For $9.99 a month, you were supposed to get infinite storage. TechCrunch Disrupt finalist Bitcasa is another service that tried to attract users by promising big accounts.
The company doesn’t rely on Amazon S3 like Dropbox, it has its own server infrastructure and multiple data centers - the service probably has less operating costs. To differentiate itself, HubiC bets on its prices. Your files and photos are already on the service, you may have shared folders with other Dropbox users, and many apps now use the Dropbox API. Microsoft has SkyDrive, Google has Google Drive, etc.ĭropbox has a powerful lock-in effect as well. HubiC remains a newcomer, and when it comes to file hosting services nowadays, every big company has one. It now provides a sync client on the desktop, mobile apps and an API. Launched two years ago, HubiC has slowly but surely evolved into a full-fledged Dropbox alternative. Now, you get 25GB of storage for free, 100GB for $1.35 per month (€1), and you can opt for a whopping 10TB plan for $13.50 per month (€10). French hosting company OVH just updated its product offering for its Dropbox-like service called HubiC.
