File sharing apps and services help users to share and receive multiple files from other computers or devices via internet or a local network. These solutions can be used to share various kinds of files, such as documents, videos, and images. They are mostly used to download media files from the internet and in office networks to share project documents.
Common types of storage, transmission, and distribution include the usage of distributed peer-to-peer networking, centralized servers on computer networks, online- based hyperlinked documents, and manual sharing of transport media.
The advantage of online file sharing services, such as Dropbox, is that companies using the service do not have to support and maintain the data themselves. The information stored in an online file sharing service can be accessed from any device that has an internet connection, including smartphones and tablet PCs, and by anyone who is given data access rights.
Statement of the problem
As the online file-sharing and collaboration market grows, so does the opportunity for users and hackers to damage the data and reputation of firms.
The increasing use of mobile devices by employees is a key driver behind the adoption of online file-sharing and collaboration solutions at the corporate level. Security concerns is the most commonly cited reason behind this interest.
These security issues include data leakage, web-based threats and application-layer vulnerabilities.
Organizations also grapple with ongoing questions about data and regulatory compliance in an online file-sharing environment.
By way of summary, this platform seeks to solve these problems:
The existing platforms lack capabilities in many respects for instance in their storage, functions and usability. Also, the legal options available lack competition, data preservation for future generations is not enough, and finally the sticking issue of a limited free use in file sharing.
The solution
This is a solution to the sticking issues that have been identified in that it provides a legal and free to use digital file library that offers services for the society thereby giving a suitable search, access and share useful content online with copyrights properly done.
In more practical terms the team intends to make it real for users to access important free and paid content in a manner that is effortless and legally permitted, give incentives to content creators or authors and help group members to get paid for doing useful work in order to store digital heritage for the benefit of present and future internet users.
The set out intentions will be achieved by a scalable hybrid-decentralized community supported storage platform, correct and viable business model and a blockchain as a distributed, transparent and read-only database to help fast and micropayments, store copyrights, useful work done and reward distribution.
The platform intends to make use of what is already in place in terms of what we have in library creation principles and combine it with a new hybrid semi-decentralized technology, leveraging p2p fog network of web browsers for the purpose of cutting down costs and the inadequacy of centralized digital libraries.
Additionally, the project will concentrate on designing and sustaining a group of volunteers that will be required to upload, tag and do oversight on important files. The volunteers would be provided with incentives in form of the platform’s tokens.
