Filecoin and its underlying protocol IPFS assemble the world’s knowledge and data into one big content-addressed graph (Merkle DAG), and attempt to make it accessible to any device, anywhere. This is great because it allows for all kinds of use cases apart from just securely storing and sharing files. It’s much more than an app: it’s an underlying protocol, rather than Dropbox on a blockchain.
