        abstract = {This paper presents a secure, decentralized file storage framework that combines facial-recognition–based biometric authentication with a MetaMask-enabled blockchain environment. The proposed system replaces vulnerable password-based logins with a privacy-preserving biometric module implemented on a Raspberry Pi. After successful authentication, files are stored on the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), and the associated metadata is recorded on the Ethereum blockchain through a smart contract. This design ensures immutability, transparency, and tamper-proof handling of user files. The system demonstrates how decentralized technologies, Web3 tools, and lightweight biometric processing can be integrated to provide a secure and user-controlled alternative to traditional cloud storage services.},
