And I mostly do this stuff through the command line, and they have three (!!!) programs to do what dropbox does in one, plus the optional dropbox.py which is really slick.
But then, they have had longer so maybe copy.com will improve drastically.
I notice in their beta they have gotten rid of the shared with me folder. Maybe because I don't have any?
But it seemed kind of silly to have that folder outside of the main sync, and made it confusing to see where your stuff was.
The client download comes with both 32-bit and 64-bit folders, which is a waste of bandwidth and makes me have to manually set this stuff up. With dropbox I run their installer command which downloads the latest release, extracts to the home directory, and is all ready to use with dropbox.py
Basically, dropbox seems a lot more polished. Exactly like, well, like they had a lot more time to streamline every last bit of the interface, website, and general end-to-end experience.

Ah I see you are on Linux. I have no clue what the Linux versions looks like. I am Windows gal myself.
The Windows version looks to me like the Dropbox interface but an older version before DB got too fancy. You can actually place a folder shortcut in the Copy's folder and it upload the folder. This is a pretty cool feature. I don't recommended doing it to your actually Live Calibre library folder but I have backup of it in my Dropbox folder and I just copy its shortcut to Copy's folder and it uploads it and keeps it sync.
I keep my live version of Calibre library on my external.
