Cloud platforms – such a great abundance of services, each with a different twist. The Bitcasa data backup and storage service is particularly interesting in this respect. Unlike others, it does not simply create a folder on your computer system, but it establishes an external drive for your multiple files and folders. The only difference from your internal drives is that the Bitcasa virtual drive does not take space on your computer. Shortly, this is your external hard drive in the cloud. This file storage system allows you to drag and drop files and folders just like any external hard drive. The documents you've placed on this virtual drive won't take space on your computer and will be accessible from any other devices you use. This happens when you install the Bitcasa desktop application on your computer. The installation is very easy to perform and takes just a minute, and it's totally worth it. The Bitcasa virtual drive effortlessly backups and mirrors your files and you can access them from all of your computers and mobile devices, anytime.
When installed, the Bitcasa application appears as an icon in your Tray Bar, and also, as an external drive on your system. This way you can easily reach it and use it.
On the other hand, the web service allows you to listen to your music, watch videos, view photos and documents. The platform also gives you the opportunity to share files and folders instantly with other users. One way of doing it is by right-clicking on a file, located in your Bitcasa virtual drive. The Send this to a friend option appears. When you click on it you can easily generate a link to share with other users. Alternatively, you can select the Send option on the website after you have marked the file(s) you plan to send. A link is automatically generated and you can send it via email or share it on Facebook, Twitter or an instant messenger.
The Bitcasa platform provides secure cloud storage by encrypting your files before they are even uploaded. This way you can safely backup all your digital data and access it via Windows, Mac and Linux, as well as any mobile device. You can access your files even offline.
Unlike other similar file sharing services, Bitcasa allows you to view or stream any type of file without additional software required.
Shortly, what is most specific about Bitcasa is that it helps you save valuable space on your non-virtual drives. The Bitcasa platform provides effortless auto-backup. All you need to do is simply right-click on a file or folder on your computer and select Mirror to perform an automatic backup to Bitcasa.
The cloud storage system automatically backups your files even on mobile. You just need to download and install the Bitcasa application for iPad, iPhone or Android.
