App summary

pCloud is the secure place to store, preview and share files, anywhere you go. Start with up to 10 GB free storage.

You'll be able to backup photos and videos from your device, play your personal playlists, or preview work-related documents. You'll also be able to share large files with anyone and control access with password protection and expiration dates. From your vacation photos to videos and work documents, pCloud brings all your files together.

• Start with up to 10 GB free. Extend the space on your phone with up to 2 TB
• Choose where to store your files - in the United States or the European Union.
• Scan invoices, reports or receipts with an easy-to-use document scanner.
• Backup photos and videos from your phone with the option Automatic Upload.
• Access and preview files across all your devices.
• Share large files with added security (password protection, expiration date).
• Play your personal music collection with the built-in audio player.
• Get offline access to important files, when you're on the go.
• Encrypt private files with client-side encryption, using pCloud Encryption.

Use pCloud Encryption as the vault for your passwords, financial reports or other sensitive documents. The files you upload to the Crypto folder will be protected with client-side encryption. This means that they will be encrypted before they get uploaded to pCloud. With pCloud's zero-knowledge privacy policy we, as a service provider, will not know what kind of data you store in the Crypto folder.

pCloud is also available for iOS, desktop (Windows, macOS and Linux) and from my.pCloud.com.

Was good while it worked. But then my payment didn't go through when extending the subscription, throwing a cryptic error message. The support advised me to cancel the subscription and figure it out with my bank without even giving a clue as to what went wrong. And so cancel my subscription I did, and switched to a competitor. Hopefully they can handle the payment infrastructure better.

Amazing cloud storage provider. desktop and web app are top notch for files and encrypted storage. The only weak point is media - especially photos. Of course you can backup photos etc but the integrated gallery features are very limited. I really hope pcloud enriches the gallery/photo capabilities of the mobile app.

I removed a star because if you want to backup your pics from your phone, they won't put them in the albums you have them in. I have thousands of pics so it's impossible to find the one I want. Also, they don't give instructions on how to manipulate the files in their app. They fine you the option to "share", but not how. I have their app on several devices and all I can do is "read only" or manipulate the file on my laptop.
