It's been a long time that I knew about cloud storage and decentralised storage networks but I have never for once thing that this use case will survive in crypto space because I don't see any reason for adoption. Now I guess I am wrong ..

File coin and Arweave are good example but I have a question in mind, anyone on here using this platforms for storing files? I'm still shocked they survive and doing fine.

Well they are not doing anything revolutionary but they are doing something. I am pretty sure those will get wiped some day but until then they will move with the markets. They have their followers and believers hyping them for free and since Filecoin raised almost $200 million in their ico they can just keep running this Circus As A Service operation no matter if it's needed or not. If they keep building their jobs will be safe and who wouldn't want to keep that up.

But maybe i am wrong. Maybe they have a killer app coming and i haven't paid attention but i wouldn't hold my breath.

Filecoin is a relatively new project but I don't think they will be with us long if they don't offer us such services that would be better than other traditional cloud providers don't.If they want to fight with the big guys it is a lost war without even starting but if they have some genius idea or killer app which I find this to be highly unlikely as their roadmap does not point to such revolution then most likely this is another Burst or Chia coin,sure they have something better to offer but in the end in a world where such service already exist it won't be with us long enough but that is just my opinion.
