Sync.com uses a zero knowledge security setup to back up and sync folders and files across multiple computers. Read the Cloudwards.net review. I have an individual account, but we have two desktop and three laptop Macs in our house. My wife has personal files on two of them and I have personal files on three of them. We have many shared files, like vacation photos. I think the "individual" account limit is five synced devices, not the number of actual users.
We can each check-off the files and folders we want to sync to our personal computers' User/Sync folders. With the check-off feature, some files only sync to my computers and some only sync to my wife's computers. It's very slick. When I click save on an open file, the icon spins for a second or a few seconds, never longer, and then everything in the file has gone to Sync.com's cloud and back out to any of our other computers that have that file checked for inclusion in their User/Sync folder.
We also have local Time Machine and Carbon Copy Cloner backups, but with Sync.com we only have to do the backups on our desktop computers. Everything that is not in our Sync folders (apps, utilities, etc.) is the same on our desktops and laptops, and all our personal Sync.com folders and files are synced from our laptops to our desktops.
