Thanks Daniel, and Hi People, I would not get rid of my Dropbox, but I can see the benefits of keeping both these applications. 'Copy' perhaps for larger video & image files. Dropbox for my documents day to day use?
I did download 'Copy' and create an account using Daniel's referral link (so I won't post my referral link as well ;-) even though more GBs would be nice). I have been giving 'Copy' a quick testing. Installed 'Copy' on my MBP and installed 'Copy App' on my iPad. Placed some images 13.10MB and a video file 69.6MB into my 'Copy' Folder (which is created on your computer in your home directory when you install the application). As long as the Copy application is running & you are logged in to your account, the files are automatically uploaded to the cloud and are accessible via Copy.com and any other computer that you have running Copy, or iPhone or iPad. The files took similar time as Dropbox to upload (my ADSL1 connection is not very fast..NBN hopefully will improve this). As soon as they were uploaded, I opened 'Copy' App on my iPad and all files had also synced to the iPad App. The interface of the iPad App is very pleasing. 'Copy' automatically syncs images into a 'Images' folder, Videos into Videos, Audio into Audio, documents into documents, presentations into Presentations. Like Dropbox, 'Copy' makes it easy to share files with friends, family & co-workers. Right-Click (Control-Click) on any file in the Copy folder to copy a Web link to it. Whoever you send the link in an email, iMessage etc to will be able to view and download the files. You can also share entire folders. When sharing files or folders, you can choose the view-only option or allow people to edit and synchronize the files as a way of collaborating on a project. >From the research I have done I have not found any security issues or negative >reviews. As always there are Pros and Cons to both Dropbox and Copy. Which ever one suits your purposes best... Or use both.
