pCloud, Cloud Storage Provider Offering Lifetime Plan
App creates secure virtual drive which expands local storage space.
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on September 7, 2017 at 2:31 pmpCloud is a personal cloud space where files and folders can be stored.
It has a user-friendly interface that shows where everything is located and what it does. The software is available for almost any devices and platforms – iOS and Android devices, Mac, Windows, and Linux. By installing pCloud on the computer (through its desktop application pCloud Drive), the app creates a secure virtual drive which expands local storage space.
Every change made in a pCloud account can be seen immediately on all other devices – computer, phone or tablet. All devices are synchronized and have direct file access to any update. And pCloud offers a lifetime plan so everyone will have unlimited, secure storage space forever.
How is pCloud unique from other cloud storage services?
The main difference is that pCloud does not take space on the computer. pCloud Drive acts as a virtual HDD, which allows users to access and work with content in the cloud, without using any local space.
What is significant about the lifetime plan?
The introduction of the Lifetime plan is something that no other company in the cloud storage market has done. It gives users the chance to invest in a secure storage solution and eliminate the risk of losing their files to external drives, which have an average lifespan of around 5 years.
External HDDs are in imperfect solution as they cost hundreds of dollars and have a 20% chance of breaking down in the first year, not to mention the risk of being stolen. The cost of recovering information on an external HDD is high, and can often exceed $1,000.
Over a long period, the cost of other cloud storage services is prohibitive.
How much does pCloud lifetime storage cost?
With pCloud, there are no monthly or yearly payments. For one payment users get storage for a lifetime.
pCloud was launched just over 3 years ago and has grown into a community of more than 7 million users from around the world. Today, the service is among the top five players in the global cloud storage market. In 2015 the company received a round A series of investments amounting to $3 million for the expansion of the service in the international scene. pCloud has over 1.4 billion uploaded files and over 8PB of maintained information.
