Syncing will eventually be a thing of the past for most people, but I imagine what will make syncing obsolete is not cloud storage alone, but rather cloud storage in combination with the emergence of a new class of portable devices that is compact and efficient enough to carry around for personal communications, powerful enough to get real work done quickly, and flexible enough to support large displays and VR for media consumption and gaming: a single device that literally does it all. Cloud storage will still be important in this new single-device computing model, but only as a means for archival and backup. Sync won't come into play anymore because you only have the cloud and a single device to manage, and changes will tend to only propagate in a single direction from the device to the cloud.
