TIL: Attaching IPFS folder to a Stellar Account

A Stellar account can have arbitrary data associated with it through Data Entries. Don’t abuse it though. Each entry adds to the minimum balance needed on the account.
A lot of blockchains use IPFS to store documents in a verifiable way.
But I thought, wouldn’t it be great if people could see documents associated with a Stellar account for visibility and verifiability?
Attaching the hash to the folder in IPFS makes it so you can add items to it without having to update the value in the data entry every time something is added to it.
