Dropbox replacement for online file storage

I just signed up for Copy.com and get 5GB free online storage and another 2GB for tweeting my sign up. It works just like Dropbox in that it has an web portal version, Mac OS and PC app versions, and iOS and Android mobile versions. Plus it allows sharing through https links. I have now moved all of my pdfs, pictures, and other files that I have in my apps to Copy.com. I have noticed a significant improvement in download speeds to my iOS devices. I was running out of room in my Dropbox and was getting ready to spend the $100/year to upgrade. Now I will not have to do that with the extra space I get for free from Copy.com. I hope this helps some of you save money and increase your apps efficiency.

Just for the record, I have my hosting with Network Solutions. I'm not saying do or don't use dropbox, I'm just saying if it comes to dropping $100, you may as well get much more, like MySQL, PHP, Web, etcetera... http://www.networksolutions.com/web-hosting/hosting-package-comparison.jsp There are a lot of free resources... but if you're going to pay, get more than what you want. At the time I signed up with NetSol, there really wasn't any competition; they were it if you wanted a domain name, DNS, etcetera... But now there is a myriad of selections and deals to be had. I haven't found a reason to switch, but it doesn't mean new users shouldn't comparison shop. Find the best deal for your needs. Cheers! -- Smug
