Anytype is offline first; hence, all data you create will be stored locally first. After that, the data is synced to the backup node and your devices for redundancy. We use a private [IPFS](https://docs.ipfs.tech/concepts/what-is-ipfs/) network to handle storage. It is a Peer-To-Peer file system that facilitates decentralized data storage across devices.
{% hint style="info" %}
It is also possible to use p2p to sync between your devices if they are connected to the same local network.

#### Media <a href="#media" id="media"></a>
Media files are not directly downloaded in overall syncing to save bandwidth. Instead, when that file is requested, it is streamed to your device from the backup node or your devices on the network. For example, if you have a 4K Video, it will be streamed from the backup node or P2P devices to your device. So when you open an object with an image, it downloads. When you press play on video & audio, it begins to download. After that, this file will be stored in the application cache.&#x20;

## Backup node
Every Anytype user has access to a remote backup node provided by Anytype. Its capacity is currently limited to 1 Gb. If you go over the limit, a warning will appear, and you'll be able to ask for more storage.

We plan on introducing third party sync providers in the future.
#### Disable the Anytype backup node
This is currently not possible, but it's planned to be [implemented soon](https://github.com/anyproto/roadmap/issues/34) (**2023Q3**).
There is currently no option in the account settings to disable the backup node, but this is something we are planning on [introducing soon](https://github.com/anyproto/roadmap/issues/34) (**2023Q3**).
