Cloud Hosting

pCloud is one of the most popular cloud storage services on the market. Its a reputable, secure, speedy and well-designed service, so its not surprising that its a magnet for cloud storage newbies. If youre one of them and want to give pCloud a whirl, this guide will show you how to use pCloud and get it up and running.

Lucky for you, pCloud is exceedingly simple to use, so youll have an easy enough time with getting it set up. It has quite a few advanced features which you can read about in our pCloud review but theyre intuitively integrated into pClouds applications. Even better, you can try it with a free account. Read on to learn more about how to set up pCloud.

Like all other cloud services, pCloud lets you upload files to the cloud for remote access. It works by taking your files, encrypting them and sending them to remote cloud servers.

pClouds user interface is very intuitive and easy to use. Everything you need is clearly labeled and easily found in the interface.

You can access pCloud via its website. Once you have an account, you can access your files via the desktop app or the web interface.

pCloud is one of the better-designed cloud services out there, in terms of both appearance and ease of use. The user experience should be smooth for anyone, as uploading files is as simple as dragging and dropping them to your pCloud drive or the website.

Coming up, well be covering how to set up pCloud on your computer and go over its various features. Well go over topics like uploading files and sharing them, setting up file syncing, setting up a backup and using pClouds Transfer feature.

The main purpose of pCloud, like any other cloud storage, is to store your files securely so that you can access them remotely and share them with others. However, pCloud has a few more tricks up its sleeve that make it stand out from the crowd.

Take the way pCloud handles file syncing. It attaches a virtual drive to your computers storage, which looks just like the other drives like Local Disk (C:). This virtual drive or network drive uses your pCloud storage to store files, essentially expanding your hard drives storage capacity. The downside is that you need to be online at all times to access this virtual drive, but, really, when are you not online?

pCloud also features the most capable media player weve seen in a cloud storage service. It allows you to create playlists and can automatically sort by artist, album or folder. Its video player is also pretty advanced, giving you the ability to adjust the playback speed and even download a converted version of the video file in a different file format.

Now lets talk security. This is one of pClouds strengths, yet its probably the area where pCloud could stand to improve the most. It offers zero-knowledge encryption, which is a security measure that prevents anyone but you from accessing your files (not even pCloud can see their contents).

Unfortunately, you have to pay extra for this kind of encryption, which takes the form of an add-on called pCloud Crypto. The service creates a Crypto folder where all files are covered by zero-knowledge protection. Thankfully, its privacy policy is clean, and it allows you to store files on European pCloud servers. This ensures youre covered by strong privacy laws, like the GDPR.
