CLOAD file upload feature supports large file segmentation, ensuring that files are stably and securely stored on the blockchain. Below are the detailed steps and important considerations for file uploads:
Open the Upload Window: In the file upload pop-up, you can add files by:
Dragging and dropping files into the upload window.
Clicking the Browse Files button to select files from your device.
Check Cycles Consumption: In the lower-left corner of the window, you’ll see the number of Cycles required to upload the file. Make sure you have sufficient Cycles; otherwise, the file cannot be successfully uploaded.
Confirm Upload: Click the Confirm Upload button to start the upload process immediately.
Segmentation: To ensure stability and security, the platform splits the file into 1MB segments. Each segment is encrypted and tagged, ensuring file integrity and security during transmission.
Distributed Storage: After segmentation, file chunks are distributed to multiple nodes. This approach enhances storage stability and reduces the risk of a single point of failure.
Upload Time: Upload time depends on the file size and network stability. Please be patient and keep the upload window open until the process completes.
Ensure Network Stability: Maintain a stable network connection during upload to avoid upload failures due to unstable connectivity.
Sufficient Cycles Balance: If your Cycles balance is insufficient, the upload cannot be completed. Check and top up in advance.
Failure Handling: If the upload fails due to network issues or node errors, the file segments become invalid. You will need to restart the upload process to ensure file integrity.
