Polkadot Native Storage Updates

I saw that you have a ticket for S3 compatibility, that would be nice: S3-compatible API · Issue #692 · eigerco/polka-storage · GitHub
I am using filebase.com currently to archive things, since it integrates with the AWS cli through S3 compat. But I would rather use something Polkadot powered :grin:

Another thing that I think is very useful is mounting it into the file system. I tried Sia coin (storage as well) a few times over the years and was always disappointed at how badly it integrates with Linux or MacOs. They do not offer a simple CLI where you can do sia mount --config-whatever.... --mount-path /mnt/archive. It could be very nice to have this, since it makes it usable for non-tech users as well.
As example, there is the ProtonDrive MacOs UI app which makes it a no-brainer to mount a remote drive.

We’re working on placing multiple pieces in a sector, support was there but there’s more to it than just “adding them”:

We fixed our uploads:

Added support for 512MiB & 1GiB sectors:

And work continues on P2P:

Hey Oliver!

We’re glad you took a look! Yes, S3-compat is up for research & implementation but not the priority right now.

About mounting, that might be trickier due to the way sectors are kept around, research will be needed to decide whether it would be feasible :thinking:
