The importance of data storage has become increasingly important with the development of the Internet and the wave of digitization. In recent years, data security has been a constant issue for many cloud storage and user data providers, resulting in the loss of data held by individuals and businesses. For example, the massive data leak from Facebook users in March this year had a serious negative impact.
Today, the centralized cloud storage service raises several issues: first, security threats. Since the vast majority of cloud storage providers are centralized, their vulnerability to security threats and attacks have eventually led to data theft and loss. In addition, client encryption standards and centralized private management keys still cannot guarantee data confidentiality and security.
Secondly, there is data monopoly and vicious competition from large companies. Some companies use data analysis and sell the information to third parties in order to take advantage of the user's privacy. Data transactions lack transparency and users cannot really acquire complete ownership and control of the data.
Thirdly, users face risks of service provider downtime and operational suspension. This has often happened in recent years, causing hundreds of millions of users with no option to transfer data or deal with data loss.
With the growing need for cloud data storage and widespread concerns about security and privacy, centralized data storage seems powerless to remove these barriers. That is distributed storage providing a more reliable and efficient solution.
In a distributed storage network, users around the world rent their hard disk space to form a decentralized network, in which each disk represents a node of the network. The files that clients download are encrypted, divided into several fragments and stored in a network composed of a large number of distributed nodes. Compared to traditional centralized data storage, distributed cloud storage has features of high autonomy, anonymity, inviolability, low cost and speed. Users have strict data protection and privacy.
GalaCloud is the distributed encrypted cloud storage system built by the ZEEPIN team, which offers significant advantages over traditional solutions. Not only does it effectively protect data security, but it also has innovative meanings in its business model as well as its connection with DApps.
The GalaCloud project is supported by the "ZEEPIN Foundation ". It is a key element of the ZEEPIN ecosystem. Providing distributed storage and service for DApps, it is an indispensable part of ZEEPIN's public channel infrastructure. In addition, GALA functions as a shared staking proof for GalaCloud, which helps Gala achieve its largest application extension.
GalaCloud DESNet refers to the distributed storage system provided by GalaCloud, consisting of a basket of GalaHub nodes and GalaBox nodes. Throughout the distributed storage network, GalaHub distributes files, searching for the address so as to coordinate all GalaBoxes. Storing encrypted fragments of client-side files, GalaBox focuses on providing services for data storage, receiving download and storage requests and storing encrypted files received on its disk in a distributed manner. GalaBox can be obtained thanks to crowdfunding released by the ZeeFund platform. Users can insert a hard drive to join a distributed storage network for mining.
As it is distributed, it becomes a free space of centralized nodes where any third party centralized system or organization is useless. The user decides when and where to send or download text files, images, music or videos.
GalaCloud is decentralized and can store all files, shared and encrypted, in a distributed network. In addition, dynamic copies are generated simultaneously. Users are the sole owner of their data unless they share their private keys with other people.
GalaCloud, based on a "smart contract" from the Zeepin public channel, has adopted a set of standard management protocols. Since the nodes automatically operate in the network according to the standard protocol, trust based on the centralized system is replaced by trust based on the protocols. This creates a completely autonomous network.
All information, shared and encrypted, is stored in a distributed network and routed to each GalaBox distributed node. The fragments produce a hash that is automatically maintained by the nodes. In the case of fragmented redundancy failing to reach the security threshold, new nodes are generated and distributed to new data nodes. Users keep their private keys to themselves. Data loss never occurs unless users delete the data themselves.
GalaCloud is a ZEEPIN innovation, effectively integrating the data storage service and the sharing mode, which is reflected primarily in the mining revenue function. Users must pay with GALA tokens for storage space according to the GalaCloud management protocol. The GALA earned is distributed to each node that provides storage service and space, namely GalaBox and GalaHub. That is to say, by leasing disk space resources, global users get GALA tokens.
Another innovative feature of GalaCloud is its synchronization with DApps in the ecosystem. In an era of massive blockchain-based application flows, users are more demanding in terms of privacy and data security. GalaCloud will apply to the public channel ZEEPIN as an infrastructure based on a blockchain that can provide distributed storage and allows synchronization of data storage from multiple DApps. For example, ZeeRights source code storage would be seamlessly connected to GalaCloud, so as to provide a distributed, secure and encrypted storage service for creations.

Main advantages of GalaCloud
Distributed storage
As it is distributed, it becomes a free space of centralized nodes where any third party centralized system or organization is useless. The user decides when and where to send or download text files, images, music or videos.
Secure and encrypted
GalaCloud is decentralized and can store all files, shared and encrypted, in a distributed network. In addition, dynamic copies are generated simultaneously. Users are the sole owner of their data unless they share their private keys with other people.
Distributed stand-alone network
GalaCloud, based on a "smart contract" from the Zeepin public channel, has adopted a set of standard management protocols. Since the nodes automatically operate in the network according to the standard protocol, trust based on the centralized system is replaced by trust based on the protocols. This creates a completely autonomous network.
Disaster prevention (attack-proof)
All information, shared and encrypted, is stored in a distributed network and routed to each GalaBox distributed node. The fragments produce a hash that is automatically maintained by the nodes. In the case of fragmented redundancy failing to reach the security threshold, new nodes are generated and distributed to new data nodes. Users keep their private keys to themselves. Data loss never occurs unless users delete the data themselves.
