Creating a Cloud Storage Service


Hi everyone,

I want to create my own cloud storage.

For this, I am planning to start with something very simple, a functional frontend to upload/show files and a backend which has the functions to return a file list/specific file(s) and a register/login.

Currently my plan is to use the technologies I am used to working with: Angular/Node.js and for database probably MySQL. Do you think that this would actually make sense or is there something more which I need to (re)consider before I start?

You need to think of security. If your server gets compromised I don't want any documents that I would have stored with the service to be able to be read by the attacker.

Maybe just use minio?
