Interesting idea and question. Do you happen to know if file metadata is preserved by the network? For example, if a file created last year is uploaded and then downloaded, will the creation date of the downloaded file be last year?
For the simplest user experience and deepest network integration, I intended to use whichever hashing algorithm was native to the network. From Verifying uploaded files - #2 by neo and moreso Verifying uploaded files - #3 by Southside I assumed that was md5, although perhaps that’s incorrect? Nevertheless, if there would be value in it, the hashing algorithm Verifi uses could certainly be configurable, defaulting to whichever is native to the network.
