What is Sync.com?
Sync.com is a cloud storage service that uses end-to-end encryption, so the company says it cannot see the files you store. It syncs and backs up files across Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android and the web. Users can share files and folders through links or team shared folders.
Sharing controls include passwords, expiry dates, download limits, preview-only links and per-user folder permissions. Higher plans add a custom-branded client file portal, file requests and up to 365 days of file history for recovering deleted or ransomware-hit files. Sync CloudFiles puts files on demand in Explorer and Finder, and Sync Vault keeps archives in the cloud only.
Sync started in 2011 and says over 2.7 million people use it. It fits privacy-minded individuals and professionals in healthcare, legal and finance, with HIPAA, GDPR and PIPEDA compliance and SOC 2 Type 1.
