Sync.com review

Sync.com is a straightforward encrypted alternative to the big platforms. Every plan uses end-to-end encryption, and Sync says it does not track, share or sell app usage data. Personal 1 TB costs $9 a month billed annually in the first year ($108), rising to $12, with Solo 5 TB and a Personal Unlimited plan above it. File history runs from 90 days on 1 TB to 365 days on Unlimited, which is longer than most rivals. Sharing controls include passwords, expiry dates, download limits and preview-only links, and Sync CloudFiles keeps files in the cloud until you open them. Apps cover Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android and the web, and a 30-day money-back guarantee applies. Downsides: the discount is first year only, plans are single user so families need separate accounts, and the Unlimited plan may slow uploads beyond 10 TB.
