We are pleased to announce the launch of our new service: DataShell Backup.

http://www.datashell.co.uk/products/

As promised, DataShell have been busy working on a number of new backup and storage solutions for our customers. Today we are proud to announce the launch of our new product DataShell Drive.

DataShell Drive is an extension to DataShell Backup; in addition to backing up all of the files on your computers DataShell Drive allows you to create a hard disk drive image that can be replicated across an unlimited number of computers.

The files are kept locally so access times are as fast as working normally on your computer. However, should you save a file onto your computer’s DataShell Drive it is immediately transferred to all other copies of your DataShell Drive on all other computers; meaning you’ll have identical copies of all your files at work, home, on your tablet etc.

There is no limit to how many DataShell Drives you can install – you are only limited by the number of computers and devices you have.

DataShell Drive also allows you to work on files whilst you are off-line and synchronise when you’re next online.

You can share anything stored on your DataShell Drive with other people. To share publically you can give anyone a URL to allow unlimited downfalls of file you want to share. To share privately you can create a private URL with a username and password.

The standard DataShell Drive comes with 500GB storage per year and can be upgraded with additional segments of 500GB up to 2TB in total.

2014-01-09 DataShell Press Release - Customers are actively leaving Dropbox...

Press release from our website:

Customers are actively leaving Dropbox to use our service, and reporting a better experience!

Relentless Software limited, a Brighton based games developer and one of our customers, have just moved away from Dropbox. They are not the first! But Relentless have said they are keen for us to blog about this as they are genuinely upset with the level of service they have received from Dropbox.

Yesterday Relentless shared a 1.4GB file with 400 of their customers using a Dropbox public link. Dropbox then suspended their account claiming they were using too much bandwidth.

We leapt to their aid, setting them up an account allowing them to share their files via DataShell. The whole service was up in minutes and with no limit on bandwidth Relentless can have as many customers as they want downloading at maximum speed.

"After sharing a file on Dropbox we found that within 24 hours our public sharing facility had been suspended. This could have caused a huge customer support problem as our customers began to complain about a broken link. However, Datashell was not only able to share the files instantly and with no limitation, but that we had no problems reported from our customers either." – Andy Eades, CEO, Relentless Software

Relentless have allowed us to share the file to readers of this article. It’s a windows version of their hit game Blue Toad Murder Files ‘The Mysteries of Little Riddle’. See here for a video trailer for the game or here to purchase a copy on iTunes. Or a full free windows version is available here hosted on our Datashell servers.

Users will be able to download this file an unlimited number of times because DataShell is a truly unlimited service.

Follow this link to access a free trial copy of this game and judge Datashell's download speeds for yourself.

Our intentional customers are consistently reporting excellent download and upload speeds. This is because our UK servers are peered with faster networks and have multiple entry points. DataShell is a truly unlimited service.

Join the revolution, join DataShell today.

We are a UK based company offering unlimited data storage and backup for Bitcoin.

2013-11-26 Coindesk - Data Storage Startup Datashell Only Accepts Bitcoins
by
DataShell.co.uk
on 26/11/2013, 22:43:08 UTC
DataShell decides to launch its service exclusively for Bitcoin to address Dropbox's abandonment of the community:

Quote
Datashell is a backup and storage service with features similar to Dropbox. Its current price plans are aimed at small businesses, offering two annual subscription plans costing 0.10 BTC and 0.28 BTC. Datashell claims that both plans come with “unlimited” storage, although the cheaper plan will only back up data on five connected machines. The more expensive plan offers users unlimited connections.

See the full Coindesk.com article here.

So far as we know, we are the first and only company jumping in to offer backup exclusively and only for Bitcoin. Other companies are merely dipping their toe in the water at best: Mega lets you buy a voucher from another supplier you can redeem at their site; whist other services are running a limited trial which they have hidden in the depths of their website. We are doing this as we feel Dropbox has abandoned a large potential demographic of its users and we want to show it and other companies that there is money to be made offering quality services for just Bitcoin.

See reviews of DataShell by the Bitcointalk.org community here.

Have you re-considered the API yet ? Or at least open source the client app. This is not only better for me and others interested in knowing what your program is doing in our computers, it is better for you too. You are not improving your security or your service by hiding what the client does, and others might be interested in providing bug fixes for you.

I've looked into your new site and the pricing there doesn't specify the bill cycle. It says 0.3 and 0.8, but it doesn't mention whether it is one time payment, yearly, monthly, etc. You should update that and mention that it's a yearly payment. The pricing is still very good when compared to competitors, but not being able to have full control over the backups is a no go to me.

Thanks for these comments; I have passed them back up to the design team as per your last post.

They are reviewing them and they will hopefully get considered for future releases, but I/they can't make any promises at this stage.

Thanks also for the comments about pricing cycle; I've passed your comments to our web dev, who will clarify it on the site.

Can I use it to store the output of a little script I'm writing that's simply counting from 1 to 2192?

I think in that instance your datapipe may be the constraining factor; but yes you are welcome to try Wink. Our introductory offer price is 0.3BTC or 40LTC.
