Just for everybody to be in the same page.
Blockchain is not used for distributed storage itself. Existing concepts like IPFS are used for this. Blockchain is used to confirm that someone is storing certain data and to verify it's integrity through an additional protocol.
From ipfs.io about Blockchain
>With IPFS, you can address large amounts of data and put immutable, permanent links in transactions — timestamping and securing content without having to put the data itself on-chain.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
