Description
Copy lets you sync, protect, and share. Everywhere.
Note: You must first sign up to use Copy (get a 5GB sign-up bonus with this link, for 25GB total for free).
Want to bring some files home? No problem! With Copy, they're already there. Copy's apps keep files in sync between your Macs, PCs, iOS devices, Android devices, and more.
There are no file size limits with Copy, and with Copy's "Fair Storage," the size of a shared folder is split between the number of users sharing the folder, so a 25GB folder shared with 5 users only counts as 5GB towards each user's quota.
Copy is developed by network security and backup giant Barracuda Networks, meaning your files are stored on servers Barracuda Networks controls and manages, for maximum security. Your data is also protected by multiple layers of encryption, including AES-256, both during transfer and while at rest on Barracuda's enterprise-class cloud storage. Advanced security features include: secure sharing, source validation, and identity verification.
Copy Pro for individual users includes 250GB of storage for $9.99/month or $99/year.
Copy for Companies is Copy's enterprise-level service. Get started with 5 users for free, or add hundreds more if you like, at a cost that's 20-50% less than competing services.
Review
Copy is a program designed to provide you with easy access to your files by storing them on the company's servers. It syncs the files between all of your devices using Copy, so that you can easily access or share the files, no matter which device you are on.
Pros
Shared storage: One of the best features is how the company calculates its storage requirements. The total size of a given file is divided between the storage limits of all the people who are sharing the file. This differentiates it from some competitors who count the total size of the file against each person's limit. For example, if you share a 9GB file among three people, it will only count as 3GB for each person.
Great interface: The app looks great and is very easy to use. From the minute you're logged in, it's apparent how to add your files to the program.
Large free storage: The free option offered with a Copy account still gives you plenty of room to store several very large files. The free account option offers you 15GB of free space. This is massive compared to Dropbox's complimentary 2GB.
Cons
Setup problems: On setup, the program would not connect to the Copy server from the app for the creation of an account. After multiple tries it still wouldn't connect despite verifying that the Internet connection was operational. Upon setting up an account on the Copy website, however, the log-in feature from the app worked flawlessly.
Bottom Line
Copy is an excellent cloud storage and syncing program. If you're not already using a cloud-syncing and sharing program, this would be an excellent option.
