    Hello and thanks!

    Sorry for the delay, my PC had a nervous breakdown yesterday.

    The storage acceptance can be configured, but for now there is only either you accept anything, or you accept up to twice the size of your file (default).

    Also, there is a (configurable) limit where files are auto accepted, under 64Kb with a total size of 16GB.

    I’m thinking about other ways of brokering the deal, like high/low bandwidth, size of course and availability but that is work in progress.

    But today, for example, if you store your photo collection of 1000 1MB photos, with a redundancy of 10 (default) the median and max storage you’d need would be:

    Median: itemsize * redundancy = 1000 * 1MB * 10 = 10 GB

    Max: itemsize * redundancy * 2 = 1000 * 1MB * 10 * 2 = 20 GB

    BTW;

    You can store GB sized files, but it’s not very convenient yet (it uses lots of RAM and the app freezes up for a while) and you might not find someone to “trade” with.

    And it’s not yet battle proven, so I’d keep a backup to be sure. In the future, you just need your links, and if you have lots of links you can just put them in a folder store that on the network too (with a high redundancy!) and keep just one master link for a total backup.

    You can sub here for info and of course if you have more questions!

    Or just fire away here.

    Cheers!

    Hello and thanks for the feedback!

    Sorry for the delay, my PC had a nervous breakdown yesterday.

    Funnily I reworked the intropage recently to remove a lot of examples because I felt it cluttered up the first impression! What do you think about a sub section for that or would that be too easily overlooked? Also, as I have you on the hook here for the moment :-) what do you think about those examples:

    Chat

    Facebook-like

    Webpage

    Dropbox

    Wikipedia

    Backup

    Or maybe you have some ideas?

    For your questions, yes it does allow client-less sharing (guess you have to have your PC on from time to time though, but not at all always), but you can’t access the data from a browser. I’m working on a browser plugin to read the link files, but it has to be in javascript so there is some work to be done.

    I don’t know how Foldershare worked, but you can definitely share a folder with your friends for example.

    BTW, you can sub here for info and of course if you have more questions!

    Or just fire away here.

    Cheers

    Okay, please just hear me out.

    Decentralised Filesystem.

    That is what the future of the internet is IMO because everything is files and sharing files.

    You want to back up your photos? Buy a hard drive and put them on the decentralised file system. You want to check out photos from your friend? As he gave you access to his share folder on the decentralised file system, you can just go there and check them out. Without paying some centralised company.

    Decentralised file systems are impervious to company control. It will be our internet, to do with like we see fit.
