    Correct - storage can be done on a PC or a server system - https://support.diode.io/article/vr156n18cf-is-diodedrive-un... . I personally run some of my personal Zones with a raspb…

    Those are mostly about using a pool of 3rd party storage for decentralized cloud-based storage, and the "clients" for them are more suited to a patient and tech-savvy person. Diode…

    Nothing wrong with using the CLI, but the CLI is a more general purpose tool for exercising / leveraging the Diode Network, while Diode Drive is tailored to file / folder sharing/c…

    We will be coming out with some easy backup-specific options in the near future - it is a pain today to have to bring on a second peer to backup.
