Monthly Review February 2023

Want to know Hive's roadmap for the next 3 months... and H1-23 objective? Our H1 objective is very simple: Minimum Marketable Product launched in July.

Yet, achieving this objective seems hard and daunting. When the objective seems so difficult to attain, it is best to take it one step at a time...and this is what we have been doing: since January we've already released 2 new versions of HiveDrive, delivering month after month exciting features to give the market best solution for storing, accessing and sharing your files in a safe, secure and sustainable cloud: Hive.

In the next 3 releases we will reach the Minimum Viable Product milestone for "storing my files in the cloud and accessing them from multiple devices" use cases with the arrival of the following new features:
