Microsoft’s very own SkyDrive is clearly a helpful application that allows you to save and manage files online, but plenty of alternative services have already reached both the web and Windows 8 platforms.

Bitcasa is one of the most appealing solutions in this regard, as it provides infinite storage to its users.

The application allows Windows 8 and Windows RT adopters to instantly access photos, music, movies and documents from the Modern UI, but also to download, upload and manage existing files with just a few taps.

Users need to register for an account before starting using Bitcasa, but the good news is that support for Facebook and Twitter accounts is also available.

Bitcasa takes full advantage of the features available in Windows 8, so it also provides sharing tools for multimedia content such as photos and videos.

I installed Bitcasa on a Win8 platform. Mirrored one of my photo folders. Worked fine. Mirror in the service was fine.

Right-clicked one of the photos in the mirror and selected 'share with...' which generated the unique link. I opened the link in a browser (logged out of Bitcasa in the meantime) and clicked on the folder icon and, guess what, the full contents of another photo folder NOT MIRRORED opened. I could click on any of those photo files and the full-size picture opened. So somewhere in the system they have the contents of the folder not supposed to be mirrored. I sent the link by email to another computer and the same happened.

So they seem to have still big open issues securitywise.
