![]() If you have the time, the above video is worth a look. On this Mac, I had both client applications running at the same time with no conflict. The look of Bitcasa resembles a number of squares, and in the case of the notification bar – three squares attached to the resident application just like Dropbox does. The installation was quite painless and after setup, you might not be able to tell this from a DropBox installation. My first installation of Bitcasa happened on a Macbook (the only platform available so far) – the version I used was 0.1.4.777 – more recently I was using 0. In December of 2012, Bitcasa launched Windows 8, Android and iOS apps for accessing your Bitcasa storage The mobile package is expected to cost $10. But in the context of multiple devices – this is indeed a novel approach. The idea of “virtualizing the complete filesystem” is really not different from, say, a SFTP Drive mapped to a user’s shell. ![]() Listen to how Tony Gauda describes the idea. This is sort of a streaming version of Dropbox (if you will). This is a VERY different way of doing things, and, potentially a failing of the service if you can’t reasonably cache data you need over the connection you have available. What’s appears to happen with Bitcasa is that it keeps that data it gets on the servers and caches it to your computer when yo request it. This, of course, may change – but the Dropbox method of “sync a folder from your desktop to the cloud and then sync all computers with that folder” is not being employed here. I wanted to get this right out there: this is not another Dropbox. Also, since much of the time I’m spending with this is based on a Beta test – take what I describe as stuff that could get change or fixed in new releases. Because was bound by a non-disclosure agreement – I couldn’t bring the details to you until the product was released fully. This new service promised the next evolution in online cloud storage – the unlimited space cloud storage. As an early Beta invitee to Bitcasa, I was pretty excited.
