Hey there! That's actually a good thing to know. it's a long time we hear that: There is no cloud, it's just someone else's computer. That WAS true and it's actually talking about datacenters. when you upload a file on a traditional cloud storage, you files are actually stored in the data centers of property of this cloud providers, or more often rented by them.

Cubbit on the other side doesn't own nor rent data centers. It count on a network of nodes around the globe.

this means: - higher security: files are never stored on a third party place. The file is encrypted with a key that is generated on the client side, it travels encrypted to (data center in a traditional cloud) and is decrypted with a key generated on the client side by the recipient. The third parties that provide the service are not able to read the content of the file when it travels or when it is in rest. The cool thing about Cubbit is that in addition to this, the files travel via p2p, so they are never stored on a system owned by a third party but directly on the nodes of the system owned by the users.

- Greener: the usage of data center require an unbelievable amount of energy and is responsible for the emission of 110 million tons of CO2 every year. Cubbit don't use data center , but rely on the device plugged to be nodes. This does not require cool the system down saving a great amount of CO2 and energy.

- A datacenter need very high costs of building and mantainance. Cubbit doesn't use datacenter so it's ale to provide the service at a very effective cost

Imho cost of the infrastructure and cooling the hardware will be cheap.
