@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.

From Hive's terms: "Hive reserves the right to terminate Free Accounts at any time, with or without notice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Free Account is inactive for ninety (90) days, then Hive may delete any or all of Your Files without providing additional notice." There are many services that I don't access that often. Especially if I am using it for storage and archival. So having stuff deleted without notice equates to "unreliable" to me.

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.

Free and unlimited in the same sentence? I wonder about how they are paying their bills.

@alxmlv Seems like they are gonna do it by offering premium features.

@alxmlv I too have grown very skeptical of services that offer too much for free. What's the use of an awesome free service if it gets shut down? Better pay a bit less, but having a sustainable business that will support you over the years. Let's see (and hope) that they can keep up and avoid the Springpad (sad) way.

@mbavio premium features for a payment, but the more friends you have the cheaper the price of the premium features get -- all the way down to $0 if you have more than 100 friends. Are they harvesting user data then?

@miles_matthias I have no idea, would be nice to have a "Maker" in here, don't you think?

@alxmlv We are well funded and we believe that users will want to pay for Premium features post Beta. We're also thrilled to have a premier hosting company as an investor (announcement soon) which more than helps with our operating costs.

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.

Isn't this basically another Mega Upload?

@surfy Absolutely not. For example, there are no public pages to stumble upon from Google as all your files are only available to your approved friend's list on Hive. Think of Hive as Dropbox (without public files) but removing all limits and making it easier than ever to share.
