===Cloud-based===
Just like Google Cloud, these services keep the a copy of each file on a cloud server, and synchronize that with user devices, as desired.
*Sync.com - Functions similarly to dropbox, but offers end-to-end encryption (and thus far superior privacy)

*[[Dropbox (cloud service)|Dropbox]] - Although not very private, this is at least not known to sell user data to commercial entities

*OwnCloud or NextCloud, hosted on a private or leased server - somewhat complex to set up, but feature rich and very simple to use.
*Box.com - good collaborative tools for working with others online
===Peer-to-peer synchronization===
These services do not utilize cloud storage, instead performing automated synchronization directly from one user device to another.
*Syncthing
*Resilio Sync
===Self-hosted cloud-type services===
These services operate from a server which the user sets up. This can be a leased commercial server (such as a VPS), or a spare computer kept at home. The setup process is more complex, and this requires a little ongoing maintenance. However, the user has a great deal of control, and typically a wide array of features.
*NextCloud - hosted on a private or leased server - somewhat complex to set up, but feature rich and very simple to use once installed.
*OwnCloud - Very similar to NextCloud, as the original software from which it was forked. The license model is less preferred by some.
===Other options===
*Amazon S3 - Somewhat complex to set up, best left to tech savvy users. There is no built-in file synchronization feature, but technical users can develop ways to to accomplish their goals for a relatively low cost.
