![]() Notice the difference between the actual copy speed (reported by NetBalancer) and the copy time in Microsoft Explorer. The copy procedure starts by caching data locally - with the cache file set to default, I lost ~500MB of storage space on C:\ when the copy began. Once you choose a file to copy, you'll see the normal Windows file copy dialog appear, with a ludicrously optimistic estimate of how long it'll take to upload your data. Hopefully that'll be addressed in future revisions. ![]() There doesn't seem to be a way to define where this cache is kept - I'd have preferred to use my other hard drive and leave the SSD for other tasks. Explorer support is also integrated you can right-click and choose to drop a file over. Grab documents or data, drop them on the "Infinite Drive" logo, and poof, they're uploaded. There's also a mapped location on the left-hand side, where Drive, Dropbox, and Google Drive. Initially, this didn't work, but after a reboot, a Bitcasa drive appeared.

You can mix and match between the two to free up local storage without needing to change the entire program's configuration. If you do enable mirroring, Bitcasa offers you file-level control over whether or not documents are mirrored to the site or just copied over. Choose whether you want to mirror or not, but I'd recommend going with "Not," at least for the moment due to the impact on total upload bandwidth. Near as I can tell, Bitcasa means that the files you choose to mirror are always available in their original locations. Mirrored folders are always backed up and available offline? That would be sorcery. ![]()
