Sync.com review: Free 5GB Backup
Sync.com comes with great security out of the box, with
end-to-end encryption across all of its plans. Syncing is a breeze, and you
have a great deal of control over any files you share with others. All of this
comes with competitive pricing that most other providers struggle to match.
Main Features
Sync.com Features and Highlights:
- Security
and Privacy: One of the main selling points of Sync.com is its strong
focus on security and privacy. It uses end-to-end encryption, meaning that
only you and those you share files with can access the content. Sync.com
does not have access to your encryption keys, ensuring that your data
remains private.
- Zero-Knowledge
Architecture: Sync.com employs a zero-knowledge architecture, which
means that your files are encrypted on your device before they are
uploaded to the server. This prevents even Sync.com from being able to
decrypt your files.
- User
Control: Users have the ability to control who can access their shared
files and folders. You can set permissions, passwords, and expiration
dates for shared links.
- Collaboration:
Sync.com allows for collaboration by allowing you to share files and
folders with others. You can also set permissions for different users to
ensure controlled access.
- Cross-Platform:
Sync.com offers applications for various platforms, including Windows,
macOS, iOS, and Android. This enables you to access your files from
different devices.
- Versioning
and File Recovery: The service provides version history, allowing you
to access previous versions of files. This can be useful in case of
accidental changes or deletions.
- File
Sharing: You can easily share files with others using shareable links,
and you can choose whether recipients can only view the files or also edit
them.
- Selective
Sync: This feature allows you to choose which files and folders are
synced to your local device, helping you manage storage space.
- 2FA
and Remote Wipe: Sync.com offers two-factor authentication (2FA) for
an added layer of security. Additionally, you can remotely wipe your
synced devices if they are lost or stolen.
- Pricing:
Sync.com offers both free and paid plans. The paid plans come with
increased storage and additional features.
Pricing Plans
There’s a free 5GB account available (not to be mistaken for
the free trial of the paid tier—see the screenshot below). End-users can
upgrade that storage to 200GB for $5 a month, 2TB for $8 a month, and 6TB for
$20 a month.
