  I wrote their support yesterday about it and they answered that streaming is "currently in beta".

  I don't really know

  @Freek said: By the looks of it, is it's still free? How do these guys make money.

  Well the software seems to work. The speed isn't the fastest but it's ok imho. They are planning to charge 10$/month after the beta.

  I just reinstalled bitcasa again and it works much better than I tried it the last time (in May this year). However, what I still find lacking is that if you add a folder to 'My infinite' and it's done uploading, it won't keep syncing this folder to the cloud. So if you add or delete a file later on, it won't be uploaded or deleted..... Ofcourse you could use the 'My Sync' folder for that, but that's not what I want. I want to have a remote copy of my files and only download them when needed on my other PCs instead of eating up diskspace without use.
