Imagine never running out of room on your hard drive or having a cheaper cloud storage solution. Actually, you don’t have to imagine either because BitCasa offers “infinite” storage space on the cheap.
Its new cloud stashing service works on a bunch of different platforms — iOS, Android, OS X, Windows, Windows RT, and the web. It’ll cost you £6.50/month or £45/year if you sign up this month. Otherwise, it’ll cost you £65 for the year. Infinite Drive instantly backs up your drives and automatically encrypts your data. So you don’t even have to think about moving files over to the cloud. You never run out of space. And, at £6.50 a month, you can’t really argue with that. [BitCasa via Businesswire]

First of all, I don’t see how “unlimited” cloud storage is sustainable, at least not this early in its evolution. For £6.50 I could backup my PC, Galaxy S3, Galaxy note 10,and 2 computers (including my 1Tb movie collection)? Don’t think so, how can the company afford the hard drives? Pretty sure, there a “fair” use limit somewhere in their TOS.
or if they are taken down by the FBI or Interpol 
Secondly, I don’t trust any “cloud” service more than I could throw them, I always have a second backup of anything I send to cloud, incase they become greedy and lock my files
The FBI would never do such thing Mr. Sibbs.
Tell that Mr Kim DOtcom. Who thought megaupload would get busted.
Isn’t respecting people’s privacy their main concern? They are so caring and respectful. (must be time to leave, I am already replying to myself)

You forget that the FBI are an American agency. Try telling them what they can and cant do
On a more serious note, when you lose legit files like that its not funny. My friend who does graphic design/video production had tons of stuff on megaupload when it went down. Anything important you put on the cloud needs to be backed up on an external drive. There are just too many loopholes with cloud at the moment. They could go down, they could get a virus, they could get hacked, they could be visited by Mr Dotcom’s friends
, they could even crash (afterall, they use the same computer/hard disks/servers the rest of us use).
I agree, I use it only for legit files too. Pictures, documents (not sensitive) and always have a copy on two passport harddisks. I’m a bit paranoid with it.
You can’t see over the horizon but I assure you people do live there….
How that relates to my comment bamboozles me. I like to think that I’m tech savvy and I do some coding as well (in assembly language, real low level not these C++ kids use these days. I’m just saying that cloud hasn’t stabilized to the point of UNLIMITED uploads and that allowing people unlimited uploads almost certainly will attract pirates (music, movie, games, hell even porn
). Which means if they get taken down, even people with legit files will lose them.
I decided to summarize for you so maybe you can actually make a valid point?
Just an interesting point I have tried this out and my Mac is telling me I have 562.95 TB available so not quite infinite
I’m saying that just because you don’t understand how these things work, doesn’t mean they won’t… it’s called metaphor baby!
That’s the point. I DO understand how they work. More than most, including you perhaps
Perhaps but then why are you working for a blog ?
But then thinking you have superior technical knowledge to people you don’t actually know might be the best qualification for a tech blog, who knows but I’m sure Bitcasa will rue the day they didn’t ask your opinion first before investing all that money!
Used this when it was FREE in beta… it’s AMAZING!!!
The article says “Infinite Drive instantly backs up”. Except it doesn’t, and that’s the problem with cloud storage.
It’ll immediately start backing up my drive, but take several days if not weeks to finish. On a 1Mb upstream broadband connection, getting 1Tb reliably into the cloud is still pretty hard to do and it’ll hog your connection until it’s there.
