Abstract: An essential component of the cloud storage environment is data security. Preserving very important user data in the cloud is critical. The Interplanetary File System (IPFS) offers a content-addressable block storage format for storing and distributing files in a distributed environment. It is a version-controlled file system in a peer-to-peer architecture. We have developed a block chain-based architecture to share the file utilizing content-addressable block storage in the peer-to-peer paradigm in accordance with an IPFS feature. We've developed a distributed storage architecture based on block chain technology and IPFS that secures the resource's immutability, integrity, and availability in order to circumvent the availability, dependability, storage overhead, and other problems associated with centralized service providers. In this system, we store the file on IPFS and the transaction-level addressable content (hash) on the block chain. The issue of a centralized service provider's availability, dependability, and storage can be successfully resolved by our suggested plan.
