Best Buy has announced that they will be launching a video storage service where customers can upload and access video files for a price.
The service, dubbed Best Buy Video Sharing will start at $6.97 USD for a 100 minutes of video hosting with a 30 minute cap per video. There will also be premium plans for extended lengths and additional storage capacity.
Best Buy said the service was created through a partnership with the UK-based streaming video host provider Mydeo.
"Many customers don't want their personal memories available for anyone to see in the public domain nor do they want to share them in a cluttered environment that includes advertising," said Kevin Winneroski, vice president of Best Buy. "Through Best Buy Video Sharing, customers can safely store their videos and share them only with the friends and family they choose."
The service will complement Best Buy's current digital music store and photo center which were opened last year.
