Thanks!
When a user uploads a Share through sunshare, 2 kinds of data are stored:
- Share metadata (such as share size, a list of the file hashes composing the Share, etc.) are stored in a web2 database. This content is used to access a Share on sunshare. It expires after the storage duration provided by the user. Once it has expired, no one will be able to access it on sunshare anymore.
- Share’s file contents are stored into the BTFS Network (On Sunshare BTFS Node + 2 Other nodes). They are stored for a given duration. Once the duration is over, the files will be removed from the Sunshare BTFS Node automatically, and they will be garbage collected at some point on the 2 other nodes as the storage duration is over.
There is currently no option to extend the storage duration.
