If you’re wondering where you should put your data after they’ve closed, you’ll be happy to know that there are many suitable alternatives to these services.
Copy.com and the business-focused CudaDrive will be shut down on May 1, according to an announcement made earlier this week from Barracuda Networks.
Backing up your data is important for any iPhone user. This can be done using iTunes and iCloud. iTunes handles the local backups, and iCloud handles the cloud backups.

Update: Copy shut down on May 1, 2016.
