How secure is pCloud?
pCloud files are encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption.
During transit between applications and pCloud servers, SSL/TLS is used to protect data.
Is pCloud free?

Filter
you’re able to filter your files by their file format.
Clicking on them opens a list of your filtered files.
For Free plans this period is 15 days.
Premium/Premium Plus/Lifetime users get 30 days.
Naturally, you’ve got the option to empty your Trash folder any time you like.
Invite to Folder
Collaborate with your team in shared folders.
Use the option “Invite to folder” to share private folders with other pCloud users.
Control the levels of access by setting View, Edit or Manage permissions.
Once the users accept your invitation, they are ready to start collaborating with you.
you could manage the existing shared folders from pCloud Drive,our mobile apps or from my.pCloud.com.
you’re free to also stop access to any shared folder or change permissions at any time.
These links are dynamic, so they will always show the latest version of the files.
For extra security, you might protect your shared link with a password or set an expiration date.
File requests
Easily receive files from anyone directly to your pCloud account by sending file requests.
Your recipients will be able to upload files without gaining access to your account.
Everything will be organized in one place for your convenience.
All the files you place in the Public Folder will be accessible in an index directory.
pCloud supports block-level sync, so that files are updated even faster.
Backup
Backup all of your precious photos and videos from your mobile gadget in just one click.
Simply turn the Automatic Upload feature ON and your mobile media will be uploaded to your pCloud account.
At pCloud data security is our top priority and we do our best to apply first class safety measures.
pCloud Crypto is the simplest and most secure way to encrypt data.
With pCloud’s unique client-side encryption functionality users' files are safely hidden from any unauthorized access.
The encryption key (Crypto Pass) is only available to the one who creates it, i.e.
We are different than other security-led cloud storage providers.
pCloud is the first cloud storage provider to offer both encrypted and non-encrypted folders in the same account.
pCloud makes the best of both worlds.
Otherwise, as soon as you hit the Lock button they are no longer accessible locally by anyone else.
You are the only one who holds the key.
Even we, as a service provider, do not have access to your encrypted files.
when you lose your laptop).
pCloud Crypto does not have such a vulnerability.
The strictly technical aspects.
We use industry standard 4096-bit RSA for users' private keys and 256-bit AES for per-file and per-folder keys.
We do data authentication in a different way compared to most competitors.
Authentication is the process of verifying that you decrypted the right data.
Many experts consider it a mandatory part of encryption.
Authentication is done by calculating cryptographic hash of the data during encryption and decryption, and comparing the results.
Partial file modifications are also problematic in this case and might also require access to the full file.
The second approach is vulnerable to several types of attacks.
