Swiss cloud storage with lifetime plans and a free tier
Updated
pCloud is a Swiss-based cloud storage service for individuals, families and businesses that need file sync, backup and sharing. The vendor lets users choose whether files are stored in Europe or the USA, and positions its Swiss base as a privacy advantage.
Users install the desktop or mobile app, which mounts pCloud as a drive and syncs chosen folders. Sharing links go to others without an account. Plans are sold per person, with a Family plan and business plans listed separately, and lifetime plans paid once.
pCloud serves individuals and families who want a one-time-payment storage option, and small businesses. The vendor reports more than 22 million users in over 130 countries and 99.98 percent uptime.
pCloud lists lifetime plans as a one-time payment: Premium 500 GB at $159 (list $279), Premium Plus 2 TB at $379 (list $709), Ultra 10 TB at $1,099 (list $2,799), and a 3in1 Bundle of 3 TB at $579 (list $1,517) that includes pCloud Encryption and pCloud Pass Premium. The vendor offers a free sign-up with no credit card and a 14-day money-back guarantee, and sells Family and business plans on separate pages.
The vendor links to other pCloud products (Pass, Transfer and Save) and a developer API site. It does not list third-party application integrations on its homepage.
Backblaze and Wasabi are infrastructure-style storage services geared to backup and object storage, often billed by the terabyte. Dropbox and Box are collaboration-focused file platforms with larger app ecosystems. pCloud differs by selling lifetime plans and offering a Swiss base with a choice of data region.
