This video will quickly outline how pinning services such as Pinata or ArWeave work.
Outline
Pinning Services 0:00 - 0:35
What is IPFS 0:35 - 1:30
IPFS is a distributed system for storing and accessing files, websites, applications, and data.
What does that mean, exactly? Let's say you're doing some research on aardvarks. (Just roll with it; aardvarks are cool! Did you know they can tunnel 3 feet in only 5 minutes?) You might start by visiting the Wikipedia page on aardvarks at:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aardvark
When you put that URL in your browser's address bar, your computer asks one of Wikipedia's computers, which might be somewhere on the other side of the country (or even the planet), for the aardvark page.
However, that's not the only option for meeting your aardvark needs! There's a mirror of Wikipedia stored on IPFS, and you could use that instead. If you use IPFS, your computer asks to get the aardvark page like this:
/ipfs/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco/wiki/Aardvark.html
TIP
The easiest way to view the above link is by opening it in your browser through an IPFS Gateway. Simply add ipfs.io
One of several competing crypto-powered cloud storage platforms, Storj allows any computer running its software to rent unused hard drive space to users looking to store files.
In this way, you can think of Storj as an alternative to cloud storage platforms like those offered by Amazon or Google. However, instead of a company owning and maintaining the software, Storj relies on software and a network of computers to manage its data storage.
