Decentralized Cloud Storage (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hey just wondering if anybody has any experience in a decentralized cloud storage solution. Pretty much just a personal replacement of Google, Apple, and Dropbox services. I’ve been doing some research and it seems like a cool technology that I have not heard about until I went looking for it. So just wanted to know if anyone had experience with it, the pricing, and which one they recommended. Thanks you.

There's a blockchain version called Filecoin that is basically a combination of torrent file sharing mechanics stored in decentralized locations. The "coin" part is their workaround to sort of define the equity of hosting.

I haven't used it, just heard about it recently and it seems interesting.

Edit: Now that I think about it, it's just big Syncthing on the chain.
