Unfortunately not available for Linux.
Yes it is. I thought the same when I clicked "Install App", but the big button in that popup window downloaded a tarball for linux.
Copy, a competitor to Dropbox, launches today

#12Reading through.. And no mention of client-side encryption.
I'm not sure I see the point - We have lots of competition in this space.
Re: Copy, a competitor to Dropbox, launches today
#13Honestly, it's hard to look at this website and have some information stick in my mind.
It's gorgeous, but I think the design is overpowering the information flow (or lack there of).
That drop section for files is absolutely useless. Why would I drop my file in there as my VERY first step? I haven't even begun to learn about the features before I'm asked to drop my files.
Too much design, it looks perfect, but unfortunately, that's a bad thing this early in the launch.
Only recently did Dropbox start to ramp up design. You can't compete with simplicity. In design, in language, in the story etc..
Sorry to go on like this.. maybe I don't have a storage problem now that i'm a dropbox pro user.

#14Does it have LAN sync and native integrated get-me-the-URL-for-this-file? If not, forget it. The about page says nothing about who is behind this. I have zero confidence in apps with no "about us". The market positioning seems to be trying to take a little from Dropbox, a little from Box. To target the Enterprise market, as Box does, this is orders of magnitude off what is needed. Sorry to be so negative, but technic…
You can share files between different users on the same LAN who have the application installed.
You can right click on a file from Explorer/Finder and get a share link.
The about page update is coming soon, in the meantime go to humans.txt :p

Traffic from the desktop clients to the server is all done over HTTPS

#16I'm curious, what is your advantage over Dropbox, GDrive, Box, etc? I like the design, but I don't see another reason to switch.
It has a lot more configurable business options, that's the biggest differentiator.
The cost/GB is a bit less than Dropbox, too.

Oh, and we're a project of Barracuda Networks.
Re: Copy, a competitor to Dropbox, launches today
#18Checking the TOS I found a reference to Barracuda Networks.. Leading me to believe it's a startup within a larger company (I had been wondering how a startup could afford to buy the copy.com domain).
Given the above assumption it may have the funding to sustain the service even if it experiences slow growth. And also suggests that the company has the networking know how to scale their service (unlike my experience with bitcasa.com so far).

If you look at the code, in the FB Open Graph meta data the admin (fb:admins" content="643356033") is https://www.facebook.com/643356033 / Karl Tiedemann. On Twitter (@soapko) "Chief UX Designer for Barracuda Networks and http://Copy.com . Designer of The Perfect Heist boardgame."
Maybe that helps.
