Like the title, is it possible when we could storing data on blockchain ?

blockchain itself is itself data that is "chained" together using cryptography. you can have a blockchain that is purely used for storage of data. there are multiple altcoins that are currently designed to do this like filecoin for example (i do not know how well they work though i just know they are designed for this purpose, they may be broken).

if you focus on bitcoin's blockchain then the only "data" that you can store on it is transaction records and also a small feature called OP_Return outputs which allows you to store a small size data on the blockchain. i believe it is 80 bytes of data (and used to be 40?). it is basically a hash. for instance Bitfury is using this function to save Land Titles on the blockchain in Georgia.

Data can be stored on Blockchain and it's safe and trust because we can't change data after it has been recorded on blockchain's block. There are many Blockchain projects born with the purpose of Blockchain data storage. Such  projects can mention are Datum, Fluence, Memority.

What kind of data do you need to store? What are you going to use it for?

It has to be noted that a simple database could suffice for most requirements. They're also a lot cheaper to maintain and get support for. Blockchains only really serve a small niche, and it's probably best to stay away unless you know what you're doing.

As we days go by and we fill forms and others concerning cryptocurrency, we are storing numerous of our data on the blockchain technology. With cloud storage systems on blockchain too, our data are safe and secured.

Thanks so much for answering my question, so bitcoin can only storing a small capacity. Is there any way we can storing a song or a movie on blockchain ?

If I understand what you mean correctly, the sites you are looking for are here[1] "Scroll down the cursor*."

if you focus on bitcoin's blockchain, then the only "data" that you can store on it is transaction records and also a small feature called OP_Return outputs which allows you to store a small size data on the blockchain.

As an alternative solution, you can store your data anywhere and store its hash in the blockchain.

* Some of these sites do not work with me "everything blocked using my normal IP" you probably need to use VPN "will check it later."

I believe Enigma and Storj are made to fulfill that purpose although they are focused more on the security of the data you will store. Maybe in the future, there will be a blockchain implementation that will have the same functions as Google drive.

What kind of data do you need to store? What are you going to use it for?

Based on OP's quoted post above, maybe he is planning to store a file with a large file size or probably a backup image of his own PC(containing sensitive data such as his private keys).

Since entertainment industry had revolutionize, they already used blockchain to potentially break the ice for any trade and industry. If you're familiar with OPUS, as I think they had their crowdsale last year and it was successful, they're more likely on streaming musics in which break the music industry from centralized to decentralized that can give thousands of tracks per second.

And that I think the first step for entertainment industry to fully adopt the blockchain.

Read the full thread "https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4554177.0" in development and technical board. You will get the idea how expensive is to store the data in blockchain and not at all advisable at all.
Blockchain is not created for storing our documents leave them with the transaction data.

It's possible, but I think it's going to be a very long day, now that blockchain has grown but not widely available for all services.
