 In this quickstart guide, you will learn about [pinning services](../concepts/persistence.md#pinning-in-context) and how to use them to publish content-addressed data with IPFS. To learn the process, you will upload the file to a pinning service called [web3.storage](https://web3.storage/). By the end of this guide, you should have a better understanding of how content addressing and CIDs work from a high level.

 Similar to the [Publish a file with IPFS](./publish.md) quickstart, this guide will teach you about [pinning services](../concepts/persistence.md#pinning-in-context) and how to use them to publish content-addressed data with IPFS. However, instead of using the [Web3 UI used in the related guide](./publish.md#upload-and-pin-a-file) , you will upload the file to [web3.storage](https://web3.storage/) using the [w3 command line interface](https://github.com/web3-storage/w3cli). By the end of this guide, you should have a better understanding of how content addressing and CIDs work from a high level, as well as how to use the w3 command line interface to publish data to IPFS.
