In the previous sections, we explored how Hivenet works, how to plan your setup, and how to start building intentional storage and backup strategies. But here’s something we touched on that deserves a spotlight: Hivenet is more than just a cloud—it’s a community.
While most companies will say things like “we’re nothing without our users”, at Hivenet it’s not just a sentiment. It’s the foundation of how the platform works.
Our contributors—everyday people who share a portion of their unused storage or computing power—are what make Hivenet possible.
They’re not just supporting the system. They are the system.
