I am very happy with pCloud. One of the reasons I got it is: it works very well on Linux. It works on Android. It works on Windows.
And it works in the browser, for things like video and photos.
Also: no risk of trigger-happy account deletion like with Google, if pCloud dies my email still works.
Previously I used OVH online drive service, but it was EOL and pCloud is the replacement.
- atentaten 4y agoHow does pCloud differ from Dropbox?
- Shorel 4y agoI paid for a lifetime subscription. One payment and so far no complaints at all.

So a vendor has the power to disrupt you whenever they feel like EOLing the service you depend on. I understand that's as good as it gets today, but it's not good enough. For me, the only acceptable level of impact is as follows: * vendor X sunsets their service by date D * before date D, I sign-up for a new account with vendor Z and configure it in my filesystem settings * I set vendor X as "deprecated,EOL-date=D" in my filesystem settings. Then my filesystem takes care of everything else for me transparently, with zero downtime and zero effort. Date D comes and goes and I haven't noticed a thing.
- Shorel 4y agoThat's how it happened. OVH announced the EOL about a year before the system was shut down. pCloud is a replacement I choose, nothing to do with old OVH service.
