During this week, Google announced a change of strategy for its cloud by granting a total space of 15 GB shared for free by the services Google Drive, Gmail and Google+ Photos. In the wake of this announcement, another cross-platform cloud storage application has announced an increase in its free offer by raising the limit from the usual 5GB to an attractive 15GB.
The Copy application provides free cloud space to store 15 GB online files which can easily be increased to 17 or more by doing some advertising on social networks.
UPDATE: Copy.com is closed and will no longer be available.
SEE THEN other cloud storage services for alternatives.
In Copy it is possible to upload files, including films, documents, music, videos, etc., using the interface of its website or synchronizing them online with the application that can be installed on Windows, Linux and Mac PCs .
Using the Copy program you can keep the files uploaded online synchronized between the various computers as is also the case with Skydrive, Google Drive and Dropbox.
A special folder is created in Windows in the path C: \ Users \ username .
In the synchronization program options you can move this folder where you want.
Always in the options it is possible to indicate a folder shared on Copy
The files uploaded to Copy.com also become available on Android tablets and smartphones, on Samsung, iPhone and iPad thanks to free applications for Android and iOS .
To download the various apps, press the " Install App " link on the top left of the Copy.com main page.
For each file uploaded online in Copy, a unique link is also generated so that the file can be shared with friends, via email or on Facebook.
For each file that is uploaded, when opened in the browser, the hotlink address can be read, making it possible to use these files also on sites and forums (thus making Copy a hosting).
File sharing is unlimited in size, even if you share a video or movie with HD quality of 2GB or more.
Not surprisingly, with Cloud.com you can also stream videos and listen to music uploaded online to the cloud .
Transfers are quick and fast, more than Dropbox.
Copy therefore becomes another piece to increase the space of Cloud services up to 100 GB and more.
With a Tweet you can increase the available space from 15 GB to 17 GB and you can get 5 GB of bonus by inviting new users to register them on Copy with a referral code such as //copy.com?r=znLATw.
The invitation program is, at the moment, the most generous there is and you can even get to 100GB of space if you organize among friends.
After Sugarsync has withdrawn the free plan, today I consider Cloud.com the most convenient service to use and, above all, the most free and convenient one, with space to use without limit, the most generous for a free storage account.
