"A cloud storage - just what I was looking for!"

5/5

What do you like best about pCloud?

pCloud lets you sync, back up, and store files with ease. You get a virtual drive in Finder, and it behaves like another folder on your computer. You can also purchase military-grade encryption for the Crypto folder.

File syncing between your computer and your pCloud online account is SUPER fast - almost as fast as working locally on my Mac. It honestly doesn’t feel like cloud storage at all. It also has a great iPhone app, plus a built-in scanner.

I’ve now removed Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive from my Mac, backed everything up with pCloud, and doing that has also noticeably reduced my RAM usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pCloud?

While you can back up Dropbox, Google Drive, Facebook, and OneDrive, there isn’t really universal management, and you can’t move files from one of those storage services to another.

It’s also a little costly for those who pay monthly.

The mobile app scanner needs improvement. It doesn’t have many settings, and it doesn’t remember the settings you used last time.

Public links for sharing look pretty ugly, and there’s no link shortener. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering pCloud:

Great modern online storage that will offload your drive and make it into a virtual drive as fats as your built-in drive! Great and fast support! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With the limited 500 GB SSD on my iMac, I can move all my storage-heavy files to pCloud. It’s really easy to do directly from Finder. It offloads files from my computer, but it still feels like everything is right there on it. The web interface is great, too.

Sharing files is just as simple, and it also includes more advanced sharing options like password protection, link expiry, and link branding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
