About this app

pCloud is the secure place where you can 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 add extra security like password protection and expiration date. 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.
• Access and preview files across all your devices
• Backup photos and videos from your phone with the option Automatic Upload
• 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

I bought a lifetime 500gb plan, because this pay as you go shite from Google is for the birds. I am not sorry I did so, mostly, but I do wish that the upload, especially with a good wifi connection, were faster. It's pretty absurd waiting for 100mb pdf to upload, for an hour, whilst attempting to archive. ARCHIVING is challenging, especially for a non librarian, or maybe just for me, but the slow speeds makes it double challenging. Also, viewing pdf files once uploaded is almost a no-go.

Great for archiving, get/put your files from anywhere. Get everything on any device, even Linux. Great way to get old pictures scanned catalogued and uploaded. Just a tad slow on uploading. Downloading is faster, still a tad slow. Best to use this with a hi speed ISP, then not so noticeable. Have had for over two years now, and it had gotten a little faster, but always reliable. Have never seen downtime on Cloud! They also offer encrypted storage for sensitive documents, etc.

It works fine, except for false-positive error messages that download/upload operations failed when in fact they succeeded (Android 14). Also, it would be nice if there were some photo organization and sharing features, including for people to comment on photos. The memories feature is a good start! But it should be based on the photo's metadata (the date the photo is taken), not the file creation date.
