FileDrive Datasets Landing Plan is a project for onboarding more valuable public datasets onto the Filecoin network. Through several phases, we plan to bring 10 PiB data and promote 100 PiB storage power growth to Filecoin. 

About FileDrive Datasets

FileDrive Datasets is a platform to effectively connect the huge storage market that Filecoin has built with publishers of public datasets.
The Filecoin network provides reliable, secure, and affordable decentralized storage services, and FileDrive Labs wants to deliver these benefits to end-users by building a public dataset platform.
It is challenging to attract traditional Cloud Storage and Object-base Storage users to the Filecoin network and benefit from it. Developers in the Felicoin ecosystem, such as FileDrive Labs, need to face this challenge together.
As a member of the Filecoin ecosystem, FileDrive Labs has been insisting on developing useful tools to make it easier for users to store their data onto the Filecoin network. 

FileDrive Datasets has integrated a group of tools to provide storage service with the compatibility of both Cloud Storage and Object-base Storage and better user experience to attract more users.

About FileDrive Labs

FileDrive Labs has always defined ourselves as tool developers and infrastructure builders in the Filecoin ecosystem. From 2019, we continuously focus on technical solutions and development based on IPFS protocol and the Filecoin network and do our best to contribute to the community.
Over 80% of our team are qualified engineers, and half of them have more than 10-year development experience in multiple industries, including Communication, the Internet, and blockchain.
Since 2020, we have participated in Slingshot Competition, become one of the top teams, and stored over 5 PiB useful data from public datasets to the Filecoin network.
To contribute to the Filecoin Community, we developed an open-source data prep tool Graphsplit, FIL+ project dashboard filplus.info and storage provider discovery platform filfind,info.
Besides, we have also hold weekly online virtual events named FileDrive Meetup from March 2022, which aims to provide a platform for community members to grasp the latest trends of the Filecoin network and our work and research.

Describe the data being stored onto Filecoin

Smithsonian Open Access
- The Smithsonian’s mission is the "increase and diffusion of knowledge" and has been collecting since 1846. The Smithsonian, through its efforts to digitize its multidisciplinary collections, has created millions of digital assets and related metadata describing the collection objects. On February 25th, 2020, the Smithsonian released over 2.8 million CC0 interdisciplinary 2-D and 3-D images, related metadata, and additionally, research data from researches across the Smithsonian. The 2.8 million "open access" collections are a subset of the Smithsonian’s 155 million objects, 2.1 million library volumes and 156,000 cubic feet of archival collections held in 19 museums, 9 research centers, libraries, archives and the National Zoo. Digitization of collections is ongoing.
