TLDR The potential advantages of blockchain as a distributed file system (BaaDFS) include high availability and high data integrity. The BaaFS supports single-writer multiple-writer append-only DFS semantics, which has been widely used in existing DFSs such as HDFS and GFS. Currently, the blockchain network is designed for private use (as the target DFS is centralized), but it should be able to extend to public/consortium use with some modifications. A block of data is stored as part of a block, where the block consists of a list of write transactions, where each transaction is written.via the TL;DR App
