Thought all cloud storage offerings were the same? Think again. The pCloud offers are different because they are available for life against a one-time purchase.
In the small world of online storage, pCloud is an exception. Certainly, the Swiss company makes hundreds of gigabytes of online storage available to its customers. But it does not ask to subscribe to a subscription in return.
pCloud instead favors a single payment, which guarantees the user access to a storage space available “for life”, or rather 99 years to be precise. On the occasion of the national holiday, the Swiss company is allowing its French customers to make great savings on these lifetime storage offers.
Storage accessible from anywhere
Having plenty of cloud storage is good. It is still necessary that the deposited files be accessible quickly and simply. It is for this reason that pCloud has developed applications available on almost all connected devices that have a screen. It is naturally available on Windows, Linux and macOS, on Android and iOS, but also from a web browser.
Such compatibility thus makes it easy to exchange large files between its different devices. pCloud does not impose a maximum file size or download or upload speed. Finally, the only constraint is the quality of your own internet connection.
Automatic file synchronization
Drag and drop in the pCloud application is not the only way to send your files to your storage space. The service application also allows you to automatically synchronize the local folders of your choice. It can be the one that consolidates all your working documents.
On mobile, all photos and videos can be synchronized automatically. pCloud had the good idea to integrate a viewer into its application, allowing you to view photos, videos and audio tracks without having to download them to your device.
Finally, pCloud allows you to easily share your files. It is possible to invite other people to shared folders (in reader or editor mode) or to generate sharing and deposit links for others.
Data security at the heart of the service
If your data is going to stay on a server for 99 years, it is important to ensure the security of the pCloud infrastructures. First of all, the Swiss company lets its users determine in which regions its data will be hosted, between Europe and the United States. We recommend the first choice, because the EU imposes demanding data protection regulations, such as the GDPR.
pCloud also ensures high data protection. Especially when they pass from your devices to the pCloud servers. The service uses TLS/SSL encryption during transfer, when the data is most vulnerable.
Finally, pCloud ensures that your data is hosted simultaneously on at least three different servers. If an incident or failure disrupts the activity of one of them, you are sure not to lose your saved files.
