like?
The pricing page mentions some of the business features: http://www.copy.local/price/ Basically, you can setup companies, share items amongst employees, configure their access to the files, etc.
Nice to see someone using .local as the development domain.

Are you an actual employee or a PR minion?
renownedmedia and I are two of the developers of the Copy product. I can assure you that he is not a "PR minion" - he can sling code better than most.
Thanks - the rapidity with which they were answering questions and the username made me suspicious it was a PR campaign (professional)

Actually, everything the app does is through a RESTful API. This API is private and undocumented (for now). I can't make any promises as to what we will do with it in the future...
Small nit-pick on the About page: "Share view-only or let people to sync and edit" Grammar be bad.
Blindly copied and pasted. Fixing... :)

Could you be so kind as to post the viewport resolution of your tablet in both portrait and landscape mode?

#76Can you put some words up there about how safe my data would be? Because it looks like the site is based on twitter bootstrap, my mind has immediately led me to think you're doing the storage etc on a bootstrap budget. Potentially leaving it all up to S3. Seems this wont be the case as you are part of Barracuda Networks, can you put some more words up there to help ease my (and other users') concerns?
All of your data is encrypted and stored in the Barracuda Networks cloud, which is not based on a third-party service like S3.

@helloamar
Will you please open a support ticket by emailing support@copy.com?

#78The About section does not say who is behind. The only thing you have going for you is your domain name.
Actually, the very bottom of the About page has a link to and logo of Barracuda networks, but yeah - the about page needs a lot of work.
We added that logo because of some of the comments on here. :) We're definitely going to improve the site to give more information about what Copy is. Our main focus so far has been on the product.
Re: Copy, a competitor to Dropbox, launches today
#79As others have stated, I wish there was a bit more information about the service on the page. I use Dropbox and GDrive, but I'm not particularly fond of either of them. Aside from a slight price difference, what makes Copy stand out? For example, I have a 1Password file that I would like to share amongst my team for all service related passwords. Keeping this in sync with all of our devices is a serious pain, and oft…
I gave up on using any password manager program with any cloud sync service. I am back to plain old Excel file which I daily "backup" to the cloud using native backup service. I think for important and daily-used files, relying on cloud service (read: keeping and working off of cloud) is not trust-worthy. I'd rather keep things local and only use cloud for backup.
I keep my KeePass file in Dropbox, it means that file is actually on my computer but also synced to the cloud. Copy offers the same behaviour, unlike Wuala: in Wuala you can't access your files without having their Java-based monster running.

#80A friend of mine sent me a link to Copy and told me to sign up for it and that "it's like Dropbox." I just clicked his link to check it out and the first thing your website did was ask for permission to use desktop notifications (Safari/OS X). Of course, not even knowing what the website is I promptly rejected the prompt and then closed the tab.
My complaint with this is that why in the world would I blindly let a random website have extended permissions, before I even know what the website is?
Afte I got over it some hours later, I went back to copy.com to check it out and I found nothing in your website that would make me want to switch from Dropbox (for ease of use) or Spideroak (for encryption and security). One of the comments here said exactly what I'm thinking: I have no idea who you guys are, why I should trust you with my data, and that you'll even be around after a year.
From reading some comments here, apparently you're part of Barracuda Networks (no idea who this is, so it doesn't help) and some other snarky comments like "check out humans.txt" or "look at the html code and you'll see Facebook IDs…" No, no I'm not going to waste my time doing this.
