Dropbox/Google Drive Alternative - Have I found it?

I heavily rely on and work with cloud storage - but I don't want to pay for it :b.

Barracuda Networks created their new client called Copy. Aesthetically looks like dropbox and it also seems to work like it.

But why not stick to dropbox?
Dropbox is limited to 16gb and I can only get there through referring a large number of friends where you get 500mb per addition (which is frankly not enough).

Copy, on the other hand offers 15gb + 5gb free storage (if you use this link) REMOVED, and you get 5gb per friend that joins - uncapped!

My question is are there any other alternatives that can match Copy? Copy seems to be perfect but before I commit all my files I would like some other opinions. Has anyone used or heard of copy? Here is the link again REMOVED
thanks!

Well with new Google Drive pricing you will struggle to find anything better!
I mean 100GB will cost you $2p/m or 1TB for $10 p/m. I mean I know you said you don't like paying for things... but I bet you spend many times more on beer/snacks every week! Obviously there is the question of privacy. Some people claim Google is already knowing too much but all SkyDrive, Google Drive, Dropboxes and stuff are all the same. There is no "real" privacy any more. You just have to agree to that to some extend. If you really want to go emo about your privacy then you can host your own cloud using "OwnCloud" (or similar) software.

Do what I do, use Google Drive (or any other cloud solution) and then use TrueCrypt to encrypt your files. Hope this helps.
