The biggest inconvenience that I can say that I can say that pcloud has is that its synchronization in computers is usually too slow and to be able to take full advantage of all the functions of the software, broadband internet has to navigate at high speed since it can be frustrating the operation of this system if the internet browses slowly.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pCloud?

pCloud is undoubtedly very good, and the program certainly does not present any flaws. In my experience working with this software, I don't recall having any inconvenience or bad experience. However, the paid version I acquired three years ago does not have any function to update and does not update in any way. Despite my version not being new, it works very well, but the new packages my friends have acquired are much more updated and modern. I would like my package to be able to update.

What do you like best about pCloud?

pCloud is a fantastic storage program, both for multimedia files and for documents and works securely since everything is stored in our cloud. It allows me to work wherever and whenever we have access to the Internet. It is very easy to use, presents an accessible payment plan, allows us to share the documents with our coworkers to keep up to date in our work environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pCloud?

Some of its flaws are that the free plan brings little storage space, this is very easy to complete, nor does it allow me to enjoy its functions and explore the program, so I must cancel some of its plans and thus be able to fully enjoy this application . When you load the amount of files, the speed with which you work is limited and this makes it start from the beginning, since it stops in the middle of the file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering pCloud:

I recommend it for the ease and security that this program gives us, as well as for its storage through the web, it can be used wherever you are with internet access, it is not necessary to be physically in the workplace, to perform the job. It is a platform that provides us with stable management in our documents, allows us to send documents to our coworkers, as well as receive them, no matter where we are, with high security, and can be opened from any computer with internet access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is pCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of its greatest benefits is the security it offers us, as it is a cloud storage program, it is automatically saved, so we can send and receive files. It helps us to be up to date in our work tasks, access from any device nothing bad will happen since all files are safe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pCloud?

If we have been using cloud storage for some time, it is likely that we might encounter several limitations, such as the limited size of data that can upload to the cloud, or limited upload and download speeds, pc cloud gives us an advantage over other virtual clouds of information loading. Your Internet provider is the limitation of the upload and download speed of files attainable by you. When using pCloud Drive, sync speeds may be limited specifically for you, if you wish. The web platform and apps limit upload or download speeds in any way, regardless of the type of plan you have active. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about pCloud?

When it comes to data storage or backup systems in the cloud, you will find a wide variety of programs and services, all have a similar way of operation, create a folder and it contains the information that needs to be synchronized or backed up.

But we must take into account a series of security aspects, collaboration functions, which will definitely make the difference between each service.

In the case of pCloud, it is a modern, simple, and secure tool. It offers a free 10GB option, just by registering a new account and if you make a small effort to accomplish some additional tasks you can get an additional 10GB of free storage. Of course, these capabilities may be very little space for some people or companies, but the program also offers paid plans, storage from 500GB to 2TB.

Beyond the space available to store information, which, incidentally, is very important, pCloud offers a series of features that allow it to stand out from many of its competitors. Offers compatible options with; Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android, also has a website.

The communication between the pCloud platform and the users' devices is encrypted. It also has functions to share information with friends and colleagues, through links, where they are granted permission to edit or just view the information, among other security aspects.

Another security function of pCloud, is the ability to create a special folder where the information will be encrypted, this folder is independent of the original pCloud operations folder, therefore you can have encrypted and other unencrypted information, according to the convenience or criteria of the user.

Users have access to previous versions of their information for up to 180 days, with the free pCloud, only 30 days old. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pCloud?

You should keep in mind that not all information is encrypted, you must choose and place the information that will be encrypted in the corresponding folder.

Private end-to-end encryption must be activated separately and for an additional cost, to the contracted service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering pCloud:

pClod, has information encryption, has no restriction on file size, fast file synchronization, you can recover files or previous versions, and has a free trial version. It is up to you to evaluate it and decide if it is what you are looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is pCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

pCloud, offers excellent security and speed features, additionally has the function of transferring data from other cloud services, this function allows you to schedule backups of information from other cloud services automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In some cases for strange reasons the synchronization of information in computers can be very slow before starting its synchronization process, but I think this happens when my internet bandwidth is very slow and is something that does not worry because this software depends on the performance of the internet connection, and finally sometimes I think that the extension of Chrome never works well, because every time the use presents different faults or errors in its operation that can become a little stressful for me.
