(Streem co-founder here) Small clerical error - we were actually YC S12, not W14 :).

And to further optimize the experience and support low-bandwidth environments, Streem has developed enhanced video and media streaming technology to ensure content is accessible from the cloud as fast as it is locally.How is this technically possible?

Did anybody else read "Box Acquiring Steam" at first?
by rdl on 6/16/14, 5:39 PM
Wow, congratulations. It's interesting that what seems to be a more video/etc. content focused company is going to Box -- is Box trying to beef up their consumer/content-professional market?

Smart acquisition! I didn't know about Streem, wow what a great idea. The one thing always holding me back from day to day usage of Dropbox / Box etc is being able to mount these drives in Windows. I would definitely sign up / pay for an account now.

Can Ritik comment on some insights into how StreemFS looks like ? Does it follow a nfs client-server model where the server then makes a request to the Streem servers to get back the data and also managing look ahead buffers etc ?

That is some interesting stuff. I had to shut off Dropbox sync when it literally filled my hard drive. It sounds like Steem just caches virtual files that link to remote data. I'm curious to see it in action.

Congrats! I just hope the acquisition was all cash, and not for stock.

Congrats to founders and whole team. This is just awesome.

Now let's see something like this but with an open source protocol like Camlistore.
Still looking for a co-founder to tear this industry apart. Email's in profile.

Congrats, ritik!

Great purchase, could add a lot of value to their consumer offering.

Wooooooo Streem!

no wonder why they had to pull IPO.
