In theory, the system of encryption Bitcasa uses allows users to be identified from their files, but in practice the risk isn't enormous, and it allows Bitcasa to de-duplicate files – such as music tracks – which might be stored by many users to save space.
Bitcasa encrypts everything before you upload with 256-bit AES encryption, maintaining three copies for redundancy. The other big plus for Bitcasa is encryption. This has its downsides, in that Bitcasa's performance and usability is more dependent on your minute-to-minute connectivity, but on the plus side if hard disk capacity is limited, your Infinite Drive isn’t hogging all the space.
#BITCASA VS GOOGLE DRIVE PC#
While you get an icon on your desktop and a folder on your PC into which you can drag and drop files, your data isn’t being stored in the cloud and synced across your devices, but stored online with only the data BitCasa thinks you'll need cached locally. It has to be noted that while it looks like sync-based storage services like Google Drive or Dropbox, Bitcasa doesn’t actually work in the same way. If you’re involved in any enterprise that produces and deals with large files, including photos, video, print-ready layouts or graphics, then conventional cloud-based storage can get expensive. It’s a service with obvious allure for consumers, but will appeal to some small businesses as well. Bitcasa doesn’t simply want to give you an online copy of what’s on your hard drive, it wants to become your most important drive – a place where you can squirrel away all your documents, video, photos and music, and share them across multiple devices.
