pCloud Reviews & Ratings
Spotsaas Editor’s POV
pCloud has been my go-to storage solution for over a year now. I love that it works flawlessly across my phone, tablet, and laptop, and the fact that I can pay once for lifetime storage is a huge win. It’s super easy to upload and organize my files, and the built-in media player makes streaming videos or music really smooth. I did end up paying extra for the ...Read more
pCloud pros and cons
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.

Worse than other backup services - no fixes/improvements in years!
I have tried over 15 cloud backup and storage services and pCloud is far the worst. It is little more than a 'beta' version program, full of flaws and bugs, and with far less essential or useful functions than other programs.pCloud's focus and obsession is on the marketing side, with their never-ending promotions and offers, rather than developing their app. In three years of using it, I have hardly seen any enhancements to it. Yes, three years of them continuing to present paying customers ...

Support is obnoxious and unable to reflect on strange behaviour in their windows app. Accuse a IT professional of 40 years experience of 'not knowing enough about network drives'. The application creates a drive under a letter P:. It should detect an already mapped network drive but it does not in my case. The fact it applies such a setting without either asking or informing the user is a big red flag. It is also nowhere in the support documentation on the website. Another red flag. The ...

This "service" is completely worthless
This "service" is completely worthless. There was a brief power outage at my home and my pcloud file directory was completely scrambled. I asked for help from customer support and even after several exchanges they offered no help, just a bunch of irrelevant questions. Recently, I had problems registering a new device, and the customer service answers were wrong and contradictory. They refuse to refund my money. I recommend anyone to stay away from Pcloud. The app appears to be very buggy, ...

The helpdesk was clear on instructions how to move my account/data between regions. Everything was done quickly.

Valida alternativa europea a Dropbox
Servizio Cloud gestito da azienda europea con possibilità di acquistare il servizio con un costo unico per sempre (senza spese mensili). Funziona molto bene, è rapido e ha anche tutte le funzioni che mi piacevano di Dropbox che ho ormai dismesso. Super consigliato!

I have been using PCloud for nearly a year now. I like it very much. I bought lifetime plan on Black Friday last year. Everything is perfect for me with the PCloud service.

Avoid this app
Avoid this app, unless you want to continually upload your files. Moving files within the drive on Windows repeatedly results in having to upload the files again, even though they should already be on the servers! Annoying when im trying to share a folder to a customer and have to wait for upload again!Asked for a pro-rata refund of the rest of my year subscription, to be told refunds can only be done in first 10 days. Terrible service, terrible customer service, avoid!

I love pCloud
I love pCloud. I’m a lifetime subscriber for 3 years now. PCloud replies to emails always within 24 hours. They answer your questions and requests. Also, they try their best to listen to your complaints. There is this one time that my file is being duplicated. They resolved the issue on their side. They don’t blame me as far as I remember, but instead apologized. I’ve read to many hate reviews. But so far in my experience, I completely transitioned from Dropbox to pCloud. It is now my main ...

Worst service ever
Worst service ever. We are several people using pCloud and we face several severe issues a day: our files disappear, our updates get deleted, the folder crashes all together. Whenever we reach out to support, they send us a standardised message. Sometimes they fix the error, but they can't make the system actually run well, so the service is hell. This has been going for several months now, and it is getting worse week by week. We are already looking for an alternative service. I strongly ...
