An experiment toward a fully decentralized cloud engine.
P2P networks can work everywhere, even on a censored internet.
Data encryption avoid surveillance.
Cost should be much cheaper than google drive, AWS or mega.
We store everything on IPFS, on servers of our federation. It's a mesh of user-operated nodes.
The node (that should be run directly on the client whenever possible) can store data, ask peers if they have the data, or even ask the Filecoin network for cold storage.
Everything could be duplicated into Filecoin, for access for everywhere.
The Safebook Drive software is Peer-to-Peer but cannot yet run on a phone or on the browser, as it require good connectivity and running go code
Users can run their own node on their device, custom or supported hardware, or delegate to community-operated nodes.
We could store a virtually unlimited amount of data on the Filecoin network.
It could be retreived by any gateways when not found on hot storage.
It's a good way of escaping censored internet and make it available from everywhere.
It should also be cheaper than classic storage providers (google, amazon, mega, etc)
