Der wahre Unterschied
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
iCloud stands out with Seamless sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac and iCloud Drive with Finder and Files app integration. Sync.com counters with End-to-end encryption by default and Zero-knowledge privacy.
iCloud's Achilles heel: terrible experience on windows and android — and 5gb free in 2026 is embarrassingly stingy. Sync.com's: no native document editing — you have to download files, edit locally, and re-sync every time. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
