Disappointing experience for us with product and support after years without problems

Rating: 1 out of 10

October 21, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use pCloud as a cloud storage. We also use the synchronization feature for two-way synchronization between cloud and local machine, and shared folders.

Pros

pCloud Drive works well

Cons

In my experience, Synchronization on macOS is flawed
In my experience, the support is unresponsive

Likelihood to Recommend

Initially, we were happy with pCloud. The pricing is attractive - especially, the life-time subscriptions. For about two years, we did not experience any issues.

Recently, the synchronization stopped working. After repeatedly setting up everything from scratch, pCloud started to synchronize, but then slowed down to a upload/download speed of a few KB. And, the speed would not pick up again leaving many files unsynchronized. Now, strangely, the service did not react to our inquiries. So, we have to switch to another provider.

Powerful Cloud Storage

Rating: 6 out of 10

March 8, 2024

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Simply one of the best cloud storage options available on the web. I've been using pCloud since 2014, so far it works well and helps me to sync all important files and documents across devices. One of the highlights of pCloud is its virtual drive. It doesn't take up space on our PC while syncing files. Yes, the virtual drive is the key here,

Pros

sync
easy to use
file sharing
virtaul drive

Cons

mobile app
passkey support
fast download

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are looking for a powerful online cloud storage service or for Dropbox, OneDrive or Google Drive alternatives, you can try pCloud without hesitation. One of the highlights of pCloud is it is the only popular cloud storage service provider that comes with lifetime storage options like 500GB, 2TB, and 10TB. These lifetime plans are available only for personal or family users, not for Businesses.

pCloud's Virtual Drive makes it the ideal cloud storage.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used pCloud's public folder to share files with clients. It's great that pCloud can do more than just share a link, but can set up a landing page where clients can view these links. These pages can be customized with our logo. It looks much more professional than just a simple link. Using pCloud's virtual drive saves hard drive space on my laptop so I can have more files easily accessible.

Pros

Public link page sharing.
Virtual Drive.
Large capacity.

Cons

Upload/Download speeds vary.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

March 15, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use pCloud to manage all of our business documents, both internal and external. Internally, we use it for approvals and collaboration. For external documents, we use it as a cloud storage solution/document management for our externally facing websites. In addition, pCloud allows us to ensure that all compliance rules are followed regarding privacy.

Pros

The UI is clean and easy to use.
Security is excellent.
The platform is reasonably priced.

Cons

Support is seriously lacking.
The platform can run slowly at times.
The platform lacks support for robust workflows.

Likelihood to Recommend

pCloud is an excellent solution for an organization looking for more of a straight warehouse-type application. The UI is well built for this type of application and it is clearly where it excels. However, when it comes to building workflows or other advanced logic, there are other platforms out there that might be better suited.

Likelihood to Recommend

Our normal team meeting was taking place, and we were transferring our data to pCloud. pCloud had supplied us with a platform from which we could download our critical data whenever we needed it. We also need to provide our project status report, and for this, we upload our PowerPoint presentation to the cloud, which has proven to be useful anytime we have needed it. It may be used in a variety of ways, including storing, sharing, and backing up essential files in a folder on your computer.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use pCloud to share documents with my clients, and this can also be used to host videos and images that can be linked to any website. With the native apps it is easy to sync my files to multiple devices without any hassle. Upload and download speeds are really good. You can share password-protected links if you need security.

Pros

Sync files with different devices
Password-protected files
Easy to embed on websites

Cons

Need more shared link traffic

Likelihood to Recommend

I tried many solutions to use images on my no-code website, which can give me direct links to the image, and pCloud gives you the links to use them anywhere on the web. I'm thrilled I'm using pCloud for all my storage needs. I use multiple devices, so file sync is essential for getting my work done.
