Hi everyone! I’m part of a university research team at Loreley Lab, INRIA, France. We’re studying how people actually use decentralised file storage systems such as Filecoin, IPFS, and others.
We’re running a short anonymous/pseudonymous questionnaire about users’ experiences, motivations, pain points, and practical insights. It takes around 10–15 minutes and does not ask any personal information, or demographic information.

Separately, we also invite people to take part in online interviews (15-20 min), again pseudonymous and no audio/video recordings. You can sign-up in the end of questionnaire, or directly using this link: DFI research interview
We’d be grateful for any responses, whether you’re a regular user, builder, operator, or someone who has tried these tools and stopped using them. We’re also happy to share an anonymised summary of the findings with the community once the study is complete.
Thanks for your help!
