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.
