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; and when the computing device is paired with the DSN access token module: sending, by the computing device, at least a portion of the data to the DSN access token module; encoding, by the DSN access token module, the at least a portion of the data using a dispersed storage error encoding function to produce one or more sets of encoded data slices; sending, by the DSN access token module, the one or more sets of encoded data slices and storage information to the computing device; 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.
