Protocol Labs has launched [**Web3.Storage**](https://web3.storage/), a simple interface for developers to store and retrieve data from Filecoins decentralized storage network. Web3.Storage 一 which will remain free indefinitely 一 gives developers an easy avenue to build applications with redundant, decentralized storage and secure, content addressed data. By handling a ton of the complexity of interacting directly with decentralized storage, it is the one of the best ways to integrate with Filecoin storage for all developers, from Web3 newbies to IPFS veterans! [**Try Web3.Storage now**](https://web3.storage/) plus learn how it works, how to interact with it, and whats next in [**this blog post**](https://filecoin.io/blog/posts/introducing-web3-storage/).
In July, [**Nebulus**](https://nebulus.dev/), a “Virtual IPFS Network”, was released. Also dubbed the “IPFS-less IPFS” network, Nebulus allows users to use the logic and content addressability of IPFS without having to use the public network. Nebulus lets users work with IPFS files and storage locally before publishing to the public IPFS network (or, never publishing at all). Users can choose to use Nebulus as an “offline buffer”, allowing them to work privately with IPFS files and publish to IPFS only if/when needed.
