Abstract

The Ethereum blockchain was used to create the sophis- ticated decentralized application (DApp) known as Decentralised File Sharing and Storage (DFSS). The programme seeks to deliver a secure, decentralized platform for file sharing and archiving across a decentral- ized network. By utilizing the power of blockchain technology, DFSS offers a perfect substitute for traditional cloud storage platforms by offer- ing improved security, unmatched transparency, and full data integrity. The idea of DFSS is to completely give people control over their data while resolving the issues with centralization and the inherent dangers of third-party control. Users can upload files to the platform, which hashes them and distributes them throughout a decentralized network to dras- tically reduce the likelihood of data compromise, interference, or ser- vice outages. A crucial component of DFSS is the potential to securely share files with other users, which is built-in functionality that is directly contained within the smart contract. To assure user data security, the platform uses the most recent encryption standards and reliable secu- rity testing procedures. Along with careful internal audits and testing, in-depth security analysis and vulnerability detection are performed uti- lizing external tools like MythX and Slither. In essence, DFSS represents a substantial advancement in the field of digital data storage. In contrast to conventional systems, it offers a secure, private, and decentralized op- tion for file storing and sharing by utilizing the Ethereum blockchain’s features. The worldwide march towards a decentralized future is aided by DFSS, which opens up new options for data ownership and sharing. This ground-breaking platform is crucial in setting the way for the path for data sharing and storage that is transparent, safe, and easy to use in the blockchain era.
