Any data stored in pCloud Crypto remains encrypted, though, so the authorities would not be able to access its contents. Unlike many of its rivals, pCloud offers no live chat support and, in our experience, response times to queries were hit or miss. If you want to contact pCloud directly to chat with a support agent, your only option is to call the company.
However, the number is a Swiss number, and it operates on Swiss business hours, making this tricky for U. Not ideal. Without readily accessible chat or phone support, your next best option is to get in touch via email or by using the contact form. We sent an email with a general query and received a response within 12 hours.
The support agent answered our question in detail and we felt confident that they were knowledgeable about the product. As this pCloud review has explained, pCloud dominates with an easy-to-use service for an affordable price that makes it a go-to option for online storage in almost every situation. The virtual drive system is a great way to access all your files and folders without filling up your precious hard drive space, while the Crypto folder allows you to decide which files and folders you want to protect with zero-knowledge encryption.
Although this is a paid add-on, it does give you the security you need for your files. There are some other nice multimedia features as well, which allow you to resize your photos and compress your videos. While the pCloud lifetime plans remain heavily discounted, now is the best time to make the investment, if you can.
Do you think pCloud is one of the best cloud storage services available? Is there something you think the service could do to improve? Let us know in the comments below. Thanks for reading. Best ever Cloud storage. Really thinking of upgrading to 4TB from 2TB. The streaming speed seems to be on a par with Netflix, never any issues.
If your really worried about encryption with certain files, I just double encrypt with something like 7zip before I upload which is encryption. Great service and the best Cloud service out there. They deleted my. I have spent the last few days going through all the cloud providers that I could find online.
I mean all the big players like Mega, Dropbox, OneDrive etc. As of this moment, there is no provider that can match pCloud by far! I will try to list some of my concerns here:. I have a Transcend Gb flash drive in my SD card port permanently which doubles my internal storage. I want to put my music, pictures, photos there as there is no need to access them all the time and want to keep my main drive free. Only pCloud and Mega will allow this.
This thing is huge! I personally will not fill GB in the near future so 1TB is totally overkill. None the less I got a mail from the support within 30min. Good luck with getting this from Amazon or anyone else! They are too big to care about you even though I love shopping on Amazon! For few hours during the last night, I was able to upload 40GB of data. Now, I am professional enough to know that this has nothing to do with their servers and everything to do with my network.
All in all, I think that these guys are amazing and provide an incredible service for an incredible price. For the record, DropBox has web players for both music and videos, I use them all the time. For me pCloud is the best! Its platform is really user friendly, they have good support and pCloud Crypto helps me feel safe about my files. A few years ago, I was on UbuntuOne, which was good. When they discontinued their service, I discovered Wuala, which I found excellent.
As a farewell-note they recommended Tresorit. For that service, I paid almost USD for a year upfront. In the beginning, it worked just fine, although for that price you could only connect five machines: too little for a computer at home, one at work, and a laptop for travel, all running dual boot, plus a smartphone and a tablet.
After 5 or 6 months, after a Linux-update, Tresorit stopped working on Ubuntu, and it uploaded only random files on Linux Mint. Instead, since I stopped using it, I keep getting Tresorit-ads from them.
Glad to have found pCloud — for a month, it has worked flawlessly on Linux, Win, and Android, and I hope they will stay around! I am also in China and I tried everything already. First I was a dropbox user, then it was inaccessible from China. I switched to Copy, but it was discontinued. Then to Cubby, but that will be eliminated soon as well, what luck! So much for my background. Then I switched to pCloud after doing some research on what works well in China.
I would not say it is fast, despite their own speed comparison to dropbox. Such official speed comparisons are meaningless as far as users in China are concerned.
So, while not fast, it does do the job. The only issue I have so far is I have no idea how to completely disable the screenshot upload popup. I have no interest in uploading my screenshots to pCloud, yet the popup asks me to do so every couple days.
A side search brings up nothing on this topic. The Windows client is otherwise well designed. I have not tested any mobile clients because I am a Windows 10 mobile user, and virtually no cloud storage providers create an app for that, apart from OneDrive of course.
I would recommend to anyone in China. I am thinking of switching to their paid plans soon, GB for 4 bucks is reasonable. The best cloud software. Easy to set and use, so much better than Dropbox. Reasonably fast in Sydney, Australia. I like it, because pcloud drive can install on my old pc with window xp sp2 installed. It is very good and easy sync, just copy file and paste it on pcloud drive. Very very good cloud. You can select any folders of your choice to sync, very cool.
The web interface and android app is good as well. I have been using PCloud for almost a year, have not had any issues uploading or downloading, looks like folder upload does not work with IE but works with Chrome. I like the free 10gb and the invite friends to get additional 10gb, thinking about purchasing plan for 1 year hopefully with discount. I would sign up for more capacity but a bit more expensive. This means we do not have access to any of your files or even your Crypto folder. I looked at many different offerings and in the end found pCloud.
