Around 5 MB each. Refresh didn’t do it.
I’ve contrasted usingintermediate servers with an available alternative and explained the ways in which Dweb is better.
But with Safe-fs, I think we should compare also with something else, maybe YouTube? So which is better, upload to youtube or upload to sage-fs?

You may also need to delete the .json file with the peers on your end, because when the network is updated, sometimes old nodes lose connection. Today I was getting failed uploads with Dave until I deleted the cache.

I find it strange how hard it is for people to see that this is a problem not a solution.
Saying the data is on Autonomi and can still be accessed by someone who has been happily uploading it with an app on a server, which then disappears (or is even temporarily unavailable) is a terrible answer and I’m not going to keep pointing out why. I have said it more than once already.
If people here, including those building apps and putting them on servers, do not understand this, it is certain that regular folk won’t, and that they will end up losing access to data. Even people who do understand this will lose access because they are having to manage backups and they can also lose those. The point of Autonomi is to make loss of access to data extremely difficult, not repeat the problems we have already.
If you use Autonomi via Dweb if you have your private key, you have your data. That’s it, but if you rely on keeping track of links and addresses outside Autonomi, you will lose access to your data one day. We’ve all been there.
And even if you did keep a backup of this information, you have still got to know how to use that information to restore access, and there have to be apps already available, and which you can find, trust and use. This approach is such an awful option it astounds me that folk here are generally ok with it.

I mean, I feel the misunderstanding on the other side is that having the data that was previously uploaded from a server (or not) available on Autonomi makes it available to decentralized, locally hosted apps. Let’s not forget
It’s all just about if whatever app you’re using has the addresses saved or not. Either from a server or locally

You think I don’t understand that if the user has kept track of all the data they have uploaded, safely backed up all that info somewhere, and knows how to get it back and then use this to find another app and get access to that data they won’t lose it? Yeh, I get that.
What I don’t understand is why anyone thinks that’s a way to promote Autonomi, or for anyone to make use of it. Are folk here really happy to use Autonomi that way themselves or would they rather have apps that deliver the full benefits by running on Dweb? Do they want others to have experience the benefits of Autonomi?
If we want a good UX and for folk to experience the benefits of Autonomi, we need to deliver the benefits while continually improving the UX.
Creating Autonomi apps and deploying them on regular web hosting is actually harder for developers, and doesn’t deliver for users.
The developer experience with Dweb is excellent. Maybe give it a try, port SAFE-FS to it and see.
BTW I’m signing off for the weekend now.

Ok sorry I still don’t quite know what Dweb is. Looked into it a little bit and got stuck at the Browse Web screen and didn’t really know what was supposed to happen. It’s like anttp? Have a good weekend

If you look at how much crypto has been lost in the last 15 years, the probability of losing your private key and with it access to the data is not 0. You know a private key, you don’t own it, you don’t know how many people know it.
For me, Portals are perfect for public data. Once public, I don’t have to remember to write down data hashes. I use the portal’s search engine and find @saykor’s music and listen to it from any portal I choose. Different approaches for different needs.
If I also decide that I really like his music and want to support him and spend some of my SFSC tokens to promote it on the portal I can. Can a local app have such functionality?

Portals should periodically backup these public hashes and their metadata to Autonomi, so that if the portal goes down, we can use the backup and load it on a different portal. Link to the backup should be publicly known as well.
Hashes may be public but the important information is the contents of these hashes, eg is that a video file, music file, what is the name, etc, so that we can easily find it again.
Am I right or do I miss something here?

Under Linux, when I download the files, I do it without the extensions and the operating system recognizes them. Otherwise, yes, if we have backups with hashes and metadata, it would be great for importing from one portal to another.

Absolutely. Thats on my SAFE-FS roadmap with Appendable Data, which I’m still learning how to use
Then entire apps, and all their data, can be restarted from a single hash address

SAFE-FS App v3 Video player (decentralized) is released!
Streams directly from Autonomi network, inspired by Auto video player by @safemedia
Lots of smaller updates too. Auto-deletes (hides) broken files, due to ongoing network data loss issues, among other subtle improvements.
Upload videos and see it work!

Uploads greatly enhanced too. Now, if you have $ANT in your $SFSC wallet, it uploads twice as fast as it just estimates a very close amount of the $ANT required instead of making a 5-15sec network call to get the exact price quote. Which is practically fine, I think, because we are talking about the difference of $0.000001 to $0.000003 in most cases. And doubles upload process speed in most cases
EDIT: Also modified the system so that drag-n-drop, and file explorer uploads both offer Multi-File uploads at once. See updated image above

Get the Check your balance error, but I’ve loaded the wallet with 20 ANT.
I usually only load 1-3 $ANT maximum or so. Lasts a long time. But could you please take a screenshot? I tested many uploads before releasing that version.
Would help me pinpoint any issues

I thought this is impossible without some compiled binary code?
It’s more like creatively requesting video chunks based on what part of the video you select. Autotube is just a frontend web page anyway.
And ok I see, thanks. Do they work one by one for you? Or a handful at a time. I only tested maximum a handful at a time at once
