RE: How do you like DLive now?

in #steem6 years ago

Well you need to take into consideration that we are trying to build a decentralized video platform. If we host all videos like vimeo does, how exactly does that make our platform decentralized?

OK, thanks for your reply! But what do you suggest if I like not to lose my videos in the long run?
Shall I upload them to DTube again, anyway, or must I save them at another place, as well? Do I I still need an additional centralized place?
I am not especially talented in making videos, but nevertheless some of them mean much to me as precious memories ... and I like to observe nature and secure these moments.

Concerning videos not running I read in one of your other comments that this problem has been solved (or at least improved a lot) since quite a while, right?
Also here I may not be up to date because I am not uploading videos so frequently.

A video file is just a video file. I don't know how big file wise video files are. But google does allow for file storage. I don't think they care what kind of file, they just have a limit on the amount of file space they give for free. So you get a google account, your wife gets a google account, then you have two places to store files. Google doesn't, to the best of my knowledge, delete files. Heck I have e-mails going back to the beginning of google.

If you run out of storage on google, you can always change your phone number and get another google account.

I think amazon also offers file storage, and a few other places they of course charge, but if it is just your files, it may be a reasonable fee.

Thanks for your reply!
I don't have a huge amount of video files anyway ... I just thought, maybe I could use a decentralized solution to save my videos, but it seems I have to choose a more conventional method as you suggested.
