Sync.com review

Sync.com has a free plan, so entry cost can be nothing. Paid storage starts at $4, and a terabyte costs $144 a year. That per-terabyte figure is above the €82.87 site median, so buyers who fill a drive should weigh it before committing.

The free plan holds 5 of storage, a set of your own devices, a few password protected links, team shared folders, a set amount of data transfer and version history. Enough for a short trial or light backup, though a terabyte of paid storage runs at $144 a year.

Sync.com encrypts files so they stay unreadable to the provider, and states that there is no third-party tracking and that app usage data is not tracked, shared or sold. Its certifications and frameworks cover SOC 2 Type 1, HIPAA and GDPR, which cover how data is handled for regulated customers.

Apps cover Windows, macOS and iOS, so the same account reaches desktop, mobile and web. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, which adds a phone route alongside email and a help centre for anyone who prefers to talk to someone.

The service is run by Sync.com Inc., headquartered in Canada, and its terms sit under CA. The company was founded in 2011. It also holds SOC 2 Type 1, HIPAA and GDPR, which cover how data is handled for regulated customers.

The Sync.com free plan holds 5, while MEGA offers 20 and Degoo offers 20 of free storage. On paid storage, Sync.com charges $144 a year for a terabyte, against the $119.88 listed for Apple Inc.

The free plan already includes password protected links and team shared folders, so a small group can share without a paid account. The same file encryption and the same apps on Windows, macOS and iOS apply for everyone in the group. Bigger groups should weigh $144 a year per terabyte.

It suits people who want private storage with a free plan to start, plus a clear paid step at $4. Buyers needing lots of space should compare first, since $144 a year sits above the €82.87 site median, and free-storage rivals start higher at 20 and 20.
