Would you use a Decentralised file system? (lemmy.world)

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 think eventually many will be forced to organize, do business and socialize without using servers. It will involve decentralized file sharing.

So far there has not been a good reason fur many to use that strategy because there is no popular ecosystem and most use the far easier server modal.

But eventually, perhaps soon, there will be obstacles to hosting some types of sites and apps. Some legal, and some business reasons.

Then what you are doing will be more in need, so it’s good you are doing it
