Past version history on files will not be preserved post transfer and any mirrored folders will have to be recreated. There are some snags in the transfer process to be aware of though.
Users wishing to stick with Bitcasa will need to transfer files over to the new storage system by the Novemdeadline. After the deadline, all files that have not been transferred or downloaded will be deleted permanently.īitcasa has put together a FAQ that explains the situation and how it will affect each of the account tiers on their website. Bitcasa has re-engineered the storage backend and is promising faster uploading, downloading, and streaming (over the web interface) of files. There is a bright side to the announcement, however. The alleged lack of demand coupled with violations of the company's Acceptable Use Policy were the final nails in the infinite storage coffin. Unfortunately, the unlimited storage space model was not sustainable despite heavily increased pricing several months ago.Īccording to Bitcasa, less than 0.5% of users stored more than 1TB while 0.1% of users used more than 10TB. Since then, the company has grown to store more than 40 Petabytes of user data. The company made its debut at the start of last year with an infinite storage product (Amazon S3 backend with custom applications and client side AES-256 convergent encryption).
Bitcasa recently announced that, as of November 15, 2014, the company is discontinuing its "Infinite Drive" and will no longer be offering unlimited cloud storage space.
