One of your key feature is the security and (one may say) impenetrability of your storage. I don't think I will goes down to one-on-one comparison between you and other cloud storage services, but one that comes to my mind, though, will there be a fail-safe method? Like for example one forgot their password, or (in a very likely cases) the storage owner passed away with their files encrypted in your service, which the family or next of kin was trying to retrieve (with or without the belated's permission is not a matter to be considered in this case) said files. Will there be a method to facilitate this?

This is an interesting subject that we will surely deal with in our medium.
In short, if we have thought about it, we are aware of the problem and therefore we will implement a decentralized system of key management. But as value is added after the launch of the MainNet.
Well, to limit the topic, I am not talking the situation on philosophical view, so we can just leave it strictly on practical use, and I didn't mean to be rude, but I seems failed to grasp the main idea of your answer. Would you please explain again? Perhaps in a simpler and more direct answer
Of course you are not rude. You are right in your concerns, We are aware of this kind of problem.
What safeguards can be implemented without losing the spirit of decentralization and the importance of the custody of the keys?
As I have commented, the implementation of a decentralized key management system is being considered in the design phase.
But this feature will not be available at the release. It will be incorporated in future iterations of the development roadmap.
The way to recover access to files will involve a unique element that the user owns, for this we have considered a phone number or NFC smart identity card as it could be a modern passport.
So uhh... in other way, to put it bluntly, your team still have not decide what implementation can be used to safeguard an unexpected event such as the user passed away unexpectedly?
