Bitcasa Expands Partnership With Samsung

Bitcasa, Inc., announced its extended partnership with Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd to give Samsung customers 50GB of free cloud storage for two years.

The Bitcasa app will be pre-loaded on select Samsung Windows 8.1 devices WW, giving users secure access to their data across any device.

“It’s inevitable that more consumer data will migrate to the cloud. Bitcasa has created a platform that is capable of storing and sharing large files and provides them with an entire cloud-based HDD that is secure, simple and accessible,” says Yeonsik Koo, director, Samsung Electronics. “Samsung is delighted to be able to offer our customers a solution to meet their digital content demands.“

“Samsung is an innovator, and they realize that consumers are looking for a better way to manage their data across devices,” says Bitcasa CEO Brian Taptich. “With more storage and accessibility, Samsung consumers can enjoy their content on the go and from any device.“

In contrast to other cloud storage services that encrypt on the server, Bitcasa encrypts user’s data on the client-side so that it is secure before it is even sent to the cloud. The user-controlled encryption means that not even Bitcasa is able to see customer data, it is completely private.
