Congrats man. I remember meeting you at the Meteor meetup and was thrilled with your vision (plus the balls to go with Meteor!). Good luck with your endeavors.
On your linkedin profile you claim you have 13 yrs of experience. Then you also graduated from highschool in 2010. So by common logic in 2010 , when you were 17 yrs old , you had 9 yrs of experience ? ( assuming linked profile is reflecting recent experience )
Is this some kind of joke or ponzi scheme ?
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.

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.
We built an on-demand adaptive bitrate video transcoder that works with HLS. So it's able to fluctuate the quality and size of the video being streamed server-side before sending it down to the client. In a low-bandwidth environment, the quality decreases automatically so that the video streams without any lag. It's similar to how Netflix does their streaming.
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.
Box had to pull off its IPO. What's the point of acquiring company ? Founders also seem to have some weird data on linkedin. 13 yrs of experience when he is 20. Ha ha ha...
As if we have got new Einstein !!
There is no wonder this will turn out a mistake by Box.
Startup bubble has started. Cash out and get out.

Really hope Streem continues to exist as an independent product or at least as a plugin on top of Box or something.
Good luck man!

Still looking for a co-founder to tear this industry apart. Email's in profile.
How is this technically possible?
