(Original )Information
What do you like best about pCloud?

pCloud is the best software that exists when it comes to saving or storing files of different kinds in the cloud, easily and securely. One of its virtues is that the program does not depend completely on the Internet to be enjoyed. The best thing about this tool is that it is very easy to use and allows storing large amounts of information efficiently. Additionally, pCloud has a very efficient security system to prevent any virus attack. Its user platform is quite simple and complete, allowing users to guarantee their work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pCloud?

pCloud is undoubtedly very good, and the program certainly does not present any flaws. In my experience working with this software, I don't recall having any inconvenience or bad experience. However, the paid version I acquired three years ago does not have any function to update and does not update in any way. Despite my version not being new, it works very well, but the new packages my friends have acquired are much more updated and modern. I would like my package to be able to update.

Recommendations to others considering pCloud:

I highly recommend pCloud for its functionality and security guarantee when it comes to storing cloud files, it is very easy to use, its platform is very extensive and innovative, it is of great quality and works correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is pCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use pCloud as my main tool to store all kinds of files and information from my company to keep it secure and not overload my computer with too many files and information since sometimes they can get lost or cause some disorder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

pCloud Overview

What is pCloud?

pCloud is Swiss cloud storage that provides access to all your digital content including images, video, audio, documents, and more- anytime, anywhere, on any device. Our security approach focuses on making sure your data is safe and you're as much in control as possible. When you sign up for pCloud, you choose the data region, where your files and personal data are stored - either in the United States (Dallas, Texas) or the European Union (Luxembourg). Test pCloud with a free account with up to 10GB storage space! Keep all of your important files safe and centralized in one place. You can share with team members, clients, etc. across the globe and give them controlled access and permissions to your digital library. It has a user-friendly interface that clearly shows where everything is located and what it does. The software is available for multiple platforms – iOS and Android devices, Mac, Windows, and Linux. By installing pCloud on your computer (through its desktop application pCloud Drive), the app creates a secure virtual drive that expands your local storage space. Every change you make in your pCloud can be seen immediately on your computer, phone, or tablet. All your devices are instantly synchronized and you have direct file access to any update you make. pCloud's latest feature Branded links allows you to customize download links with your brand's style and logo. pCloud Crypto is the highest level of security for your files. You could save your sensitive information, and your private documents in the cloud, and have them on any device. Nobody has access to these files, including the administrators of pCloud. With client-side encryption, your files are encrypted locally on your computer, and only the encrypted information is uploaded to the cloud. The files never leave your device without the encryption Since 2013, more than 16,000,000+ users worldwide trusted us. We believe in creating reliable and safe cloud storage for both individuals and businesses.

What do you like best about pCloud?

I love how easy it is to access from all my devices, whether I'm at home or on the go. It's super easy to upload (and encrypt) my files and photos/videos. And trivially easy to share with friends and family who aren't super techy, so it's really convenient that they just need to click a link to watch whatever they're looking for.

Also, note that they offer generous amounts of cloud storage for a decent price. They offer lifetime deals a few times a year - stock up when they do! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pCloud?

It doesn't allow me to back up my phones/tablets to it. That's more a factor of Apple not allowing it, of course, but it's frustrating to have all this space available and not be able to backup my phone to it regularly. I can back up/sync photos, but not contacts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is pCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

I mainly use it for storing everything I need to access on the go, instead of having it all live on my laptop or my phone. Upload it to pCloud, and I know I'll be able to retrieve it with no problems when I'm away from my regular-use devices, in or out of town. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about pCloud?

Now my digital life and my work are all in the cloud, I needed space, a lot of space and I think pCloud was the right choice. Lots of space, an appropriate price and a service that works. It's easy to use and I implemented it in no time on my mobile phone, computer and tablet. I use it every day because it is the container for all my files Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pCloud?

It has a small flaw which is a bit of a nuisance for me. It doesn't start automatically when I start it on my PC. Every day I turn it on and then I have to log in to be able to start working. Once logged in on Windows I would like to have my pCloud directly without logging in with my Google account every day. In the end, access to my PC is password protected and once I log in, Gmail and Drive work without having to log in every day. Why does pCloud ask me every day to log in with my Google account? I understand security but this is ridiculous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is pCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

I needed a lot of space and here I found it. For now I have 2Tb but I'm considering moving to 10. The photos of a lifetime, the work files are all here and consequently in an instant on PC, smartphone, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about pCloud?

They seem to have better security and payment plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pCloud?

1) Not the best UI. Often very un-intuitive design.

2) Customer support via email only. Sometimes if we need urgent help, or cannot figure their UI out, it can lead to useless mails back n forth from customer support being totally unhelpful and useless

3) Payment glitches leads to ALL CONTENT being moved to TRASH. retrieving the content from TRASH is a terribly difficult process. Simply upgrading the plan DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. This is why I plan to migrate out from their platform and NOT Recommend them at all. BEcause we COULD LOSE ALL OUR STORED FILES on this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

3) Affordable and value for money

4) Software is updated regularly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pCloud?

1) Have to keep logging in all the time.

2) Crashes or hangs often - probably best for low storage users, not heavy use.

3) Buggy and the only solution seems to be to reinstall. Can be frustrating

4) Not sure if I will ever be able to backup all my materials Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is pCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mainly backup. Less for purposes of sharing unless filesizes are very big. Dropbox and Google drive are better for that purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about pCloud?

I love that I can extend my storage for an affordable life-time payment that works just like a physical hard drive on my computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pCloud?

I honestly have not run into anything I don't like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is pCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

The solutions that pClound have solved for me are many, but the main one is having additional storage space that all parts of our team can access, no matter the location. Additionally pCloud acts just like a physical hard drive on my computer which saves countless hours per month uploading and downloading files, I work right off of the pCloud server.

What do you like best about pCloud?

I like that they have a free account you can get to have a certain amount for free. Their upgrades look decent price and it seems like it works pretty well. As good as others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pCloud?

Free could be bigger I guess. And I would like to get a large amount of storage for an inexpensive price with a reputable storage platform. They are not bad ,but at the moment I am having to wait because of price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is pCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Free storage for my photos and other files. I may upgrade at some point for more storage. It has helped my productivity and helped me feel that my files are secure instead of worrying about losing them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about pCloud?

pCloud is a great way to share files with anyone – even transferring your own files from one device to another. I started with pCloud's free plan, which is very generous for everyday file sharing, but there are benefits on a paid plan (including the ability to create custom-branded download pages). There's a web version plus a mobile app, so you can access files no matter which device you're on. And you can share files with anyone ... they don't need a pCloud account to view or download. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pCloud?

I don't really have any complaints - it's easy to use and meets my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is pCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've used it to send files to clients, share review copies of my book with beta readers, or transfer photos from my phone to my computer in a flash. It's the best file sharing tool I've ever used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about pCloud?

First, unlike Dropbox, I don't have 87 million conflicting files and, as such, duplicates. I love that I can run it on my phone and PC and that it will play the videos very well without buffering issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pCloud?

Needs a duplicate finder (not for conflicting files, but when transferring files between devices that aren't linked to pCloud).

Its UX can be confusing, and I still can't figure out the difference between pCloud and pCloud Sync.

That's about it, it's pretty great other than that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is pCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

I needed a large cloud storage solution for both personal and professional work. It allows me to collect video and pics from my phones to capture on automatic and then delete from the device so that I have only one copy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
