slate VS space-desktop

One product I helped develop on top of Filecoin is https://slate.host, people would use it to upload photos, and then do archival on Filecoin automatically. It was really good for photos that you wanted to be on the public that you wanted to ensure backups.

Slate is even better than Dropbox.

You can try https://slate.host or https://files.chainsafe.io, What did you look at that was complicated?

Check out https://web3.storage and https://estuary.tech if you're a developer, or https://slate.host if you just want to search a very small snapshot of all the data, or https://file.app, an index I'm working on to get a better sense of price, storage capacity, and participants in the ecosystem.

Slate.host also generates an IPFS CID for uploaded files. What's the benefit of using Pinata, a "pinning" service, over Slate, a "hosting" service?

Slate: This is the world's first open-sourced decentralized storage system, which distributes your files across the Inter-Plantetary Filesystem (IPFS) rather than in a centralized network of storage clusters. The parent company, Protocol Labs, has a lot of exciting features planned w.r.t. secure storage, actually.

slate.host: The design is right. Problem 1: I made an account month ago, and now I can't login anymore because my password seems to be wrong, and there is no password-reset-option.. Problem 2: The version-state does not seem to be public-usable-ready. I think I even read about a warning of the Dev-Team to not save importend stuff on it.

If you haven't slate.host. Just dug that out of the docs and its kinda neet.

Currently the most promising product built on top of Filecoin is Slate https://slate.host/. I have tried that product but it’s not realistic that I would use it as my daily data storage.

To use it you can go to slate.host, space.storage, or files.chainsafe.io. Slate.host even gives you 4GB for free, and will start giving 50GB for free soon.
