About Sync.com
Sync.com is a Toronto-based storage service that encrypts files end to end by default, so the company cannot read what you store. It covers the usual sync-and-share basics: desktop apps that sync a folder, selective sync and a vault for archive-only files, password-protected and expiring links, file requests, and version history with deleted-file recovery. Because of the zero-knowledge design, there are trade-offs: no in-browser document editing beyond an optional Office integration, limited search inside files, and slower previews than mainstream services. There is a small free plan and paid plans for individuals and teams, billed monthly or annually, with frequent first-year discounts. Desktop apps exist for Windows and macOS (no native Linux client), plus iOS, Android and the web. It is a sensible middle ground for people who want Dropbox-style sharing without giving a provider access to their files.
Best for: Privacy-minded people and small teams who still need easy sharing links.
