And we know that if you give data to Hitch for safekeeping it would be impossible for it to be lost. (Hitch, could I use you instead of a cloud drive?)
Does anybody know what Copy's maximum file upload size is? And does anybody know if Dropbox or Copy is easier to use, especially regarding syncing files?

Copy.com is an offering of Barracuda Networks which has been around a long time (since 2003). The Copy.com product I think is 1-2 years old, but the company is much older then DropBox.

This is not some new fly by night player in this space.
And you can recover deleted files:

As for max upload size, I have uploaded multi-gig files and not had any problems, but I have not looked to see if there actually is a limit.
Seriously - it has identical offering in features to DropBox. It is exactly as easy to use - because it works the same way.
As I have mentioned, I have DropBox also - 18gb worth of free space there built 500meg at a time. I think its a great service, and it was the best choice until
Copy.com came out. Now I think they are second best, but only really lose cause they are stingy on space.
