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

Watch out if you have many files . I moved from other platforms because the lifetime option just to find that their software keeps my CPU at 30% forever, while others didn't. Support didn't even try help, they just said you have too many files, tough luck. And I don't think my backup is that different than many others. Now I'm locked in..... not cool. Also watch out for the android app disconnected silently and not backing up your photos. You have to visit the app every so often.

File upload and offline accessible folders are broken in the app. The app doesn't sync offline folders, won't let me remove offline access (keeps loading forever) and when I create a new folder in it using the app, it doesn't show up in the app (but they do show up in the browser). (Yes, I am on the latest version). The UI also feels a bit clunky for such an expensive product.

The pCloud app keeps throwing up an error: "Task failed - Task failed due to an error". Without any explanation as to why or a way to find out how to fix it (I've googled extensively without finding a fix). This error pops up every few minutes which is incredibly annoying, but it also drains my battery like crazy. I think because it keeps trying to upload the same files over and over. I have more than enough space on both my phone's storage and my pCloud's storage.
