We all daily use different cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox or one drive to store our files and share with our colleagues and friends.
What if i say that According to Googles terms & condition, Google does not own user-uploaded files to Google Drive, but the company can do whatever it likes with them.
Sometimes the users may also encounter down time or some errors in uploading the files in these centralized cloud storages.
The storage space is also very less in these platfroms.
To overcome all these problems, Today i am going to introduce you with the STORJ-DCS (Decentralized cloud storage).
Now let's get into some practical stuff enough of theory.
You can store files upto 150GB for free in STORJ-DCS.
We are going to upload files on storj cloud storage.
Let's talk how storj work before uploading the files.
When an object is uploaded into Storj DCS, it is default encrypted, split up into 80 or more pieces and distributed across thousands of diverse nodes and ISPs in nearly 100 countries. There is no single point of failure or centralized location meaning outages, downtime, bitrot, ransomware and data breaches are virtually impossible. If a node goes offline for any reason, your file can be reconstituted from just 29 of its distributed pieces.
