How could a robust decentralised file system be useful?
Would you use one if one was available?
If so, to what use (storing, sharing, building apps on top of it, …)?
If not, are there some specific reasons like difficulty to set up, legal, you already use one, or other?
I’m making one and it is fully functional but adoption is not here yet so I’m trying to figure out why.
Cheers
Edit: I’m referring to a decentralised online storage, accessible from anywhere.

I ran a couple decentralized filesystems 20+ years ago on FreeBSD. It was cool but I didn’t find it was worth the headaches for my use cases as compared to spinning up a raid array and nfs exporting it.
Ah I see. So you had a local decentralised file system, am I understanding that correctly?
Sorry, I misinterpreted “decentralized” as “distributed”
No problem, they overlap quite the bit.
Yes, just on LAN. I’m having trouble recalling names. I think it was a project out of Cornell? No… CMU! It was “Coda”!
