    pCloud is a cloud service has way better pricing than Dropbox

    Updated: Apr 01 2019
    Summary

    I am very satisfied with this product, and I have been using it for about 3 years now. Very fast and reliable. User friendly interface. Also the only cloud with a lifetime plan. You pay once and forget about monthly charges.Dropbox has a limitation (up to three devices). pCloud does not have, and is an amazing alternative in my opinion. The embedded music player is great, as you don't need to install additional plugins.
    The Automatic Upload feature makes a complete backup of the photos and the videos and this option is free of charge. Dropbox has a similar feature, which is Camera Uploads, but you must pay for it additionally. Also, after the backup is done, there is one more option- Free device space. When you select it, the app is scanning your gallery, and is deleting the photos and the videos which are already uploaded in the cloud. This is freeing up space on your device. (No other app is doing this, none that I know of).

    Positive

    Excellent service.I am a user for about 3 years now. They are the only one who offers 2 TB with one-time payment with their Lifetime plan.

    Really quick,safe, and easy to use. You can have your pCloud Drive on your computer, it's like a real Drive, without taking up space on your local device.
    The embedded music player, is a service which makes it easy to play your tunes directly from the cloud without the need to install anything else additionally. I definitely recommend it to everyone! Thank you pCloud.

    Negative

    I would love to see more integrations with third party software.

    Good Value for The Price But Has A Serious Flaw

    Date: Oct 15 2019
    Summary

    This pCloud product is a good tool to create a cloud based backup. The company boasts backup in the USA and Europe, so your data is unlikely to get lost in the event of a disaster. It offers reasonable piece of mind for users (clients) to have their data stored remotely in the event of a PC failure, theft, or some disaster causing loss of property. That was my goal and pCloud helped me achieve it.

    The client is easy to setup and is largely a set it and forget it deal. It caches upload data on the local disk until the data can be spooled to the cloud. This allows you to copy the contents you want uploaded and then allow the client to spool the upload in the background. The drawback to this is you are not assured of content upload without checking the client software to be sure the content is fully delivered.

    I use Cryptomator to encrypt the data that I don't want readily visible to anyone. The Crypto service in pCloud is not free while Crpytomator is, and that tool is cross platform.

    For the technically minded, the client uses block-level file copy. That means that as files are changed, only the changed portions of the file are sent over the wire, not the complete file. That really helps speed along uploads of altered data.

    There is major flaw only partially documented in the help section. If you have files that receive frequent updates, the client has trouble handling the updates. In the help section it mentions examples such as email stores (a .pst file for example). I found that it cannot handle encrypted volumes. I created a volume using VeraCrypt I was able to copy in test data. The volume appears but upon mounting it, the contents were lost and Windows didn't even recognize the format and thought it was unformatted. This lead to total loss of the data that was copied into volume. In several emails with their support department, they claim encrypted volumes are not supported even though this is not disclosed in the help section. I consider this a major flaw in their client and apparently the company is aware of this problem.

    Positive

    Data in the cloud does not take up space on the guest PC. The data is on a drive, P:, just like another drive. Easy setup of the client. Web access to the data. Excellent pricing compared to competitors. One time fee for lifetime purchase of cloud space or a yearly fee. Optional "Crypto Service" for a fee.

    Negative

    The client cannot handle encrypted volumes. It has documented trouble with files that get frequent updates such as email stores, databases. Network throughout is not always capable of the maximum my ISP delivers.
