Decentralise your storage

Users can store data in decentralised storage systems regardless of the data’s central silos. Further, decentralization contributes to greater privacy and security than centralised storage solutions. Furthermore, it utilizes a peer-to-peer network of operators and users to manage data.

As a result, it contributes to data security during storage and transport. It also made use of a blockchain-based system or a peer-to-peer network. As a result, businesses benefit from this spread function in a variety of ways.

Furthermore, decentralised storage systems recognize the following issues that traditional storage systems reject:

- Firstly, distributing data to multiple sources makes it more difficult to attack. — Additionally, encrypting files with passwords ensures that data ownership is real.

- Furthermore, the distribution of files into numerous encryptions is distributed across multiple nodes. As a result, it is impossible for an attacker to keep the entire file. It also provides efficiency in the use of current data, which reduces costs.

- Above all, having multiple copies of the data in different nodes helps to avoid bottlenecks on the central server and increases download speed.

There is a known consensus that decentralised storage and distributed storage are growing along with Web3 development as a necessary infrastructure for future Web3 development.

In this article, we will compare the advantages and disadvantages of 4EVER-Bucket with the decentralised storage products on the market in terms of basic product introduction, pricing model, target users and functional features, and try to summarize them objectively.

Bucket and others

It is true that different products have different positioning and target users, for example, like Pinata, Nftstorage from the beginning of the product form more close to the Web3 meta and NFT market, and as much as possible to provide NFT artists with more convenient services.

On the other hand, products like Fleek, Web3storage and Filebase are oriented more towards Web3 tech project developers, or Web2 developers with decentralised storage needs. So functionally, although they are all decentralised storage providers, the experience of using them is different.

First let’s take a look at Pinata and Nftstorage, the cartoonish design caters to NFT creators and project parties, as opposed to the completely free Nftstorage, Pinata uses a subscription payment model, in addition to the free 1GB of storage, the excess requires a subscription for upgraded features. With a subscription, you will get free CID uploads, global acceleration on 200+ nodes worldwide, exclusive image video optimisation and Submarining encrypted uploads, which Nftstorage doesn’t have — a great deal for the $20 entry fee.

So what is special about the Fleek, Web3storage and Filebase products if they are aimed at developers? Compared to Web3storage which is free 1TB storage, it seems that the difference offered by the other two paid products is CLI support and compatibility with AWS-S3. Why does AWS-S3 seem important? It is probably the most commonly used, go-to storage service given the features like extremely high availability, security, and simple connection to other services. AWS S3 can be used by people with all kinds of use cases like mobile/web applications, big data, machine learning and many more.

So when your product is linked to AWS-S3, the possibilities are endless. Filebase also supports subscription payments and storage data privacy protection, with a significant price advantage over Fleek.

What about Bucket?

Bucket is 4EVERLAND’s storage file system, the storage solution for uploading, storing, and retrieving data to IPFS, Arweave, and other platforms. It is actually quite simple to find out that compared to the common products on the market that only support a single IPFS protocol, 4EVER-Bucket supports both IPFS and Arweave synchronous storage, customizing the protocol of the desired storage on demand without having to have multiple accounts at the same time.

Also, from the website, it seems that 4EVERLAND also sets it up as a management of NFT media. But from the product itself I think it is more for developers. It supports UI, CLI, SDK uploads, S3, and can sync to the Arweave network with one click. Nodes with global acceleration, free 5GB IPFS and 100MB of AR storage — looks like a great beginners package.

Bucket is more like a collection of similar products on the market that nicely integrates the strengths of each platform for decentralised storage and complements their weaknesses and brings them to market at a more reasonable price.
