How is blockchain used in cloud storage?
When a user uploads data, the decentralised cloud storage platform breaks the data into smaller chunks, then adds a layer of security and transmits it to the network. This process applies hashing functions, key pairs and transaction ledgers. Each chunk of data is stored decentralised, and even if there is an intruder, they will only get a small chunk of data that is encrypted. Thus, decentralised blockchain cloud storage can effectively secure important data.
