Abstract: In the digital era, secure and efficient file management is a critical necessity across industries. ProVault is an AI-powered, decentralized file management system that leverages IPFS for secure storage and blockchain for data integrity, ensuring that files remain tamper-proof and easily accessible. The platform is designed to cater to corporate organizations, legal firms, healthcare institutions, and academic sectors, where document security, accessibility, and efficient retrieval are paramount. With AI-driven features such as smart search, content summarization, and explanation tools, ProVault enhances document handling, making it easier for users to extract relevant information from vast repositories.

This paper explores the technology stack behind ProVault, including blockchain, AI, role-based access control (RBAC), and biometric authentication, all of which contribute to its highly secure and user-friendly architecture. The methodology section discusses the integration of IPFS, smart contract implementation, and AI algorithms that power the system’s automation and security features. Additionally, the application section highlights the diverse use cases of ProVault, demonstrating its effectiveness for businesses, academic researchers, developers, and creative professionals who require seamless file collaboration and version tracking.

The study concludes by emphasizing ProVault’s role in revolutionizing digital file management through decentralized security, AI-powered automation, and seamless collaboration features. With its in-app video calling, version history tracking, and multi-layered authentication, ProVault provides a future-ready, all-in-one solution for secure document handling and team collaboration. This research underscores the importance of integrating blockchain and AI in file management systems, offering a scalable and efficient alternative to traditional centralized storage solutions.
