There are 3 kinds of storages for a Internet/Smartweb Computer: ✨Private, similar to the home directory on a PC, that a CloudDrive will do; ✨Shared messaging, streaming and so on, which require decentralized databases; ✨Public archives & files, that maybe suitable for IPFS.

#Elastos Carrier is the network OS for the #Smartweb, providing unified programming APIs for ✨Vaults (private storage, including home NAS, GoogleDrive, OneDrive, DropBox, etc); ✨Hive2.0 (shared storage to support instant messaging); ✨IPFS (for Content Addressable Storage).

One cannot emphasize enough over the importance of having an opening system, such as #Elastos, for the #Web3. For example, Linux provides consistent storage APIs to app developers, so they don’t have to deal with different hard-drive protocols, e.g., SCSI, IDE, USB, TCP/IP, etc.
