"Copy", a new cloud storage service

Post » Mon Apr 01, 2013 10:48 pm

Just found out about a new cloud service called http://copy.com/?r=voBRkR. It says that it supports Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. And that there is no file size limit, which is a bonus for me, since I usually use cloud storage for backup, and my backup files can be huge. Also while it starts off with the (almost) standard of 5GB free, as a promotion for its launch, for a limited time, both the referrer and the referred get additional 5GB each.

To recap:
Sign up at http://www.copy.com to get 5GB free.
Sign up using my (or any) http://copy.com/?r=voBRkR, and you'll get 10GB free, and I'll get an additional 5GB free.

Also, Tweeting it gets another 2GB.

Hm. Both the page itself and the WHOIS points to it being owned by Barracuda Networks, but I can't find any mention of it on the company's main sitemap...

So it said over at https://www.copy.com/bigger/ :
To celebrate Copy's launch, earn 5 GB of extra free storage for yourself and whoever you refer each time you introduce someone new to Copy. This is a limited time opportunity to rack up huge amounts of extra free storage while we build the initial buzz around Copy!

You need to install its client for the extra 5GB to come in though, just signing up for web access won't do.

Erm, I think cloud storage will be a downfall. 1) it presents a larger, jucier target for attacks (in theory the storage protection should be scaled to that size as well), and 2) it brings up the "Too Big To Fail" dilema. The school district that I work for uses Google for email and Google drive for documents. There are some servers for backing-up data, but the teachers need to remember to do it. Man, if Google went down or under...

If you are worried about privacy or the this provider failing, then don't use it. What you could use it for, though, is to transfer files too big for most email providers. That's all I use my dropbox account for.
