Sync.com Review: Free, Privacy-Focused Cloud Storage

Overview

Sync.com is a cloud storage service built around privacy and security, positioned as a private home for both business files and personal media, with a free version alongside paid personal and business plans.

User feedback

One user who has run the free version for a few months reports no problems so far and values the strong security, seeing it as well suited to backing up highly confidential business documents as well as family photo and video libraries.

Requested improvements

The same feedback points out gaps. There is no Linux app. The user would like monthly billing as an alternative to paying for a full year up front, ideally with three-month and six-month options too, even if shorter terms cost slightly more, since an annual payment is not affordable for everyone. Larger personal tiers of 5TB or more would also help people whose collections outgrow 1 to 2TB; this user holds roughly 3 to 4TB of personal files, with business data expected to exceed that within the year.

Takeaway

Sync.com earns praise for security, but the upfront annual cost is a hurdle for small businesses: this user plans to subscribe to the 2-user 10TB business plan once its yearly price fits the budget.
