The problem BLOCK STORE solves

BLOCK STORE can be used for ::

1. Team Collaborator/Project Manager ::

   1.1. Utilize the power of IPFS to share important files among your team members through a fully decentralized system.
   1.2. Files shared through IPFS are encrypted via Advanced Encryption Standard(AES) to provide total control as to who can access them.
   1.3. Files in a project are managed in an efficient and well defined folder structure.
   1.4. User can start a new project and send request to other users to join so as to work in a decentralized collaborative workspace.
   1.5. Any member of the project can access any file or folder of the project and can further share or delete it.
   1.6. Members can also chat and post their queries regarding the project.

2. Global and Peer-to-Peer(Encrypted) File Sharing App ::

   2.1. Files shared between two users are easily accessible due to Blockchain technology and protected through Public and Private Keys of the users using RSA encryption.
   2.2. IPFS allows for distributed storage of data that is immune to altering and forgery. Data stored on the IPFS network cannot be altered without changing the data identifier.
   2.3. IPFS leads to improved user experience in multiple cases. Content is delivered from the closest peers that possess a copy of the content removing the single-node pressure and improving the user experience.
