Sync says files and file names are encrypted on your device with 256-bit AES. File size, type, creation time and the creator of a shared file are not encrypted. On paid plans, email password reset is on by default and keeps a copy of your account key that Sync's automated systems can use; turning it off deletes the copy. Previews of Office and other formats, media streaming, editing in Microsoft's editor, faster web downloads over 100 MB and links without Enhanced privacy are processed outside end-to-end encryption. The web panel decrypts files in your browser with code that Sync serves on every visit.

Tresorit says files, file names and subfolder names are encrypted on your device, each with its own key. The names of top-level folders, their size and member list, and file size, type and creation time are not end-to-end encrypted. Recipients' public keys are vouched for by Tresorit's own certificate authority. Web Access decrypts files in your browser with code that Tresorit serves on every visit.
