I am using IPFS for file storage for my application, I have created a private network swarm of 4 nodes. I assumed initially that the file would be chunked and the chunks will be stored into different devices(Which is my requirement). But I found out that the file will be stored into the local after chunking from this blog Where does IPFS store all the data?. Now I was wondering if it is possible to chunk the data when ipfs add filename and store the chunks on different systems is possible.
If so how can it be achieved?
Can i store File chunks in different systems in the IPFS Network?

IPFS is not a file storage but a p2p protocol.
Files are still stored locally when you do ipfs add filename
Other peers can store your published file by requesting the file then pin it.
Instead of thinking about changing the IPFS protocol, what you can do is to build your application on IPFS that behaves as storage such as filecoin.
