The API does not provide any means for deleting the uploaded data. Also, there is no durability guarantee. This service looks like a scam.

Durability is one of the headaches you can ignore with a write only interface.

How do you figure? Looks pretty legit. Their storage imagery is a picture of multiple save icons... I mean, what else could they do to show how well they can store data?

It doesn't even use a blockchain, how can we trust it?
Re:Super Simple Storage Service by gemakelijk on Saturday April 09, 2022 @08:19PM (#30973378)
Blockchain would fit perfectly, since it is a write only technology. And you do get nice features at no cost like smart contract, NFTs...

Umm. The blockchain is WORM technology (kinda). You write once, but it can be ready by anyone.

This is a write-only resource…

Now, you could in theory store SHA hashes on a block chain to confirm that the files were written.

They could be storing to /dev/null. That's a very safe target, nobody can steal our data. Unfortunately it's technically not encrypted at rest.

A v2 feature might be e2e encryption, seems like that should be feasible

You can always encrypt it before piping it to /dev/null.
