![]() ![]() Oh well, I hope this is my 2 cent advice for everyone.The windows 7 app has been buggy for a while. Nomadesk? Well a similar client with them exists but is only limited to the space my laptop provides me. Bitcasa doesn’t have FTP Access but their clients works just as good. I also tried Nomadesk, but adding our backup data to their services can be a little slow sometimes. I hope they keep it up for people who needs the word UNLIMITED in their CLOUD service. ![]() I am fortunate they told me that I get to keep the Unlimited Package they used to offer. Even the company that I initially joined that offered Unlimited Service to the world now offers the same package giving customers only 2TB of space. Now they have another service but this time limits us to 50GB and the upgrades aren’t worth the dollar and efforts to have it. I would find it hard to give my hard earned dollar to Mega ever since they already lost several TB’s of my companies data due to the FBI hacking. So as long as Bitcasa never sends a notice to someone saying that they’re out of room, as far as anyone would be concerned, it is unlimited…for now.Īs a Photography Company who constantly require the cloud service of companies like Bitcasa. On the other hand, many companies (especially cellphone service providers) blatantly lie when they use the word “unlimited” since not only have they not reached the physical constraints of their infrastructure, they actually impose arbitrary limits in obscure, tiny print or sneakily worded clauses buried deep in your contracts, right next to the section detailing rights to your first-born child, etc.īut at the end of the day, if you can’t touch the ceiling, it doesn’t really matter how high it is. the only limitation is that of physical capacity which simply cannot be helped. Naturally no earthly service can be unlimited in the infinite sense,īut the word “unlimited” can still be used in an honest context.įor a service to honestly use the word “unlimited”, it can simply mean that no artificial and/or arbitrary limits have been imposed, i.e. On top of that, you get clients for various operating systems, an online viewer for various file types and documents, and file versions support. While you do not get as much storage space if you select the free account, you do get client side encryption just like you get when you use Mega. When you compare Bitcasa to Mega, you notice how advanced the former is in comparison to Mega. I'm always wary when it comes to companies that claim to offer unlimited storage as there is no such thing (even if you would stack all available storage devices of this world, you would not have unlimited storage space). Being wary does not mean that you should not consider the offer, only that you should keep a local backup of files that you push to the cloud for emergency recovery. The infinite plan on top of that offers an unlimited number of file version changes to be stored on the servers, and chat & email support. For $99 a year (currently discounted at $69, also available for $10 per month) users get unlimited storage. What may make Bitcasa interesting to some though is the only paid plan the company is offering. All users who sign up for Bitcasa can join the free plan which provides them with 10 Gigabyte of online storage space. While that is less than Mega's 50 Gigabyte of storage for free accounts, it is still more than comparable services such as Dropbox, SkyDrive or Google Drive are offering to free users of their service. Copying simply copies the current files and folders to the online storage, while mirroring will keep an eye on the folder to sync any changes made to it to the cloud.īitcasa recently came out of beta introducing two plans to users of the service. On Windows, users can simply right-click a folder and select to copy it to Bitcasa or mirror it instead. A Linux alpha client seems to be available as well.Īll folders on a desktop computer can be synced with Bitcasa which means that it is not limited to a root folder for that. Clients are available for Windows and Mac systems, as well as iOS, Android and Windows Phone. All files you uploaded to the service are encrypted locally with AES-256 so that they are stored in encrypted and thus protected form on the Bitcasa server.īitcasa, unlike Mega, is offering its users a complete package that consists of a website compatible with all recent web browsers and clients for various operating systems to access data on those systems and synchronize files between them. First and foremost, it offers client side encryption of data, something that the recently launched Mega is offering as well. ![]() It is a cloud hosting and synchronization service that does a lot of things right. I have followed Bitcasa ever since it started to offer its service as a beta version. ![]()
