Maybe, but imho I doubt it.
Dropbox does a really good job at what it does. I prefer a different security policy (I don';t like how they lied about not being able to read your files, then later saying yes they can if the government requests them, but shows employees can and do look at files).
The clincher as always is standards, everything supports Dropbox, that's a feature you can't just add to a new service, it will have to be absolutely amazing to get around that. Because there are clones to Dropbox, there have been for a long time now, yet no one bothers to support them in apps like the one you mentioned 1Password.
I saw copy, and thought about signing up just to get an account started, but didn't feel it was worth the effort as a little more space isn't even remotely worth losing dropbox. As more players come in, Dropbox will get even more aggressive with their space. But it is pretty easy to get around 20GB w/ Dropbox on a free account. I have 28GB on 5 of my accounts.

Thanks Christopher!
Yes I do love Dropbox... syncs/backs-up my 1Password, Contacts and Transmit and more apps. Don't know how well Copy can sync apps or other capabilities but I just like the free storage space of 15GB+ to start.
I've never heard of Sugarsync... so maybe Copy will take a different approach and give Dropbox a run for it's money!
Best,
John
