About
Sync is a cloud storage service that stores files with end-to-end encryption and supports access from Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and web browsers. It includes file sharing, real-time backup and sync, file history and recovery, document previews, offline access, selective sync, desktop integration with File Explorer and Finder, mobile apps, and account activity logs.
The free offering includes 5 GB of cloud storage, while paid individual plans increase storage to 150 GB, 1 TB, or 5 TB. The pricing page also lists a 30-day free trial for the paid plans, plus unlimited data transfer on all individual plans and security features such as end-to-end encryption, no third-party tracking, and compliance support.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is a 30-day trial, so its value is anchored to the cheapest paid plan rather than a perpetual allowance. The entry plan is $4/month, and the trial exposes most of the core experience with only the time limit holding it back, so about $4/month is a fair estimate. A credit card is not clearly required from the page text, but the offer is still time-limited, which keeps it below a full paid subscription.
