Are stored files guaranteed to stay on US soil?
Yes. All of our data centers are currently located in the US, and if we do offer overseas storage, we'll make that an explicit choice.

#42As 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.

#43The About section does not say who is behind. The only thing you have going for you is your domain name.

#44There's a buried comment in here about the login being a javascript popup. Here's a normal HTML page for doing logins: https://www.copy.com/auth/login/

You're employees of https://www.barracudanetworks.com/ , you're funded by them?
I was wondering that too. The ToS says "Barracuda Networks" at the top. https://www.copy.com/about/tos/

#46That must've been an expensive domain name purchase.

#47Honestly, 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 unfort…
The purpose of the homepage is that if you need to quickly upload a file and give someone a link, just drop a file and you're done. It lets people know how easy it is to share files.
We're going to work on getting more information about the product on the site really quickly.

#48Unfortunately 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.
They definitely need to label it better then. I know the wording, 'also available for Windows and Mac' should have explained it to me, but my brain was being dumb and all I saw was Window/Mac and I just left the site.

#49That must've been an expensive domain name purchase.
If you read the comments you'll see that someone was able to hunt down the price...
