Seems too good to be true. And it's the kind of service that you need to depend on. Don't wanna start using it to find they disappear one day. Would rather pay $10/month to know that it's going to be around for a long long time.

This may be help a bit - https://torrentfreak.com/hive-a-... Liam McCallum seems to be CEO. https://www.linkedin.com/in/liam... - would love if he could answer questions

@ryandawidjan Hive licenses media encoding APIs from QVIVO (http://www.qvivo.com/). I highly recommend them if you are thinking about building a cloud service that deals with media files. We're a separate company however. I'll ask Liam to jump on and chat.

@lehartel Hi Thierry, thanks for jumping on here :) I like the design and how easy it is to get started. I love the unlimited cloud storage. As of late I have been keen on questioning privacy policies for cloud solutions, so I encourage @lehartel and team to be very open about their privacy policy and where they stand relative to Dropbox. I saw @McCroden's comment and maybe it's a bit extreme to get into those details with your standard user, but totally worth it in the long haul.

@lehartel: A question that has been in the air about Hive. What's your business model and how can you ensure that Hive won't disappear in a year being that it's almost too easy to have a free for life account?

I appreciate competition, but it sketches me out when a random service offers to store my personal files and wants almost nothing in return. Trust takes time, or money to build.
