Cloud storage is simply storage that you can access anywhere, in short. Save files online, use laptops, mobile devices and other PCs to access files anytime, anywhere. It provides faster, easier and safer backup than traditional file storage methods such as bookshelves and cardboard files. Cloud storage supports personal use and business use. In this way, you can access your files and programs from any computer all over the world via an Internet connection. In cloud storage, hosting companies need to operate large data centers and operate people who need data to host data storage capacity.
Once the data is stored in the cloud, it will be placed in the data center. Cloud service providers do their best to keep the data safe and accessible, but what if nature has other plans? What happens if the data is located in a data center near Hurricane Katrina? What happens if ISP fails and can not access important content? Space Monkey 's peer - to - peer storage network brings solutions to these problems and brings unprecedented durability to the data. A local copy of the data is next to the Space Monkey device so you can access it even if the Internet connection is lost. If your device is lost, stolen or interrupted, your copy is stored on our storage network, so your data is safe. Also, since your data is encrypted and stored in duplicate via our storage network in a geographically different location, the file will not be corrupted by natural disaster.
Cloud storage has increased rapidly over the past 10 years, so it has never been easier to store large amounts of data in the cloud. For your convenience, you need to trust your data with your cloud service provider. You agree that they will handle it properly and protect it from hacking etc. Currently, Dropbox holds the decryption key even if the data is encrypted by an application such as Dropbox. Gaia proposes solutions that can be used without relying on existing cloud storage providers. Using pointer data from the Atlas network, Gaia can upload and download encrypted data from a storage application such as Dropbox. In this way, you have your own encryption key, and all Dropboxes see the encrypted data. When you download the file, when you leave the cloud storage and arrive at the computer, the Gaia software running on the computer will decrypt the file.
