Computers storage issues are as old as the computer itself and while the means of storage has changed over the last decade; going from small HDs to unlimited cloud storage platforms, there are still some significant improvements that need to occur before large-scale computer sharing platforms can really take off. Many believe by expanding cloud services to the public via blockchain-based sharing platforms, these problems can be addressed.Platforms like Filecoin offer a partial solution to the problems of cloud storage sharing but there are still hardware issues that must be addressed such as what if the person storing the data isn't online or their computer has a failure, their data is breached, the cat spills a drink on the pc, the list goes on. These are very real concerns and while platforms such as Sia encrypt all of the data stored; there are still ways in which this information could be delayed.One innovative approach to this problem would be to provide users with a hardware solution. In this way, you could streamline the entire process and ensure that the best possible results were attained by network users. The ULABS platform is the first player in the cloud sharing industry to provide such an option as part of their system. ULAB users are sent the UBBEY box.The UBBEY box solves many of the current issues plaguing the market such as securing data ownership, data recovery, and it can even mine YOU coins, which are the tokens used within the ULABS platform. This is a new concept that I think provides users with a better option when compared to bogging down their own PC directly.There are some inherent problems with hardware packages. For one, the UBBEY box will run you $199.00 plus, depending on where you live; there may be substantial shipping cost added to that total. Also, the UBBEY box comes in only two sizes 1 -2 Terabytes, which could prove to be not enough once the market continues to develop. At which point, ULABS will probably need to offer an upgrade that could potentially cost another couple hundred bucks.Despite these shortcomings, the ULABS project is further ahead in terms of integrating separate hardware specifically for use within the data sharing network. There could be fierce competition soon as you can expect more digital asset sharing platforms to emerge over the coming year and there is a good chance some will duplicate this feature in their own designs.The team behind the ULABS project is following Apple's approach to the market in that they are creating a human-centered design that provides users with a simplistic interface that is focused on user-friendliness. Combining their hardware option with an intuitive interface is sure to push adoption further in the marketplace. Especially when you consider that other options can leave a user needing to regulate their PC specifically to these services.Sharing your digital assets has always required some patience and research but thankfully, there are now a variety of platforms already making serious headway in this sector. From my research, these are the top blockchain sharing platforms at the moment.• Filecoin• Sia• Storj• ShareRing• ULABSSharing your unused data is a viable way to make some extra crypto and it appears as if this area of blockchain development is set to flourish. There is definitely a serious demand for this technology and the market is still virtually untapped. For now, the success of the market will depend on future innovation and implementation.
