Cloud storage company Bitcasa hopes to provide consumers “infinite storage” for their devices for a mere $10 per month. The Mountain View, California-based start-up recently attracted $7 million in its first round of funding.
Bitcasa is exciting “because unlike players like Dropbox, Box, SugarSync, or Google Drive, its storage solution goes beyond syncing files across machines,” reports VentureBeat. “The company’s app does not take up any room on your hard drive, which is extremely helpful if you have a MacBook Air, Ultrabook, or a small SSD drive for storage.”
Data is stored on Bitcasa’s servers for easy access. Although the app does not offer some of the same sharing and integration tools as its competitors, it “seems incredibly appealing for individuals who want a better backup solution than an external hard drive,” suggests the post.
Users can try the service for free during the beta period, expected to last a few months, after which interested parties can continue with the $10/month “infinite storage” option.
