You have to pay for a year at a time, so multiply those figures by 12 and that's your up-front cost for the year – there's no monthly payment option with. If you're an individual, you can sign up for $8 (about £6.40) a month, $12 (about £9.60) a month, or $15 (about £12) a month for 2TB, 3TB or 4TB of storage respectively.
You can try out with 5GB of storage for free, but you're probably going to need more room than that. Unlike some of its rivals, doesn't work with a host of third-party applications or make an API available for other people to use – it sees this as an advantage though, reducing the number of ways in which your account can be exposed, and keeping the inner workings of the platform as secret as possible. They include two-factor authentication, end-to-end encryption, AES-256 bit encryption and the use of secure TLS tunnels to protect anyone from snooping on your files while they're being transferred to and from the servers. Security is a very important part of the overall experience, with a whole host of features included to give you some extra peace of mind. You can throttle the upload and download speeds used by sync if you need to give bandwidth priority to other applications on your system. 1GB of data was uploaded in around half an hour, and that's almost certainly limited by our home broadband connection – we suspect can go much faster. We found the tools on the desktop and the web very polished and quick in use, with transfer rates good as well. The mobile apps, like the web interface, are straightforward and easy to navigate, even if they're rather plain in appearance (aesthetics really aren't the primary consideration for a cloud storage service). There's not all that much to the interface on the desktop, besides progress indicators and a recent changes list, and so you need to go to the web interface to access old file versions and for advanced sharing options. Which files get synced to which computers is all nicely handled through the options screen in the desktop client.
If you prefer, you can upload and keep files on the web without having local copies on your synced computers, which is handy if you want to save some space on your desktop machines. The web interface is slick and easy to use, and offers another way of getting your files up to the cloud. Network drives and external drives can't be included, nor can files and folders outside of your main folder, so the software is a little bit limited in that way. Installing on Windows or macOS is a relatively painless exercise, and the application places a folder on your hard drive – anything dropped in here then syncs to the cloud and to any other computers where you've got the software installed.
