How does this set-and-forget technology work?

IPFS

In a nutshell, IPFS splits the uploaded files into smaller chunks and creates cryptographic hashes. It also receives a unique fingerprint called a content identifier (CID), which acts as a permanent record of your file as it is at that point in time.
