Cloud Storage Services for Linux
Please Note: These instructions “just work” for Mint 17 Xfce. I'll update this page to provide any additional instructions as I use these on other Linux Desktops and Distributions.
Copy.com by Barracuda Networks
Copy.com Linux App References
I cannot recommend using a “Community Member” PPA. (a Software Repository that is not from either the organization or a developer writing that application.) So these instructions are instead based on the instructions provided by Barracuda Networks.
Copy.com Personal Account Referral Bonus
At this time, copy.com provides a bonus 5GB of storage for each referral – up to a maximum of 25GB.
For each referral, that means:
The person who is using the referral must log-in with a Copy.com App to claim this extra storage for both parties.
So if you know someone already using Copy.com, then get a referral link to sign-up from them.
Otherwise, the below link can be used to get 20GB when you sign-up. (15GB for signing up + 5GB for the referral bonus.)

Install Copy.com App on (Ubuntu) Linux
(A lightly edited version from the above reference link … which I use with Mint 17 Xfce)
If the Copy.com App is already installed, then do the following before downloading & installing a newer version:
press ALT-F2 (the ALT key and the F2 key), then type in the following command:
killall CopyAgent
-
Open a terminal.
Change to your Downloads folder.
cd Downloads
Extract the binaries. (substitute the actual file name for
<copy file>
)
Hint: For the file name, try using
copy_
then the
Tab key. (if multiple names match, type a few more letters and hit
Tab again)
tar xvf <copy file>
Change to the Barracuda Copy directory.
cd copy
Depending on your system, change to the directory for the 32-bit or 64-bit installation.
For
32-bit Linux systems
cd x86
For
64-bit Linux systems
cd x86_64
Run CopyAgent.
./CopyAgent --installOverlay
Or if reinstalling (a newer version of) the Copy.com Application try
./CopyAgent --installOverlay &
When the Barracuda Copy app launches, enter your Copy.com account User Email and Password.
Click Login
Click Continue to create the Copy folder in your home directory, OR click Select a Different Folder if you want to sync another folder with Barracuda Copy.
Click Continue to download all your existing files to this computer, OR click Choose Files to Sync if you want to select which files and folder to download.
