GasFiles - Unlimited Private File Storage on Blockchain

Introducing Gas Files as the future of file storage. Gas Files has set to tackle the problems associated with digital file storage head on. Utilizing IPFS and our own private Ethereum Blockchain, Gas Files enables anyone around the world to store any number of files of any size without limits of security concerns.

Gas Files is a Decentralized storage network

This new architecture will deliver enhanced scalability, security and resilience.

Scalability - we will be able to scale into the Exabyte range and satisfy the storage needs of our users regardless of their storages requirements.

Security - the new architecture will be decentralized, therefore eliminating security threats.

Resilience - nodes will better communicate with each other if they go offline, ensuring user maintain access their data.

The Gas files decentralized storage network willl combine our own private Ethereum Blockchain with IPFS (Inter Planetary File System) to safely secure shards of encrypted files on our secure network.

A breakdown of the functions:

Login to Gas Files Platform using unique identifier
Upload files
Files are encrypted
Encrypted files are split into shards
Audits pre-processing is performed for each shards
Shards may be transmitted to the network.

Once submitted to the network they are stored securely on the Gas Files Blockchain.

The first step inthe process is to compress and store the file in hexadecimal format, which is encrypted and tha hash is sent to the Blockchain and stored securely.

There is a 32mb size limit per block so once the file is converted if it is over this limit it will be automatically split into shards before converted to hash and sent to the network.

Once the file is stored on the secure Blockchain it can easly be converted back to its original form and saved to the destination of the user choice :ie computer.

InterPlanetary File System (IPFS):

A new protocol, released as an open source project in 2014, that took advantage of the blockchain protocol and network infrastructure to create a permanent and decentralized method of storing and sharing file securely.

IPFS uses content addressable distribution protocol with a content address for each document that is "hyperkinked' to the data. Address in IPFS are directly linked to an exact and unaltrable block of content. A new content address is created if the content has been changed, which guarantees that no tampering of data occurs.

The mechanism is to take a file, hash it cryptographically so you end up with a very small and secure representation of the file which ensures that someone cannot just come up with another file that has the same hash and use that as the address. The address of a file in IPFS usually starts with a hash that identifies some root object and then a path walking down. Instead of a server, you are talking to a specific object and then you are looking at a path within that object.

Problem

The problems with digital storage/cloud storage are, but not limited to:

Size limitations
Privacy
Security
Cost

Solution

Gas Files solves all of the outlined problems. There are simply no limitation of size or quantity with Gas Files and our platform focuses on privacy and security utilizing the strengths of modren blockchain technology. Not having to rely on external serves or rent out space from other peoples machines we have very few pverheads which mean huge price reductions for our customers.
