EVE Frontier Shared Storage
Share a storage unit with friends, alts, or a small tribe. Anyone at the unit can take items and add their own through a panel that looks exactly like the game's own storage screen. No market, no prices, no access lists, no new interface to learn.
What is Shared Storage?
Shared Storage turns any storage unit you own into an open, shared container. It exists for the simplest possible need:
- Two friends starting out who want to pool ore and modules
- One player moving items between their own accounts
- A small tribe keeping a communal stockpile at their home system
Other sharing tools bundle in markets, pricing, and permission tiers. Those are great when you need them. Shared Storage is for when you do not.
Key Features
🖥️ Looks Like the Game
Item name, amount, ID, and how full the unit is. If you can read the normal storage window, you already know this one.
⚡ One-Click Setup
Sign in on EF-Map, pick your unit, press Enable sharing. One approval and it is live.
📦 Owners Just Drag
Everything in the unit is shared. Stock it and reclaim it by dragging items in and out in game, as always.
🔓 Deliberately Simple
No market, no prices, no membership tiers. Anyone at the unit can take items and add their own.
How to Set It Up
- Open EF-Map – Tools Library, then Shared Storage
- Sign in – your storage units are listed by name
- Press Enable sharing – one approval in your wallet and the unit is live
- Stock it in game – drag items in and out as normal; everything in the unit is shared
Prefer to stay in game? Copy the unit's link from the EF-Map panel, paste it into Edit Assembly on the unit, then press Enable shared access in the unit's own panel.
How Visitors Use It
- Open the storage unit in game
- The unit's panel lists everything shared: name, amount, ID
- Click a row, choose an amount, press Take
- Drag the items from the unit into your ship
Adding items works the same way in reverse: drag them into the unit, then press Share. The list refreshes itself every few seconds.
Part of EF-Map
Shared Storage is built into EF-Map's interactive star map. Manage your units from the map, send the unit's page to friends as a link, and read the full story of why it exists on the blog.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I share items with friends in EVE Frontier?
Turn a storage unit you own into shared storage with EF-Map: open Tools Library, then Shared Storage, sign in, and press Enable sharing on the unit. Anyone at the unit can then take items and add their own through a simple panel on the unit itself.
Can anyone take from my shared storage unit?
Yes, that is the point: it is open by design, so friends, alts, and tribe-mates can help themselves without any setup on their side. Items stay in your unit until someone takes them, and you can place the unit somewhere safe. You can turn sharing off at any time and everything stays where it is.
Do I need to understand blockchain to use Shared Storage?
No. You sign in, press one button, and approve it in your wallet. The only cost is a tiny network fee paid in free testnet SUI, and the built-in help panel shows your address and links the faucet where you get it.
Can I stop sharing a unit?
Yes. Press Disable in the EF-Map panel and the unit goes back to normal. Items always stay where they are; other players just lose access.
