Sync.com
End-to-end encrypted cloud storage.
What it is
Sync.com stores files with end-to-end encryption, so the provider cannot read your content. End-to-end encryption means a subpoena to the provider does not produce your files, which is why it appears in regulated and legal workflows. The cost is convenience: no server-side search or preview, and losing your password can mean losing access.
