yes, pinning IPFS files is good enough FOR ME.

there are also services and nodes which will maintain pins for you, and the capacity for decentralized encrypted shards is fine.

There may be circumstances where I want the piece of mind to pay multiple nodes to store/retrieve encrypted shards of data. SIA nor STORJ seem to be it.

What you're now describing is a centralized system though, albeit an unnecessarily convoluted one.

which exists now and is free and more decentralized and private than fairly cheap alternatives
