sia-lite-wallet-web VS siad

I have a Ledger Nano X and prefer to use it as I want to keep my coins for longer term in a cold wallet. I followed the How To, but it requires Chrome via https://wallet.siacentral.com/ (not Sia UI app on Mac OS). So I used Chrome to create a Ledger Wallet, linked it to the device and moved the funds over and it appears to be working.

https://wallet.siacentral.com/ ?

If you are still having issues with your wallet and only wish to move coins around, you can use the web wallet operated by one of our core developers at https://wallet.siacentral.com/.

If you are not wanting to wait for the SiaUI to sync to the blockchain you can use the Sia Central web wallet.

I would like to open my Sia Central wallet. To do so I go to https://wallet.siacentral.com/ and enter my passphrase.

You can use https://wallet.siacentral.com/ ( this works with a Ledger too).

I connect my Ledger to wallet.siacentral.com in Chrome, I generated an address, and when I try to receive funds to it by clicking the Receive button, I then Connect my Ledger, then I click Verify, choose Generate Address from Key #0, then it shows me Compare (1/2) and the key, but with no option to accept any current command or anything. The green Verify button stays highlighted as if it wasn't even clicked (i.e. it's not hanging), and nothing happens. Any ideas?

So... I went back to my desktop to see if I could still access my assets on wallet.siacentral.com there... and now it's rejecting my seed phrase. My desktop is also rejecting my seed phrase in the SIA UI. It's saying it's the incorrect password.

Kraken is both for great. If you don't like holding on an exchange you can either use the light wallet at https://wallet.siacentral.com/ or download the Sia UI at sia.tech (this requires downloading the entire Blockchain)

For example, decentralized data storage projects like Filecoin, Arweave, and Sia posted 50-100% user growth, providing blockchain-powered alternatives to AWS, Google Cloud, and Dropbox for distributed app data security.

Sia

If I'm following correctly, I believe this is basically what Sia does, although not optimized to be used directly as a media server (or maybe it could?).

Not sure what you aught to do, but I will say the 2 projects Im paying attention to are https://www.helium.com/mine and https://sia.tech/

For consumer storage, Sia, Storj, and Vult (on Züs) can be good options since they are architecturally lower cost because of the erasure code technology. But for enterprise storage, among the available platforms, there isn’t a direct competitor to AWS S3 except for Zus, and archive storage, Filecoin is the best alternative, and for consumer storage, Storj, Sia, and Züs offer better options for fast retrieval times.

As long as your needs are not beyond a TB, you can always consider something that does not require an actual "login" or a national currency, such as using SIAcoin (https://sia.tech). The cost for a terabyte hosted in two places often will cost you under the equivalent of $6-8 per month. It takes getting used to, but since it is blockchain based, it might even be possible for you to mine the means of paying for your cloud storage if what you actually need hosted is low enough.
