1. A method for storing data comprises: determining, by a computing device, where to store the data; when the data is to be stored in dispersed storage network (DSN) memory, managing, by a DSN access token module, a pairing between the DSN access token module and the computing device for acquiring secure token information of the DSN access token module including DSN access information to facilitate access to the DSN memory; and when the computing device is paired with the DSN access token module, the DSN access token module: receives at least a portion of the data from the computing device; in response to receiving the at least a portion of the data from the computing device, encodes the at least the portion of the data using a dispersed storage error encoding function in accordance with dispersed storage error coding parameters to produce one or more sets of encoded data slices; and sends to the computing device the one or more sets of the encoded data slices and storage information, wherein the storage information pertains to the DSN memory; and sending, by the computing device, the one or more sets of encoded data slices in accordance with the storage information to the DSN memory for storage therein.
