as already mentioned bitcasa is not Dropbox. and it is not going to be free as well. it sort of replicates your local folders in the cloud from what i remember using it and then you can delete the folder to have it accessible right from the cloud... and of course you get unlimited storage in the cloud for a fixed price.
^Using it?
Bitcasa launch mobile apps for Google Android and Windows RT

so, 10 dollars for infinite storage. 10GB for free accounts. looks pretty good.

bitcasa is expected to become a paid on service from this week. 10 dollars for unlimited storage is not bad. but it's too much for casual users.

In my opinion, at 10$/month, they are going to price themselves out of the market. Because of the price, a very high proportion of their users will be those who will store a massive number of files thus the company will be forced to increase rates which will simply increase the proportion of such users. The reason they are offering unlimited storage, I presume is so that the heavy users are subsidized by the lighter ones. But with box/mega/Dropbox/skydrive etc. available., I can't see a lot of such users.
you are missing the basic element of their service. they are deduplicating the data. and users are actually getting unlimited storage for 10 bucks per month. this is insanely cheaper than what competing services are offering. of course they can in the future launch cheaper plans with limited storage. i mean even if they charge 5 dollars for 100GB per month, they would still be making money from it. unique data per user is going to be negligible if they have a sizable number of paying subscribers 
Dropbox does the same level of deduplication yet their prices are insane.i personally have like 50GB of unique data on my computer. self shot photos. document sizes is negligible. the only problem customers for them are essentially photographers who would store raw photos and of course folks who do video editing and 3D thingy.
