dAppBox internals
The dAppBox is a peer to peer network infrastructure, both for public usage (documents storage is permanent and public) and private usage documents are stored on the network and their presence (hash) is certified on the blockchain.
The dAppBox is a P2P network where all the user files are only stored in devices owned by the user. In order to facilitate the integration of the dAppBox with the iXXo blockchain nodes, iXXo cloud services can deploy the user P2P node on the cloud, while still guaranteeing that only the user can access this cloud-hosted P2P node.
In order to upload local files to the remote P2P personal node hosted on the cloud, a local software (in the user taskbar) can synchronize local folders with the remote personal dAppBox. Currently, this local tool (called the dAppBox client) is available for Windows and Linux.
The other features of the dAppBox are:1.
Block-level file copying . Files difference only are synchronized, guaranteeing performances similar to Dropbox (also implementing it).
2. File versioning: dAppBox keeps track of file versions and associated iXXo proofs are stored on the blockchain, so we not only have proof of authorship but also of document editing (who what when).
3.API: dAppBox keeps track of file versions and associated iXXo proofs are stored on the blockchain, So we not only have proof of authorship but also of document editing (who what when). It is perfect for collaboration on large files, as only the difference is synchronized between nodes.
