Option to store locally & Encryption

[L-Yvelin]

Hi,
I'm using your plugin for my project to store files on web3.
I was wondering if you would be interested in adding the option of storing the file locally on top of uploading it to the blockchain.
An option for encryption would be really useful, in my case it would be a necessity since I'm uploading sensitive information.
I'm asking since you know the project much better, but if you can't maybe I could try to do it myself?

Thank you for your answer, I'm really grateful for your work, it helps a real lot!

Hello.
Thank you for using it.

The files are saved locally in Strapi by default if no upload provider is installed.
Regarding encryption, I would suggest using lighthouse.

The strapi-provider-upload-ipfs-storage does work on unencrypted data similar to aws s3.

Dear alex and developers,

Regarding local storage, we're investigating how to use local storage in an IPFS Cluster. The requirement is that our app also work offline, so when online we may use strapi, but while offline we want to replicate data so that Internet connectivity does not affect our application.

Is it possible to do that with this plugin?
