Preparing your data assets for uploading to Ocean Market using Google Drive
You can host your data assets on any URL. Ocean Market encrypts this URL and stores it on the blockchain. Only when someone comes along with the data token for your data asset can they decrypt the URL and consume the data.
Tutorial Overview
We’re going to show you how to get your data assets ready to upload to Ocean Market using Google Drive.
