Frequently asked questions
If you can’t find what you’re looking for, send us an email and we will get back to you.
Where is my data stored?
We store everything in the Shadow Drive, a decentralized storage solution by GenesysGo.
Are my files private?
You can store public files and private files, we use Lit Protocol to encrypt your files, so only your wallet have the power to decrypt the data you upload, only you have the power to see, update and remove your files.
Can I delete my uploaded files?
Absolutely, you can delete your mutable files at any time, only your immutable files are stored forever.
Is my data safe?
Yes, your data is stored in a decentralized layer, so it is safe from any centralized attack or data loss due to the nature of blockchain technology.
What would happen to my files if Shadow Storage disappears?
Nothing, we don't store your files, they live in a decentralized filesystem, so even if we shut down the service, you will still be able to access your files!
Are there any monthly fees or subscriptions?
No, we don’t charge any monthly fees or subscriptions, you only pay for the storage you use.
How much does it cost to store 10 GB of data?
It depends on the price of the SHDW token, but it is usually around $0.25 per 10 GB, or $0.025 per GB.
How does this compare to Arweave and ArDrive?
The Shadow Drive combines the long-term storage from Arweave and the short-term storage from a regular storage provider, so you get the choice of storing your data forever or for as long as you want it to be stored.
Do I need to sign up using an email?
Nope, all you need is a Solana wallet, we recommend Phantom or Solflare.
