Infinite Cloud Storage - Bitcasa
« on: October 07, 2012, 07:58:25 AM »
Hey guys, a while back my friend told me about this new company that was offering infinite online storage for free.  I got in on the beta program and I have to say that I'm way more impressed with Bitcasa than I am with Dropbox and other services like it.  I've used it for 10 months now and since they are out of beta I wanted to recommend it to you guys.  Like I said, it's free, so give it a shot.

To get the free storage use this link - http://l.bitcasa.com/jxfZ8xEj

Two of the features that I really like are the ability to link to photos from your account and share them on forums and websites like here :)  I also like the playlist feature which allows you to upload ALL of your music and then create a playlist to stream it down to your computer.

It's super easy to setup Bitcasa.  You just download it and then let it know which folders on your computer that you want to sync with Bitcasa.  This is great if you're using it on a work computer so that you can keep your important documents automatically backed up.

The MAIN reason that I'm using it is that over a year ago my daughter dropped our external hard drive off of our desk and ended up making the disk unreadable.  This disk contained ALL of our pictures of her and our family over the last 5 years.  With Bitcasa, I don't have to worry about that.  I just upload them to Bitcasa and they are backed up if anything happens to my machines.

So, again, to get the free infinite storage, use this Bitcasa link - http://l.bitcasa.com/jxfZ8xEj

Here's an example of a picture being shared on a forum

Hmmm ... I'm not seeing it either. My Bald Security Clearance must not be quite high enough.

I'll see what is going on with the pic.  Showed after I posted it.  Now I can't see it from my phone.

Can't find a way to get it working on a 32 bit Linux system, but I tested it on 64 bit and found it very slow to upload compared to Dropbox.  Also, can't find any pricing information.  I don't see how it can stay free forever.... I'm suspicious by nature of things like this that seem to offer too much....
