Let us see what is pCloud and its features completely.

What is pCloud?

pCloud is one of the best cloud storage services where you can store, share, and work on your files from any device. 

It is similar to Google Drive and Dropbox but it is more secure than them. It is equipped with unbreakable military-grade security.

With pCloud Drive, you can upload files easily to the cloud storage.

Once it is uploaded, it will sync automatically across your connected devices. This feature is like having an external storage device on your computer.

pCloud Review – Best Features

Let me see the powerful features of pCloud drive here.

File Management

With pCloud, you can manage a huge number of folders and files easily. With its search feature, users can easily search for any folder or file within a few seconds.

Using the filter option, you will be able to filter the files by their format.

All deleted files will be stored in the trash folder for a few days. If you delete any files accidentally, then you can restore them easily.

File Sharing

With pCloud, you can share any folders or files with others easily. You can just set permissions for them to just look at or edit them.

You can even password-protect a file. This is one great feature that is not offered even by Google Drive.

You can also set an expiration date for the links you share with others.

Another great option in file sharing is that you can create an upload link in a folder. It lets others upload files. Even people who do not use pCloud can use this option.

File Versioning

With the file versioning feature, all versions of your files are stored in pCloud for a particular time. 

If you edited a file and did not like the new version and wish to restore the old one, then you can do it easily by clicking on the button “restore the previous version”. You just need to select the correct old version and it will be restored.

The extended file history feature lets you record every change made in your account for up to 360 days.

With pCloud, all the data will be synchronized on your devices (mobile or computer). The chances of losing your valuable data are almost zero even if you lose your device.

Backup & Synchronization 

Its block-level sync feature syncs all your files instantly.

If you are using the pCloud mobile app on your phone, you will be able to back up all the data (files, photos, and videos) automatically.

Security

pCloud uses a TLS/SSL encryption type of security.

All of your files are stored on more than 1 secured server which is located in different locations.

If you require more security for your files, then you can get their Crypto feature (paid addon) which offers military-grade protection.

To date, pCloud invited 2860 best hackers around the world to break their encryption. The prize amount is $100,000. Surprisingly no hacker was able to hack their system.

The Challenge is still on. If you are a hacker and wish to hack their system, you can participate by clicking on this link.

Accessibility

pCloud provides service on all devices like Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS which is one of the reasons that it is the best cloud storage provider.

With pCloud’s drive feature, you will be able to get connected to your computer as external storage and it will get counted against your computer’s local storage. This feature is very handy for Mac users.

Integrations

You can integrate your pCloud account with other services like Onedrive, Google Drive, etc.
