• Akave Cloud integrates with Filecoin to deliver fast, sovereign storage with long-term decentralized durability for enterprise use.
  • Features like O3 gateway, DataDrop, and Snowflake integration enable seamless Web3 data management for businesses.

While data storage is still dominated by big names like Amazon and Google, Akave Cloud has chosen a different path. By integrating with the Filecoin network , they are trying to change the way companies store and manage data—without sacrificing speed or control over the data itself. Yes, this project is not just a dream. They are actually building infrastructure that could be a real alternative to traditional cloud storage.

Through a gateway called O3, Akave allows companies to access a decentralized storage system that is still compatible with Web2 tools. Users can upload, organize, and even encrypt data with a smart contract-based access control system. Everything runs on the Filecoin network.

They even offer high-level durability and storage costs that are claimed to be much cheaper than major cloud services. If you imagine it like Amazon’s S3 but with a blockchain flavor—that’s the concept.

Filecoin Powers Secure Storage from Smart Wallets to Court Records

But Akave is not the only one taking advantage of Filecoin’s potential. On the other hand, CNF has just reported that Magmar has also jumped into this network. Through their integration with Lighthouse, they’ve launched a feature called File Vault —a place to store encrypted files directly inside a smart wallet. The idea is simple: if you can store your financial assets inside a wallet, why not your important files?

The feature is designed to be censorship-resistant and is suitable for real-world applications, from important personal documents to institutional digital assets. In fact, it’s already being used in healthcare and government.

According to a recent report, Filecoin also helps DocumentCloud keep court documents and government records accessible even when the original site where the files were published goes offline. This isn’t just about technology, it directly touches on public trust in access to information.

Furthermore, earlier this July, we also noted how CryptoModels began storing their AI models permanently on the Filecoin network.

These models run directly on users’ devices without the need for backlinks (telemetry), meaning privacy is maintained and cannot be unilaterally deleted by a central entity. It’s interesting to see AI and blockchain working hand in hand, especially with an approach that respects user rights.

Akave Simplifies Cloud Migration with a Touch of Web3 Transparency

Coming back to Akave, they’ve also introduced DataDrop, a simple drag-and-drop interface to make it easy to migrate data from traditional clouds.

With this feature, users can move data from services like AWS S3 or Google Cloud without the hassle of a process, while still getting benefits like end-to-end encryption and on-chain verification. Imagine if companies could store files like they normally would, but every trace of it could be tracked and verified—without having to rely on a central server.

They also integrate Snowflake, so companies can do direct analysis of the data stored in Filecoin without the hassle of extracting it to another platform. This is where Akave’s approach shines: combining the old world of familiarity with a new, more open and transparent infrastructure.

As of press time, FIL is changing hands at about $2.25, down 1.34% over the last 24 hours, with a $1.53 billion market cap.
