To be honest, who hasn't been坑过 in cloud storage? Files mysteriously deleted, data suddenly invalidated—those feelings of "censorship" really make people upset. Centralized cloud storage holds the power of life and death; no matter how encrypted, it's just a paper tiger—if they want to delete, they delete, and you can't even see a reason.
That's why many people are starting to use decentralized storage. The difference is actually simple: after you upload a file, you get the key directly, and true control is in your hands. Even the development team has no permission to modify your data—that's what real security feels like.
Imagine workers storing work documents or journalists safeguarding news articles—using this method, there's no need to worry about tampering or takedowns. Every file is tamper-proof and loss-proof, with full ownership autonomy. No matter when, your stuff is yours—this is true data freedom.

technically speaking, the "encryption doesn't matter" take here is kinda surface-level... but yeah, custodial risk is real. actual trustlessness requires verifiable proof of non-access, not just promises. most people won't audit the code anyway.

Decentralized storage indeed solves many pain points, but in reality, not many people actually use it.

Centralized cloud storage is indeed a pit, but is decentralized storage really reliable? Or is this just another project team's hype?

Having the keys in hand ≠ being completely secure; it still depends on whether node maintenance is lazy. The pitfalls of centralization are replaced by bugs in distributed systems; it's just a change in form.

Haha, been scammed times, really unbelievable
Sharing my thoughts late at night... Web3 storage is truly awesome, holding the keys yourself is the only way to feel secure
Centralized systems are just a joke, they delete your files without even asking
Decentralization is a bit more trouble, but at least you don't have to watch others' faces
