3 Developments to Know that Led to Decentralized Cloud Storage

Decentralized cloud storage systems are also gaining momentum

Cloud storage has been evolving like never before. On the other hand, decentralized cloud storage systems are also gaining momentum.  These are used to store data on networks across diverse locations by groups of users who are incentivized to store and keep data accessible. And the servers of these systems are hosted by people rather than a single company. Most of the technology uses a decentralized cloud storage network for its storage capacity. Here are 3 developments that made space for decentralized cloud storage.

1 High-Speed Internet

Since decentralized cloud storage relies on storage, the availability of high speed and quality internet bandwidth is the key as it paves way for inexpensive technology where storage is accessed at a click.

2 Peer-to-peer sharing technology

Peer-to-peer networks help in storing and sharing data in a distributed file system. It allows the users to receive and host content. This system helps in maintaining many copies of the data with high access speed.

3 Cryptocurrency and Blockchain

Blockchain and cryptocurrency help people to transfer value between themselves in a democratized way without any central authority. This enabled the creation of payment and settlement mechanisms that are decentralized too.

Decentralized cloud storage is experiencing rapid growth and helping all streams to adopt and experience simpler ways of storing data.
