How we judged this
Fixed before anything was ranked
What we look at
- Versioning and deleted-file recovery measured in months
- Bulk download of everything without a per-file dance
- Client-side encryption offered, at least as an option
- Real sync, including selective sync on a small laptop
- Egress charges published, if there are any
Helps if you have it: A documented full-account export and the published retention window for deleted files.
