In their own words

pCloud

pCloud is cloud storage with apps for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows, plus access through my.pCloud.com. Its free plan provides up to 10 GB, and no credit card is required to start. Storage can extend to 2 TB. The service can back up phone photos and videos automatically and keep important files available offline. Users can share files and folders with passwords and expiration dates, and file versioning is available. Files in the Crypto folder use client-side encryption and zero-knowledge privacy. Users can choose storage in the United States or European Union. Business plans add access levels, teams, shared folders, comments, activity logs, and recovery of file versions from up to 180 days earlier. They also support branded sharing links with a logo, cover, and message. Business storage is GDPR-compliant and ISO-27001 certified. The Business 3 Users / 3 TB plan costs $29.97 a month and includes a 30-day free trial.

SugarSync

SugarSync combines cloud file synchronization, online backup, file access and sharing. It lets users select folders to sync across all or chosen devices, and synced edits become available across devices after synchronization. Sharing can be limited to named people with viewing or editing access, or provided through public links. The service also includes file versioning, business admin controls and remote wipe: synced files can be removed from a Windows or Mac computer while remaining in the cloud. Mobile users can access, share and manage files on iOS and Android. SugarSync runs on Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows. Personal storage plans list 100 GB for $750 a month, 250 GB for $1,000 a month, 500 GB for $1,900 a month, and 1 TB for free. Business 1000 GB costs $55 a month and lists admin controls, live phone support and computer remote wipe; Business Custom is for 10+ users, with no price listed. Plans include a 30-day free trial, and hosting is in the United States.
