The Cloud Storage

I am still using a USB flash drive. One of the major challenges over the years is to provide increasingly stronger, more powerful, more affordable, lighter, smaller, more reliable and safer computer support and storage media was. Each of us creates thousands of photos and documents, thousands of songs, thousands of ebooks, hundreds of movies, etc. are stored. We will save all of this content. Everytime, our hard drive is a larger storage space, USB drives are more powerful and faster but the real revolution comes from cloud storage.

In the past few years, cloud storage has become a powerful technology. Cloud storage is very popular by allowing users to save files online and access them anytime, anywhere. However, in order to be able to use the uploaded file immediately, the company providing the storage service needs to save the file on the external server, so it is at risk of hackers. In addition, because servers are centrally managed, government agencies may shut down them or obtain confidential information. Fortunately, services based on block chain based projects such as Filecoin, Storj, Sia can solve some of the above problems.

Cloud storage is everywhere. Google offers unlimited photo storage for free, Apple offers unlimited free storage and Amazon charges 1 cents per gigabyte cloud storage. As with many people in the field of encryption, Filecoin may argue that the novelty of decentralization makes their platform suitable for specific market segments. People can try to imagine who this market segment is. It is not even time to send data stored in the network, just by confirming that the "put data into DSN" transaction on the block chain takes several minutes. Actual trading hours are not clear and may not even estimate, but it takes about 10 minutes for transactions in Bitcoin to be added to the chain, Ethereum takes about 30 seconds to add. It is safe to assume that transactions may take several minutes, because you need to add a transaction before that for confirmation.
