New Free Cloud Storage - 20GB

Neil_Sedaka · 2013-09-06 09:31:28

Apologies if this has not already been discussed elsewhere, but I just came across http://www.copy.com You get 15GB cloud storage for free and an additional 5GB free for everyone that signs up. Better deal than Dropbox in my opinion. The thing I really like about it is the sharing feature. Lets say you have a 12GB folder…

You get 15GB cloud storage for free and an additional 5GB free for everyone that signs up. Better deal than Dropbox in my opinion.

The thing I really like about it is the sharing feature.
Lets say you have a 12GB folder of custom ISO's and service packs and you share it with 3 other users, each user only uses 4GB of their data allowance.

I plan on using it for storing photos, various tools and ISO's I've gathered over the years, word and PDF files Etc.

If you sign up using the link below, you will get 20GB free (and I will also get an extra 5GB free added to my account )

I hope this is within the rules, don't want to be stepping on anyone's toes :eek:

Hope some of you find it useful.

I like signing up for cloud services early, they usually give away more space than necessary to kickstart themselves. Like SkyDrive and Dropbox, I have premium levels of storage for both, free because I signed up during their betas/launches

Yeah, according the the Copy website:

"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!"

Thanks for using the referral

And counting...

Since I don't believe into the cloud, I used a disposable email address and nuked the VM after the client installation, but you should receive your 5 GB referral bonus never the less.

Happy bunny here and thanks to all that used the referral

Anyone else that would like to use it is very welcome too
Be aware though that it's an introductory time limited offer, so get in quick before they stop giving away the freebies.

Don't forget to verify the link in the email they send you, and install the app, so your referrer gets their bonus

Just want to say a Big Thanks to all that used my referral link.

I still have a couple of pending installs and email verifications, but I'm delighted with the response here and I hope everyone benefits from the freebie.

As jmcc99_98 said earlier in the thread, "Feel free to share the love"
I have plenty to keep me going so consider using some other links provided.
I will of course be accepting anything sent my way too

Thanks guys, now all I need is a decent upload speed to make full use of the service.

Cheers.

I don't normally read T's&C's but I did for a change, and thought it worth pointing out this bit from https://www.copy.com/about/tos

Free Accounts

Copy allows you to store a certain amount of data free of charge. Copy reserves the right to change the amount of free storage or terminate Free Accounts at any time. Copy may, at times, award your account additional free storage through various promotions, such as a referral program. You must follow the rules and restrictions of any such promotion to be eligible for additional storage. All free storage on your Copy account is subject to the same restrictions contained in these terms. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Free Account is inactive for a significant period of time, then Copy may delete any or all of Your Files. At least 30 days notice will be provided to the associated email address(es) on a Copy account in the event of changes to the amount of free storage, account termination for any reason other than abuse, or deletion of data due to inactivity.

the bolding is mine.

Well at least they give you 30 days notice if you have been inactive for a significant period.

Wonder what they consider "significant"? A month? A year?

I suppose they can't have dead accounts on their servers taking up space.

Thanks for the heads up.

There's a couple of guys on fiverr.com increasing space.

Did it last year with Dropbox & currently have 22gb there.

Just did it with copy & now have 200gb

Gonna use it for home movies backup etc.

Oh brilliant - thanks. I had done this with Dropbox and I have 25gb which is more than I need. However I was looking for an online backup service for my photos and old files etc - dump them all up there as a just in case. This is perfect. I've just ordered a fiverr one to get 200gb - perfect!

And should the 5GB extra space show up straight away or does it take a while? I checked in and have nothing extra, checked the code too just in case, but I have posted it correctly.

Excellent thread.

One question... I have Win 7 on a ssd (C) and install all programs on E.

The Copy app doesn't give the option to change the default install location & installs to C.

Any ideas how to change it?

Cheers

You get the 5GB when the person using your link visits the link in the confirmation email AND has installed the app. I'm waiting for 6 people to install :mad:
