"Buyer beware! Cheap price = no support when you files suddenly vanish!"

0/5

What do you like best about pCloud?

The price is competitive, but not outstandingly cheap. The apps and web interface however are shocking, buggy, and have no consideration for being user friendly. The support is to all intents and purposes, useless. So you're buying a price, and you're on your own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pCloud?

- Unreliable service. I have provided all evidence to their team that 800GB of data was lost by their platform without by doing or consent.

- Buggy web user interface, very "barebone" desktop sync app, and the linux cli needs to be restarted every few weeks for clogging the OS with a dump file growing out of control.

- No support: don't expect any empathy or willingness to help you if you experience issues - their support will repeatedly blame you or say that they have not received your response, turn around in circles and restart the conversation with new staff, or "escalate" to never be responded again. I have an email trail going back 3 full months and is yet to be resolved! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering pCloud:

Consider not using pCloud just because they are a few dollars cheaper. If you need support just once (for instance if files disappear from your account!), your wasted time will be fare more expensive than the few dollars saved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is pCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Considering other options available like MEGA and many others, the ONLY problem solved here is saving a few dollars. They don't offer any competitive advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Just what I was looking for!"

5/5

What do you like best about pCloud?

The pCloud lets you synch, backup, store files with en ease. You get your virtual drive in the Finder and it acts like another folder on your computer. You can purchase military-grade encryption for the Crypto folder. The file synch between you your computer and pCloud online account is SUPER fast! Almost as fast as my Mac! It doesn't feel like cloud storage at all! Has a great iPhone app and a built-in scanner!

I now removed Dropbox, Google drives, OneDrive from my Mac, backed them up with pCloud, and doing so also made my RAM usage much less now! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pCloud?

While you can back up Dropbox, Google Drive, Facebook, OneDrice you don't have universal management and you can't move files from one of those storages to another.

A little costly for those who pay monthly.

The mobile app scanner needs ipmpoivement. It doesn't have settings and does not remember the settings used.

Public links to share look pretty ugly and there is no link shortener... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering pCloud:

Great modern online storage that will offload your drive and make it into a virtual drive as fats as your built-in drive! Great and fast support! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is pCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

With my limited 500 GB SSD drive on my iMac, I can move all the storage-like files to the pCloud. It is super easy to do right in your Finder. It offloads your files from your computer but it feels like your files are still on it! Great web interface too!

Super easy to share the files while it has very advanced sharing features like password protection, link expiry, and links branding! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pCloud?

pCLoud Drive on Microsoft Windows has a problem when trying to sync large files; it may damage the file and some other files while syncing it; this happened to me; in addition, pcloud WebDAV cannot handle large files while using it as a backup solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had some trouble syncing my computer files with my pcloud files, so simply just upload new files every few months. It's my fault though - I shoud take the time to figure out how to sync properly, which would save me time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"! Is the best"

4/5

What do you like best about pCloud?

The way that it refreshes when you drop something in to the pCloud and in a flash everybody with access can perceive what you're seeing. It's an extraordinary method to remain coordinated on any PC from anyplace. It's not difficult to sort out as your group has full control of how you need to set up your pCloud framework; for instance, we use envelopes reliant upon customers, organization explicit records, required resources, and pictures. Recordings are effectively transferred. What's more, you can without much of a stretch offer a connection to the pCloud with other people who might not approach yet you need them to see a specific envelope of resources or recordings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pCloud?

The Chrome expansion never appears to turn out accurately for me. Likewise, it didn't actually happen precisely like, on the main arrangement on my telephone, it promptly fired support up photographs that I could never have upheld up on the grounds that they weren't pertinent to the capacity. I can't help thinking that the individual should not have anything like that arranged right away. I had the option to enter the settings just as change them, however it appears as though I'm blowing up Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering pCloud:

pCloud is great for the vast majority. It does well overall, as record extra room, being multiplatform and furthermore a decent client experience with getting sorted out organizers and moving information. Where it would absolutely be in the ideal work areas for dealing with papers like different records and different arrangements. The capacity to oversee Google records, accounting pages and different things would surely be a critical benefit. The capacity to utilize a cycle to store document alternate ways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is pCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was giving different projects a shot a few gadgets that I don't approach. Indeed, I had as of now attempted a few arrangements, yet with pCloud I fostered another record and in almost no time I was additionally ready to run a test and download enrollment reports with valuable troubleshoot subtleties for the vital apparatus. It is superb that they have numerous gadgets accessible for establishment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"pCloud is the All-Around Best Cloud File Sharing/Backup Service!"

5/5

What do you like best about pCloud?

I share folders with clients. With other services (Dropbox is one example), the client needs to have a Dropbox account AND enough free space on their account to hold the folder I'm sharing with them. With pCloud, they don't need an account and the amount of space I have (4 TBs) is the only thing affected by any folder I share with them.

Also, it's usable across my Windows, Android, and iOS devices. I can see all my saved files no matter what device I'm using. For example, recently I was at a doctor's appointment and the doc needed to see the results of a study that was done a year ago. I happened to keep the results on my pCloud and was able to pull it up on my phone and the doc read it right there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pCloud?

There's very little I'd change about the system. One thing I'd like to see is a list of everything that needs to be synced when it's uploading and downloading. Now it shows you the number of files and the total size of what needs to be synced (at least when on a PC), but you don't which files. If you knew which files and you were waiting to shut down, but you definitely needed something synced, you have to wait until 100% is synced to shut down.

Another thing although it's not a dislike as much as "would be nice". I have several different email addresses that I use with different people that I share files with. There is no way to change the email account that's notifying the other person of the share so I have to send the notification from an email account that might not be recognized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is pCloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

File sharing for me among my many devices with updates being available across platforms.

File sharing with multiple 3rd parties limited to just the parts I want shared.

Seamless updating of files as I make changes.

Backups of my PC in the background without affecting my work.

Hard to find 4TB of storage anywhere for a reasonable price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5

What do you like best about pCloud?

The sync folder is my favorite part as it automatically updates only the files changed and I can access it from any of my devices.It was so much more affordable than dropbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pCloud?

Can't think of anything. I really liked that I can give links to others to add to a shared folder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"pcloud is nice."

4/5

What do you like best about pCloud?

I loved that this gave me free 5GB(or 10GB)! It was nice. The premium system is well priced. I use this software to see all those videos and CDs to do homework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pCloud?

Well, it was great, but the price was too high. If you are not living in Europe or North America, the uploading speed would be slow. I hope it makes more servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"buyer beware: terrible upload speeds and terrible customer service"

0/5

What do you like best about pCloud?

(edit: refund was eventually issued after much ado) I wasn't able to get files upload at speeds faster than 100MB per HOUR so there is nothing I liked about this app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pCloud?

It was terrible and the company refused to refund even though I requested it only 28 days after purchase. I have never had any problems uploading to other apps so I asked for a refund, 3 weeks after my purchase, and it was refused. Now my account is deleted and they have my money. Customer service was rude and dismissive and did not care at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
