This paper presents a pioneering web application that combines Inter Planetary File System (IPFS) and Blockchain technology to meet the increasing demand for secure, scalable, and decentralized data storage. The system utilizes locally-hosted Digital Ocean droplets as gateways, eliminating reliance on third-party companies and maintaining decentralization. By integrating blockchain technology, the application enhances security through transaction authentication and access permission management. It offers features such as access control, file integrity checking using IPFS hashes, and the potential for future enhancements like a custom cryptocurrency for transactions. This innovative system provides a practical, decentralized alternative to mainstream cloud storage services, ensuring data privacy, security, and integrity while granting users greater authority over their data.
