For those looking for a more practical decentralized storage solution that you can use to build apps with today, take a look at remoteStorage: https://remotestorage.io/ https://remotestorage.io/ The client-side library acts as an abstraction layer for multiple storage backends, including DropBox, Google Drive, and remoteStorage servers, and handles client-side sync, caching and persistence for you. The remoteStorage server has multiple implementations that anyone can host and is based on an open spec. I don't think it handles encryption though, but it really should. Its mission is to allow users to "own their data", and that won't ever be true as long as storage providers can freely inspect and copy data belonging to their users. Hopefully that's something on the roadmap.
