About this app

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.

Ratings and reviews

The app is just annoying. Constant notifications and popups before I have even looked around. I have spent more time closing suggestions than anything else so far. Also annoyed by the need to jump through hoops to get the 10gb free allowance. Even microsoft isn't this needy and that is saying something. I will recommend you to my friends if/when I am able to test it properly. It has uploaded photos/folders that I DID NOT GIVE PERMISSION

There's a bug with "free up device storage." Files that are already uploaded to automatic uploads aren't deleted from the internal storage. Doing it manually is quite tedious. Also it fails to detect, for me at least, all the images stored on the internal storage, such as those saved from WhatsApp. I'd prefer the option to manually select a file and then pcloud can back it up.

Good, but could be better. P Cloud is okay as a cloud storage service, but the app needs a fair bit of work to get close to competitors. I'd like to be able to easily select multiple files by dragging my finger across the screen. It would be great to see a pdf content title page instead of a blank file icon. I'd recommend addressing the ergonomics of the app so that the most common actions (delete etc.) are accessible easily. EDIT. I've knocked another star off as it's a PITA to download music.
