pCloud vs Apple iCloud - Which Cloud Content Collaboration Software Platform Is Better in July 2025?

Pros and Cons of pCloud

• pCloud offers seamless access across all major platforms—Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and web—making it convenient for users to manage files from any device, at any time.

• One of the few cloud services offering lifetime storage options, pCloud appeals to users seeking long-term value without recurring subscription costs.

• With its optional Crypto add-on, users can encrypt files on their device before upload—ensuring zero-knowledge privacy that even pCloud cannot access.

• pCloud includes robust file versioning, allowing users to recover older file versions or undo unwanted changes—especially useful for collaborative projects or error recovery.

• Unlike some competitors, pCloud’s zero-knowledge encryption is a paid add-on (pCloud Crypto), which may be a drawback for privacy-focused users on a budget.

• pCloud does not integrate natively with document editing tools like Google Docs or Microsoft Office, making it less suited for collaborative content creation.
