Clear Sync.com Cache on Mac

You can clear the Sync.com cache without losing your files or your account. The cache sits in the app's support data, not in your Sync folder, so your synced files and your plan stay where they are. If the app offers its own clearing option, use that first.

Sync.com cache folders you can clear

Sync.com has no separate cache folder. Its folders hold settings and your own data, so there is nothing to clear safely by hand.

What the Sync.com cache holds and when clearing helps

Specific to Sync.com

The app's support data lives in a hidden Library folder, which you can open with Finder > Go > Go to Folder. That folder holds app data and logs, so it is not where your documents are kept. Your Sync folder in your home folder holds real local copies of your synced files, and clearing the cache should never touch it. Clearing is most useful when the app's data has grown large, which can reach 500 MB – 5 GB, or when the app behaves oddly and you want a fresh start.

What happens after you clear the Sync.com cache

Your files stay in your account and in your Sync folder, and your plan is tied to the account, so clearing the cache does not cancel it. The app creates new cache data as you use it. The first launch afterwards may take longer than usual. I can't confirm from the available details whether you will need to sign in again, so keep your login details handy.

Frequently asked questions

Yes.
Will I have to sign in again after clearing the cache?
The details I have don't confirm whether a sign-in is required, so check the app after clearing. Your files and plan remain with your account either way.
Does clearing the cache change what is in my Sync folder?
No. The Sync folder holds real local copies of your synced files, and clearing the app's data leaves them in place.
