?
