Our take

Is pCloud worth buying?

Based on pCloud's own lifetime pricing page, this is a three-plan one-time storage deal with a short 14-day guarantee. The prices stored here differ from the page, so check the current price. Encryption with zero-knowledge is extra.

What is pCloud?

pCloud is cloud storage with a lifetime payment option instead of a monthly fee. It offers a virtual drive, phone and desktop backup, link sharing, file version restore, and built-in Photos and Docs apps. pCloud lists three lifetime plans: 500 GB, 2 TB and 10 TB. Stored prices differ from pCloud's current page, so check before buying.

What pCloud says it does

  • Lifetime plans of 500 GB, 2 TB and 10 TB for a single payment (pCloud's figure)
  • 14-day money-back guarantee (pCloud's figure)
  • 256-bit AES encryption in transit and at rest, under Swiss privacy law (pCloud's figure)
  • File version restore and data recovery up to 30 days back (pCloud's figure)

Why pCloud

A lifetime plan replaces a monthly storage bill. The virtual drive keeps files in the cloud without filling your disk. Zero-knowledge encryption is a separate add-on whose price the page does not state, and the 14-day guarantee is short.

How does pCloud work?

  1. Buy a lifetime plan

    Choose 500 GB, 2 TB or 10 TB on pCloud's site.

  2. Install the apps

    Use the desktop, mobile or web app on all your devices.

  3. Move or back up files

    Upload files, back up phones and import from other services.

  4. Share and edit

    Share by link and open files with the built-in Docs editors.

Then it handles:

  • Cloud backup of phone and desktop files

  • Editing documents, spreadsheets and PDFs in the browser
