Secure cloud storage with end-to-end encryption
Grade: A — Score: 85/100
Sync is a secure cloud storage platform with end-to-end encryption, file access across Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, and web, plus features like realtime backup, file history, recovery, and advanced sharing controls.
It helps teams connect internal teams, external partners, clients, customers, documents, files, computers and mobile devices together seamlessly, with tools for team shared folders, custom branding, file requests, comments, and document previews.
Security and compliance are positioned as core benefits, but users still need to consider plan limits, promotional pricing that applies for the first year, and upload speed management that may apply beyond 10 TB of total account storage.
Teams 1TB: $4.50 per user, per month, billed annually; 3 user minimum
Teams 2TB: $6.75 per user, per month, billed annually; 3 user minimum
Teams 10TB: $11.25 per user, per month, billed annually; 3 user minimum
Sync Enterprise: Custom quote; minimum 100 users
Yes. Sync says its core cloud storage is 100% private with end to end encryption. The vendor also notes that some optional features can require temporary server-side processing, so privacy-sensitive workflows should be reviewed before enabling previews, recovery, or similar features.
Yes. Sync supports secure links, centralized folders, client file portals, and branded sharing for external recipients. The pricing page also documents read-only access, expiry dates, download limits, password protection, and remote share wipe for shared folders.
Yes. Sync includes real-time backup and sync, file history, restore of previous versions, and recovery of deleted files. The team plans publish 180-day or 365-day history depending on the plan, so the available retention depends on what you buy.
Sync works across Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, and the web. It also integrates with Windows File Explorer and Mac Finder, and the pricing page documents files on demand for desktop use.
Sync supports team shared folders, administrator accounts, role-based access controls, admin delegation, centralized billing, group-level share folder management, 2FA enforcement, and user password management for teams. That makes it suitable when you need shared storage plus administrative control rather than only individual accounts.
Sync’s public team plans have a 3 user minimum and are billed annually, while Sync Enterprise is a separate quote-based option for companies with 100 or more users. Enterprise is positioned for enhanced org-wide controls and custom requirements, so it is the better fit when you need a negotiated deployment rather than a standard team plan.
Yes. Sync says it offers a zero-risk 30-day free trial. The pricing page also says there is a full 30-day money back guarantee, which gives buyers a defined evaluation window.
Sync says your data is set for deletion after termination, and that deletion may occur as early as 30 days after the termination date. The DPA also says the processor will completely and irrevocably delete controller data on termination unless it must be retained by law, so customers should retrieve needed files before ending the account.
Yes, Sync’s pricing page states SOC 2 Type 1 compliance and GDPR compliance. The DPA adds that the processor will delete controller data on termination unless it is legally required to store it, which is relevant for privacy and retention planning.
