Just letting my fellow Android owners know about a new cloud storage option, most similar to Dropbox but not unlike Box (minus the upload limit), Google Drive, SugarSync, etc.
As a limited time launch bonus, they're offering a 5GB bonus storage to who use a referral link.
It's as simple as click the link, sign up, confirm your email address, install the app to your phone.
Enjoy your 10GB FREE cloud storage.
Copy have responded to Google increasing users' storage across Google+, Google Drive etc and have decided to increase Copy users' storage to 15GB too. So forget 10GB, enjoy your 20GB
It also doesn't expire.

For anyone that hasn't been able to get in on the 50GB giveaways from Box.net, they are now offering anyone who downloads their Android app and signs up in the next month 50GBs of cloud storage.

The only drawback is that uploads are limited to 100MB.

Thanks Brian, it worked.
Worked for me. Thanks!
Worked for me as well! 50gb lifetime on my account
Good looking out, thanks!
Nice find... thank you!
just got mine too, now what to do with all this space, can i backup my entire phone to it somehow?
Thank you very much for the info, I will take an extra 50 GB any time +1
very nice!!!
Good looking out!
The 100MB file size limit is very disappointing and I hope they change it in the near future. What's stunning is that the earlier version of this promotion, with the HP TouchPad for example, 50GB accounts also came with a 1GB file size limit. I can confirm this because I have since commandeered my friend's account with those limits.
There was also a way to to get 50GB under the LG Android promotion (we just edited build.prop, which is what the box.net app checked), but that too came with the 100MB limit.
It's great to have 50GB lifetime storage for free, but I really wish they upped the limit to >300MB. I find myself using my Dropbox (24GB storage, 300MB limit via mobile, unlimited file size via desktop). Write to BOX and ask for bigger limit, or post in their forums!
Sweet i'll take 50, thank you
Phonearena pointed me in that direction but still got it. Good lookn out

Too bad they want you to pay to use their file sync program. Guess I'll be sticking with dropbox. Thanks for the link though.

Yes, I appreciate 50GB free storage, but without sync it is pretty useless. The point for me of having cloud storage is to backup my computer and have access to all my files in the cloud from my portable devices and to keep the files in sync from all these devices. I certainly don't need 50GB of storage to upload a few files from my phone. So will keep using dropbox, until I can figure away to sync.
Hate to sound ungrateful, it just is not that useful at this point.
What is your favorite cloud storage solution? I have been testing a lot of them lately, trying to find a service with as many functionalities as possible, keeping it fast, free and being reliable. AFAIK they all offer an android app. Here are my personal experiences:
- dropbox: http://www.dropbox.com
We do get 25gb of storage with dropbox, but I personaly don't like the fact that I have to put everything in a dropbox folder on my pc to have them synchronized.
There is an add-on to circumvent the problem, but I am not sold:
http://satyadeepk.in/dropbox-folder-sync/
- box.net: I somehow also got 50gb for free on box.net. The service is very good, albeight the web interface is a bit sluggish. Also the sync app is unfortunately limited to paying customer.
http://www.box.net
- sugarsync: my personal favorite, it has everything you may wish, unfortunately you only get 5gb for free. With respect to functionalities, it is the best. Also the web interface is very fast:
http://www.sugarsync.com
Alternatively my referral link if you want to help: sugarsync with my referral
- google drive: I haven't tested it myself. It also offer only 5gb free. Do you guys have any experience with this service?
https://drive.google.com/start#home
- cx.com This is quite a nice service, offering many functionalities and 10gb for free. I tried it myself and unfortunately it struggled very much with handling a high number of files.
http://www.cx.com
- other services you may suggest?
Seeing as you get 25 GB Dropbox I didn't try any other. I do not use cloud storage much enough to really be bothered finding a better one.
Since I haven't used any other I won't vote, but I use DB and don't really feel the need to complain! Will, however, follow this thread to see if any interesting info shows up. And thanks for the breakdown in the OP!
skydrive offered 25gb for free too i think,.. but Dropbox is my fav. 40gb is enough for me (25+x with invites an other promo things)
Tried out google drive and liked it, I only went back to dropbox because you cant save files onto your phone from the google drive app. (unless im doing it wrong)
Hey guys, I recently just decided to join the Dropbox/ Cloud storage initiative. I found the best possible Cloud storage service called SugarSync.
The best thing about it, is that unlike Dropbox, You can sync any folder on your pc, as well as having a Universal folder that syncs with every device like Dropbox.
The second best thing is that you get 5GB of storage instead of 2GB, and upto 32GB through referrals, unlike 16GB in Dropbox.
The last thing I love is that with SugarSync you can Sync entire folders with your phone unlike Dropbox, where you can only sync a file at a time.
Anyway instead of me talking about it have a try for yourself. Just click on this link SugarSync, to get 5.5GB storage instead of the 5GB that comes with it, or click the link in my Signature.
Hope you like it as much as I do.
Hi Guys,
I was forced to move to a different online storage service due to Sugarsync going paid-only. Copy by Barracuda is a great service, and the best thing about it, it lets you migrate all your data from any online storage service, directly, not wasting you downloads or uploads.
"Copy" has a great Android App
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.copy
To get the full 20GB, click on this link , which gives you the 15GB free plus 5GB bonus storage.

No difference between dropbox
I look at the intro, but think most of the function dropbox already have
I know that if you're on a 32GB version of this phone you may already be running out of HD space. Just wanted to spread the word that there is FREE android app (also Windows/MAC desktop version) called COPY that will give you 15GB of free cloud storage. If you use the referral code in my signature you can get an extra 5GB.
I have over 120GB worth of permanent free cloud storage by using the referral system!
One of the neat features that I use is that whenever I am on WiFi the COPY app will automatically start to upload any new photos or videos on my phone. It's super easy to download photos/videos you have saved on the cloud and is also easy to send a link to them to another person from within the app.
Just thought this info may be useful to those of you who are used to having an external SD card full of media and no longer have that option.
good for you. Referral posts are not permitted on xda and fyi you get 100gb of free storage with onedrive. Bye
Mod Edit
Small referrals are permitted in your signature.
There is no need for a thread as well
