        abstract = {With the rapid growth of digital data, traditional centralized storage systems face challenges related to security, data privacy, single point of failure, and scalability. To address these limitations, decentralized file storage systems have emerged as a reliable alternative by distributing data across multiple nodes without relying on a central authority. This project focuses on the design and development of a decentralized file storage system that ensures secure, reliable, and efficient data storage. The system utilizes distributed architecture to store files in an encrypted and fragmented manner, improving data integrity and availability. The proposed solution aims to enhance security, fault tolerance, and transparency while reducing dependency on centralized servers. This paper presents the system architecture, working mechanism, and key features of the developed decentralized file storage system along with its advantages and potential applications.},
