Abstract
A shared data storage network, such as a peer-to-peer network, is managed according to individual member trust level. Members of the storage network make their local storage available to other members of the network. Members receive a storage-location recommendation based on (i) the type of data to be stored, and (ii) an individual trust level assigned to members providing storage resources in the network.
