Features of pCloud#
Flexible Storage Options#
pCloud offers 10 GB of free storage space (which can be earned through tasks), suitable for light users. For users who need more storage, it offers paid plans ranging from 500 GB to 10 TB. One very attractive feature is that pCloud offers a lifetime subscription, meaning users only need to make a one-time higher payment to use the storage service permanently, which is quite a cost-effective choice for long-term users.
The pCloud lifetime storage plan often has price promotions during Black Friday and holidays, so it is recommended to purchase during these sales. You can register an account on the official website first, as they will send emails to your registered email during holiday promotions, making purchases cheaper at that time.
The price reference for the pCloud lifetime storage plan is around $279 for the 2TB lifetime storage plan during the 2024 promotional event.

Unlimited Upload and Download Speeds#
Regardless of whether you are a free or upgraded user, pCloud's web platform and applications will not limit your upload or download speeds.
WebDav Support#
pCloud supports WebDav (for paid users only).
As of February 11, 2022, WebDAV is only available for pCloud Premium; the free WebDAV plan does not allow WebDAV access. If you want to continue using WebDAV, you can upgrade your plan to Premium and enjoy it.
Encryption Features#
pCloud offers end-to-end encryption (pCloud Crypto) to ensure the privacy of users' files. Although the encryption feature requires an additional fee, it is undoubtedly an important safeguard for users who need to protect sensitive data. Encrypted files can only be decrypted through your device, and pCloud itself cannot access these files.
Powerful File Synchronization and Sharing Features#
pCloud supports file synchronization and selective synchronization, allowing users to choose which folders to sync to the cloud, saving bandwidth and storage space. For shared files, pCloud is also very flexible, allowing the generation of shareable links, setting different permissions (such as view, edit permissions, etc.), and supporting password and expiration time settings.
Multi-Platform Support#
pCloud supports Windows, Mac, Linux, as well as platforms like iOS and Android, allowing users to switch seamlessly between multiple devices. Additionally, pCloud supports offline file access, meaning you can view files stored in the cloud even without a network.
No File Size Limit#
pCloud has no file upload size limit, allowing users to upload and store files of any size (excluding network bandwidth). This is very attractive for professional users who need to handle large files.
Summary#
pCloud is a powerful and cost-effective cloud storage service. Its flexible storage options, strong encryption features, rich file sharing capabilities, and cross-platform support make it a popular choice. For those with high privacy requirements, needing large storage space, and willing to make a one-time payment for a lifetime subscription, pCloud is an excellent choice.
However, if you only need basic cloud storage and do not care about encryption features or large storage space, other similar cloud services like Google Drive or Dropbox may be more suitable for you, especially in terms of free storage and user interface, which may be more intuitive.
