Video Tips for Your IOS and Android

Interested in the video playback features of your Infinite Drive? Check out these tips to ensure you’re getting the most out of your Bitcasa streaming experience.

  1. If you play music and videos on your iPhone or iPad, you can also enjoy them on the big screen! Simply use AirPlay to stream your music and videos to your AppleTV.

  2. You can now watch your videos in full HD within the Android app – take advantage of your fast connection by opening your videos with the “Stream with” menu option. You’ll now enjoy your video in full HD! Note that Bitcasa Android app typically transcodes your videos (we are working hard to ensure we can transcode each movie type!) to save bandwidth, but if this is not an issue, you can get a better viewing experience in seconds.

  3. If you use the VLC video player, you can increase its network cache timing from 10ms to 1000ms so that you receive a much smoother streaming experience. Simple as that!

  4. By “Favoriting” files you can access a local copy instantly while offline and in full quality. So it no longer matters where you’re viewing your files…and it guarantees the best quality viewing experience. Play your videos and music offline on the bus, train, or plane! When you’re done, just “Remove from Favorites” to remove the local copy and free up space!

We designed Bitcasa in such a way that your computer thinks your files are on a local hard drive, which means any application can access your files. We are making it possible for you to be able to instantly stream any video or music file to your PC or mobile device.

Let us know if you have any questions. Also, watch this video and see for yourself how easy it is to add and stream HD videos.

This week, we are excited to announce the End of Beta with availability of some new products, with big improvements to our existing ones! Check out the new Mac and iOS features below:

New Mac App

The new Mac Infinite Drive experience is here! This Mac-friendly Bitcasa Infinite Drive lives on your desktop. Move stuff to the drive to free up space on your computer, or “mirror” folders on your computer to your drive for automatic and continuous backup. Similar to the previously released Windows desktop app, users will notice a very simplified user experience, with the ability to easily send files to anyone, as well as access all files on any other device.

iOS App

iPhone Homescreen

With the Bitcasa app for iOS, you can view and share all your photo albums and documents, watch movies, and listen to music. Users can auto-backup their camera to save pictures and videos to their Bitcasa Infinite Drive automatically. Users can also “Favorite” items to download them locally so they are available offline without a data connection.
