Bitcasa

[3] Its former product, Infinite Drive, once provided centralized storage that included unlimited capacity, client-side encryption, media streaming, file versioning and backups, and multi-platform mobile access.

[6] In May 2016, Bitcasa discontinued offering cloud storage for consumers, alleging that they will be focusing on their business products.

[7] In 2012 Tony Lee was recruited as vice president of engineering[8] and Frank Meehan joined the company's board of directors.

[11] Bitcasa provided client software for web browsers, OS X, Microsoft Windows, Linux and a mobile app for Android.

Bitcasa products provide centralized streaming storage so that all devices have simultaneous and real-time access to the same files.

[14][15] According to Popular Mechanics magazine, Bitcasa uses a convergent encryption method whereby a client's data is assigned an anonymous identifier before it is uploaded.

[18] In a review by Gizmodo of Australia, Bitcasa's cloud service was described as a "winner" that is "pricier than its competitors" but supported by Mac, PC and Android platforms.

[19] Users could access their Infinite Drive through mobile apps for Android, Windows RT, and browsers and support offline viewing of files.

The app collects and displays individual media types such as photos, video, music, and documents, independently of the folder hierarchy that they are stored in.

[20] After the initial server migration, only apps for Android, iOS and browsers were updated, effectively rendering other devices unusable with the service.

A September 2011 article published in Extreme Tech said that Bitcasa's convergent encryption based system is "mostly" safe but has some risks associated with it.

[30][31][32] On November 13, 2014, Northern Californian district judge William Alsup granted a temporary restraining order, enjoining Bitcasa from deleting and disabling access to Infinite Plan subscribers' data.
