Creates virtual drive on your computer which you can use as a normal drive in your file manager.
pCloud is one of the few services that just shows up as a drive on my computer, which is exactly what I want. I don't want a backup program that just backs up any and everything on my hard drive.
Why I Don't Like Whole Hard Drive Backup Services
First of all, I have have multiple hard drives, my main one being 8 TB. I calculated that it would take, "3 years, 5 months and 25 days" to upload my entire 8 TB drive with my current available upload speed at 0.8 Mbps (which is the fastest available in my area). I'm sure my files wouldn't stay static the whole time it's being uploaded either.
Why I Don't Like Folder Sync Services
Syncing a folder is nice, as long as it's a smaller folder, which is why Dropbox Free works perfect for me (I've used referrals to get up my storage up to 20 GB). Their 'Plus' plan offers 2 TB of syncing space, which is way more that I'd like to be constantly syncing anyway. That would be 2 TB of files taking up space on my hard drive. The initial sync would take quite some time also. Plus pCloud does offer the ability to sync any folder on your hard drive (or multiple, different folders) if you do want syncing folder(s).
As a Drive
With pCloud all my files are in my pCloud drive (which happens to be drive P:\ in 'My Computer', 'Computer' or 'This PC' or whatever Windows decides to call it in the future). This way I can decide which files to put in the drive and it won't be taking up space on my hard drive. They also offer Lifetime plans for a fair price (when it's on sale). It's really nice to not have to pay any monthly or yearly fees. Plus the lifetime plans can stack, which I have done twice so far, which brought my storage to 4 TB.
PCloud is one of the best cloud drive and file sync around. Its greatest feature is that it creates a new drive in your system and you can MOVE files there. This will free up space in your hard disk allowing at same time to always access the files as they are, always available for direct use. It is like to have a new remote disk. You can do almost the same with other clouds forcing the files to stay online only, but you need to make them available offline again to use them. Much easier with pCloud. Sharing files is really easy, shared photos/videos are shown to the destinatary directly from browser, the destinatary doesn't need to download them to see the content. You can track down who downloads your files and how many times they were downloaded. You can share folders/files for team use. If they in future will integrate with an office document solution like, dunno, Polaris Office or SoftMaker FreeOffice or even better the opensource Open365, they will have the ultimate cloud drive ever becoming a great competitor of Office365/OneDrive or Google Documents/Google Drive or Zoho.
The best cloud storage service and far far better than Dropbox. pCloud is one of the popular rare cloud storage options that gives lifetime storage for a one-time fee.
Low cost Pcs have little SSD GBytes. With pcloud you can store and use files in a virtual disk.
