I know you might not care about the security and you're only using them for the cheap storage but just keep in mind that Bitcasa aren't as secure as they claim they are as they're able to provide your data to third parties via both their web interface and their API, which means that they possess all decryption keys. i.e. the second section of the following quote from their 'Personal' page is false:
"Bitcasa keeps all of your files secure by applying client-side, AES-256 block-level encryption before they are even uploaded to your Personal Drive. Only you have access to your content. Not even Bitcasa employees can access or determine what files are in any given user’s account."
I was a customer of theirs when they first launched beta but ever since they've been screwing with their consumer customers with seemingly little thought to the consequences and their marketing copy is dangerously deceptive.
I've since moved to SpiderOak, who are quite transparent about their security and have updated their pricing to be more competitive.
