There are no unlimited plans with pCloud, but there are unlimited upload and download speeds with no bandwidth throttling, and some great syncing and sharing options. PCloud provides user-friendly access to your data in several ways: there’s a desktop app, a virtual pCloud Drive (more on this later), and iOS and Android mobile apps. Another perk is that you can connect as many devices as you want. Let’s take a close look at its features, performance, ease of use, and customer support to see if it’s the right cloud storage solution for you.Ĭontinuous backups, backup from external drive, backup status reports, bandwidth throttling, no offline backup and restore options PCloud has a lot to offer but it also has its drawbacks. Windows 7 and later, Mac, Linux, iOS and AndroidĢ56-bit AES, optional private encryption keysĪlthough pCloud has an extensive list of extras, like built-in audio and video players, the option to save your favorite internet content directly to your account with pCloud Save, and filters to quickly search for content by file type, I’m going to focus on the features that make pCloud stand out for me. You can store and sync files from your computer via the web app and upload photos and videos with the mobile app, but the virtual pCloud Drive is what really impressed me. pCloud Drive’s drag-and-drop function makes moving files from your desktop to the virtual drive a seamless process The pCloud Drive links virtual storage directly to your computer so you can move files off your desktop to free up disk space. The drive acts just like any other folder on your computer, so you can simply drag and drop to get organized. You can copy data from external hard drives and upload folders and files of any size and type to your virtual pCloud Drive, but if you want to upload folders through the web, you’ll need to use Chrome – otherwise, you’ll only be able to transfer individual files. ![]() While there are no file type restrictions, pCloud says you may have syncing issues with the following file types. git directories, hidden files, browser data, and email client data. Real-Time Backupsīackup is different from storage because pCloud backup is designed to copy your computer’s existing files to protect you against loss or damage. ![]() If you move files off your computer, or delete them from your computer, they will no longer be backed up. And if you delete files from your backup, they’ll also be deleted from your computer. You can’t schedule backups with pCloud, which is something most competitors offer, but pCloud runs continuous backups, so changes you make to files will update in real-time. ![]() With pCloud’s continuous backups, your files will be saved in real time. One downside is that you can only back up data at the folder level. Restoring Data Is Simple with Drag and Drop But with direct integration, those folders can include digital content from Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Facebook, and Instagram. ![]() PCloud lets you restore your data in several ways. The quickest and easiest way is to drag folders or files out of your virtual pCloud Drive and drop them back onto your computer. You can also download folders or files from the web app to your computer, and download and export individual files (but not folders) from the mobile app. You can download folders or files quickly with pCloud’s web appīut what’s most interesting about pCloud restores is its Revisions and Rewind features. Revisions let you revert to a particular version of a file based on its modification date and time. And you can use Rewind to travel back in time: restore not only files and folders, but even your entire pCloud account from a specific point in the past.
