I've heard good things about filecoin, but i haven't looked into it much.

From what I've read, you get paid filecoin for reliability storing and serving files on the network (Dropbox but decentralised)

Building a storage provider for filecoing isn't as easy as it sounds.

Minimum req is 8+ cores, 128Gb++ RAM + 256Gb++ NVME, and on top of that you need to buy filecoin in order to start providing storage as you'll need to stake it or something like that.

Their block history or whatever they call it is alone around 100Tb which you also need to be storing.
