Question

I mainly use Google Drive Desktop for backing up pictures, and files on Windows, but I have yet to find a good alternative to use on Linux/Ubuntu. I know about Dropbox, however they don't have a large amount of free space and their prices for upgrading are, well, pricy. I am mainly looking for a tool that can sync files so I don't lose my work in case my computer has a melt down.

I am not just looking for a free service. I am looking for something that has cheaper upgrade rates than dropbox, and also has more default, free space.

Is there an alternative to Google Drive that isn't Dropbox?

I need about 15GB.

Explanation / Answer

Since you want 15GB space and Dropbox like functionality in Linux, I would say Copy is your best option right now. With a free account, you get to receive 15GB and access from Windows, Linux, Mac and Android.
Upgrade policy

The upgrade costs work like this:

250GB - $10/month or $99/year
500GB - $15/month or $149/year

If you want to start with 20GB you can use this link to sign up. It is an invite from me.

Besides, every time you invite someone to copy, you get an extra 5GB.
Usage

I installed Copy in December 2013 and am using it for non essential files that do not get changed often. I have two Linux boxes to sync. I report no problems what so ever but I am not giving it a heavy usage yet.
