A system and method for storing data in a distributed network having a plurality of datacenters distributed over a plurality of geographic regions. The method may involve receiving data, including metadata, uploaded to a first datacenter of the distributed network, receiving access information about previous data that was previously stored in the plurality of datacenters of the distributed network, predicting one or more of the plurality of geographic regions from which the uploaded data will be accessed based on the metadata and the access information, and instructing the uploaded data to be transferred from the first datacenter to one or more second datacenters located at each of the one or more predicted geographic regions.
