Auto Drive: Autonomys Network's Data Access Layer

Auto Drive is a decentralized content-addressed storage solution built on the Autonomys Network, leveraging its underlying permanent storage layer known as the Autonomys Distributed Storage Network (DSN). It provides users with a secure and efficient way to store, share, and manage digital assets with the assurance of long-term data persistence.
