While the experience should be pretty painless for those with Free, Premium, and Pro plans, the company apologizes for the inconvenience. “To keep our zero-knowledge encryption in place for your account, you will need to transfer your account and all your data over to the new Bitcasa system,” the company explains.
#BITCASA FOR WINDOWS UPGRADE#
That’s because over the past year Bitcasa has worked to upgrade the backend storage infrastructure to be faster, more stable, and more scalable. More important, however, is that everyone will have to migrate their data within the next three weeks.
For some customers, they note, is at a level that seems impossible for individual usage. The tight privacy levels the company has set in place have made it impossible to enforce the Acceptable Use policy, since they can only see how much data is stored on a certain account. They go on to say that, while they tried to make their vision of infinite work, the low demand, combined with the growing number of suspected abusers, made this plan not viable for the business. “While our Infinite offering was one of our early value propositions, we have since found that only a small percentage of people use it (only 0.5 percent of our accounts require more than 1TB, and less than 0.1 percent require more than 10TB),” the company explained. The one thing that made Bitcasa different from the rest will no longer be available. Bitcasa, the cloud storage startup that once promised to allow you to store an infinite number of files, has announced that it will no longer be supporting… infinite storage.
