Sign up to “Copy” - 20GB Free Storage

Avatar

Hey guys,

A friend just sent this to me and it looks great.

COPY is basically like Dropbox but you get heaps of free storage.

When you sign up you get 15GB free storage, but if you use my referral link we both get an extra 5GB of storage.

Please use this link: https://copy.com?r=xfrNZa

You can then refer COPY to your friend and get an extra 5GB for everyone who signs up. This offer is only for a limited time while they generate hype about it.

It’s super easy and it really does look like a great platform.

Thanks.  grin

Just a warning,

Looking into their privacy policy they can use information you upload to target advertising and DO NOT ENCRYPTED your data so if they have a security breach anything you upload will be available on a platter.

If you can use a service that provides client side private key decrytion such as https://mega.co.nz/ or encrypt your files before you upload them.

We may use Personal Information to administer any special program you may have voluntarily entered into, such as a sweepstake, contest or promotion.
We may also combine your Personal Information with other information to provide and improve Copy, our content, and advertising
At times we may make certain Personal Information available to strategic partners and service providers that work with us to provide our services, or that help us market Copy. For example, we use third parties to process credit card information for orders in accordance with PCI compliance security guidelines.
It may be necessary − by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence − for us to disclose your Personal Information, Non Personal Information, and Private Data Files. We may also disclose information about you if we determine that for purposes of national security, law enforcement, or other issues of public importance, disclosure is necessary or appropriate.

We take reasonable steps to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems but cannot guarantee these security measures will prevent third-parties from obtaining Personal Information, Non Personal Information and Private Data Files by illegal actions or attacks. Should such an attack occur, we will notify you in accordance with local law and we will supply the appropriate authorities with available information on the third party in the event the attack comes under prosecution.

Interesting. I’ll be using it mostly for large file sharing I think. I won’t be putting any sensitive or personal information on there. Wouldn’t all the other storage cloud services pose similar risks?

Yeh for non sensitive files it will be fine just be really careful not to upload anything with personal information, it can be used for all sorts for fraud and identity theft and these companies waive any responsibility.

Lots of the other cloud storages have the same issue (dropbox for example), there are a couple that store everything encrypted on the servers and it is then decrypted locally on your pc / phone etc (have a look at http://www.cloudreviews.com/blog/encrypted-cloud-storage). Or you can look into just storing a Truecrypt archive on any of them

Edit: just realised i cracked triple post digits Yeeew shaka

Ok, installing.

Personally, I’m not going to be uploading anything private anyway.

If someone gets my snowboard videos, I think I’ll live.
