pCloud vs. Progress ShareFile

I need to store and share a lot of files. These include videos and other documents. Before using pCloud, I constantly had to clean up and delete files from my hard drive to free up space for new files. Sharing files and also using files on my website is now easier with pCloud's public folder.

When we have a particularly large ad or job printing file that would "clog up" the email process, using ShareFile is very helpful. It's also useful for particular photographers we work with to upload a batch of photos all at once. Where it doesn't work as well for us is when trying to get clients to make use of a login to access folders. We find them reluctant to take on the learning curve. It works best for us when we just send them a clickable download link, and at most just require a tracking name and email address.

• pCloud helps us to store data very well and it is accessible from anywhere. It makes it easy for anyone to use it and secure the data. It is easy to upload data and access it while having a meeting with our client.
• pCloud easily stores files from another platform as well like Google Drive or Dropbox. It easily exchanges information like images, videos, and documents. This feature is amazing as it gives access to files from other storage.
• It had one feature known as pCloud Crypto which gives high-end security to the data when stored. It is highly secure and encrypted. It uses blockchain technology which requires a key to use called Crypto Pass to unlock your data. Really like it.

• Secure File Storage and Sharing.
• Workflows to get customer/affiliate responses to comments on documents.
• I used to have the signature feature initially, but it was removed from the original plan, so I could only use it if I chose to select the higher plan price.
• I love the upload notifications and reports on user activity.
• The document storage versions are fantastic. I am the only user with Delete privileges, and I love that I can make those selections.
• Integrations with Microsoft 365 - FANTASTIC - thank you.

• pCloud provides a lot of wonderful features, however we've seen a few stutters when using the service

• The web console is not the most user friendly site to use to get to, and send my files.
• We have had users that have not liked the change in workflow to get files from Progress ShareFile when they were used to just clicking on files on an email.
• That management of the tools are not the most user friendly. There have been some improvements but keeping up with certs and setting up new users can be more work than expected.

It is very easy to use, fast loading and the product team keeps adding updates. Like now I can listen to all my audiobooks from a playlist in pCloud. I am ask for files or send files easier than ever before. I also have access to all my files whereever I am.

ShareFile is so easy to use I was able to download all of my projects files and have them set up to sync before my supervisor could even come over to explain the process to me. It is a neatly organized and intuitive software that allows even the less tech-savvy to become power users.

The software has never been down when I needed to use it.

Easy to use, easy to integrate with Outlook. I only gave it a 9 because I have found that sometimes it does not play nicely with Outlook and can slow it down. But, when that happens (not frequent), I restart Outlook and all is well again

Citrix was generally responsive and helpful in solving technical issues. Like any cloud based SaaS product there is a danger that it may go down. This was a rare occurrence over my three years of using the product. The more common issue we encountered was clients forgetting their login which was easily managed through a forgot password functionality.

Good documentation for the API. With a little help from RS tech staff, any competent programmer should be able to integrate RightSignature with an existing system in a week or three. That help is easy to get as well

The reason why we love pCloud over similar tools is because of its neat and clean interface. We also love options for file encryption through pCloud Crypto, which is unavailable on Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive. Also, the upload speed on pCloud is fantastic and it is a lot better than Dropbox or Google Drive

ShareFile is easier and does what you need. I have moved a few organizations from SharePoint to ShareFile. Just easier. You can setup different areas for different departments, setup their permissions and it is easy enough for them to do what they want in their zones. The mobile app works great as well. So you can all the features you really use from SP, but just easier to setup and use.

I am a one person office. I have no idea how this software would scale to a larger office.
