Encrypted storage where only you hold the key
Sync encrypts everything before it leaves the machine, so the company cannot read what you store even if it wanted to. For a creator holding unreleased footage or a client's raw files, that is the difference between a policy and a guarantee. End-to-end encryption also means a forgotten password loses the data, with nobody able to reset it for you.
Our note
The encryption is the product, and it cuts both ways: nobody at Sync can read your files, and nobody at Sync can recover them if you lose the password. Write it down somewhere that is not the encrypted drive.
Wasabi
Object storage at one rate, with no egress fee
Wasabi sells cloud storage as a flat rate per terabyte and charges nothing to get the data back out, which is the line item that makes a bill from the big clouds unpredictable. For an archive of finished footage that gets pulled occasionally, that is the whole calculation. It speaks the same API as S3, so most backup software already knows how to talk to it. There is a minimum retention period, and it is worth reading before moving anything.
Our note
The no-egress promise is the whole reason to be here, and it only pays off if you actually pull data back occasionally. For a write-once archive nobody ever reads, cold storage elsewhere is cheaper, and the minimum retention period means short-lived files cost more than the headline rate suggests.
