About Gasfiles
Gas Files is offers something new and fresh in the world of data storage. Gas Files first converts a users file to hexadecimal then splits the code into shards and stores these shards on the blockchain. The actual file is nevers stored, therefore it is more secure, private and allows us to offer trully unlimited storage at a much lower cost to our clients.
Features
Unlimited storage, Privacy, security.
Technical Info
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 files securely.
IPFS uses a content-addressable distribution protocol with a content-address for each document that is “hyperlinked” to the data. Addresses in IPFS are directly linked to an exact and unalterable 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.
IPFS + Ethereum Storage:
We will create a simple datastore solution using IPFS and Ethereum. IPFS provides a convenient interface for distributed data storage, with a hash-based content address for reference to our file. This address will be stored in our smart contract on a private Ethereum Blockchain. To retrieve the latest data, we will fetch the address from our Blockchain and query IPFS for the associated file with GAS Files token transaction.

Gasfiles Reviews
GASFILES is a decentralized storage network that allows anyone around the world to store any number of files of any size without limits or security concerns.
PROS:
- Security: The Ethereum block chain and Interplanetary File System (IPFS) enables the users to store their files securely hence eliminating any losses associated with theft and hacking
- Resilience : The nodes will better communicate with each other in case they go offline ensuring that the users maintain access to their data easily in all situations
- Big data: The platform enables the users to store any amount of files easily with easy retrieval
- User friendly : The entry into the platform is very simple as the users are only required to sign up with secure identifier with 2FA( 2 Face Authorization) upon which they are able to access and upload multiple files
- Easy sharing : The platform enables the users to share files easily on their private block chain
- The team involves has a good skills in management with the CEO being James Vi being crypto currency enthusiast
CONS:
- The platform usable mobile application missing
- Then uses of the platform is not specified in in all the areas with different crypto currencies
SUGGESTIONS:
- The involved team should generate a mobile application supported by Android and IOS
- The token use should be specify the type of files stored
- Because there may be time differences in information updates, accurate information about each ICO project should be verified through its official website or other communication channels.
- This information is not a suggestion or advice on investing in ICO funding. Please thoroughly investigate the relevant information yourself and decide on ICO participation.
- If you think there are issues or problems to be corrected on this content, or if you would like to submit your own ICO project to be listed, Please email us.
