Decentralized cloud architectures are becoming increasingly popular. These architectures allow for cheaper, more secure, robust, private, and reliable features than those that centralized architectures can provide.
The traditional centralized storage model is used by all the “big name” providers including Google, Dropbox, Apple, Tresorit, ProtonDrive, Sync, pCloud, MEGA. Users’ data is stored on physical servers that are owned and operated by the cloud provider.
Decentralized cloud architectures are mainly offered by companies such as us, Sia, Storj, MaidSafe, Filecoin. Some of these offer client-side encryption, whereas some don’t.
However, that just isn’t enough when looking to truly protect user data, which is the core reason we decided to go the blockchain route. We want our users and their data to be fully protected.
Unlike any other cloud storage services, Internxt Drive client-side encrypts the user’s data and fragments it so that only they can access it. It brings all the benefits of the cloud without compromising your privacy.