After using my free account for a short while, I was that impressed that I signed up to a Gb paid account to handle both my private and work needs. Thanks Ken for the comment. Plus: What is really annoying, is that after every successful upload, the Windows Explorer gets refreshed, leading to a short flare of all symbols of the desktop.
Since I permanently upload files, this is rather annoying. This looks great, especially the Linux support, but the lack of two factor authentication is a deal-breaker for me. Please add it, and you will have me as a paying customer. Part of this is probably just the user feedback around what is going on, but I feel like under the hood there might be way too much going on in terms of how it checks recency.
Please note that we are working tirelessly towards improving our product and our advise is to test the sync with the most recent version of pCloud Drive now. On the paid plans, are all the files stored encrypted without paying extra for Crypto Folder feature? Yes, we do have server-side encryption for the pCloud accounts, no matter of the subscription — the same is valid for the free accounts as well. The Crypto gives client-side encryption. Hello: I thought only the crypto folder contents were stored encrypted on your servers?
Also ALL traffic is transported encrypted correct? Thanks Love pcloud so far. I read your comments with interest. I am currently working through an evaluation of cloud providers and pCloud seems to offer what I want which is essentially a virtual drive with a good starting point of GB. I cannot get a direct answer.
I used to use Keepit which was excellent but they only offer a backup service. Anyone care to expand? The answer to your question cloud be found within our Terms and Conditions, available on our official website.
After testing the pCloud Crypto service for a few days I noticed that I can not download files more than mb from the Crypto folder. Also, I did not see where the permissions were listed. Unfortunately, the same is not supported yet.
You can always use the desktop app to upload more files at once as well. I looked into pCloud after I decided I no longer want to have my data with Dropbox. I love their service: European company, I like the implementation of a network drive where you only download what you need…. BUT their servers are in Dallas, not in Switzerland.
At the moment only Degoo have data outside the US. Unfortunately in comparison to pCloud their API and feature look like a 5 year old built it! We have the main data center located in the USA, indeed, however, we do own all of our servers, which is something rarely seen these days. The good news is that by the end of this year we would be opening a new main data center in Europe! Hi I have a friend that wants to email me a Few things though this pcloud will It cost me to download the things he is sending me through pcloud to my email?
But the pCloud installation causes my XP machine to freeze, with the bad effects seen first in explorer. Absolutely loving pCloud. Definitely better than Dropbox — havent encountered any bandwidth limit issues as you do on Dropbox. Also faster! If anything changes, will revise this post. Until then, for now, go for pCloud! Every folder should be encrypted or something, so not even the company, or any institution, could read our private stuff.
Specially because they are outsourcing in the US privacy laws are different there than in Switzerland. Upload speed sometimes download, too should be faster. It took me many hours to upload a few folders.
Besides that, I love the service. Very similar to SugarSync, but with no synchronization problems at all. I need every folder to be encrypted on the server. Even if that means making the process a few milliseconds slower.. If we use the service specially the ones who pay, like me is because we need a fast, secure and trusted service.
If you are going to store our data in the US zero knowledge encryption must be included for free, not as a paid service. I had to abandon their Windows app because it ignored the cache limit. We do own all of our servers in the USA and we are to open a new European data center by the end of this year. As stated on our website, the account comes with server-side encryption, so there is actually encryption of your files and no one can see your files, of course. It depends on a lot of things when it comes to speed.
You would have to contact our support, so they can assist you in finding a solution. For me, this is the one. Pcloud is the best so far. For those who have speed issue its best to uoload only using chrome browser, its way faster than there desktop application. I love it so far i have the gb plan and soon ill expand to the 2tb plan, i dont regret any penny spent on this awesone cloud. Way better than googledrive dropbox and onedrive as i tried all these and pcloud is way better.
Thank you pcloud. I think it is a pretty good deal. The bad news is it will take a little over 4-years to break even. The good news is you have cloud storage until you die or they go out of business. Also online cloud is more secure, offers a lot of other features and so on and so on…. I contacted support but they simply fingerpointef to Synology. It did not work on my Seagate Personal Cloud.
Gives an unknown error. Beware though that pCloud support now says that they are not officially supporting webDAV. We do officially support WebDAV actually. It is more limited than our apps, indeed, as we are focused on adding more features to the platform itself currently. I received the same email last month saying that pcloud does NOT support webdav on synology. The synology will loose authentication to pcloud webdav servers every day. Well, it is great to hear that you officially support WebDAV.
Our WebDAV works fine and if there is a technical issue, we do suggest you contact our Tech Support directly at [email protected] ,. Dear PCloud-Support, sorry if I complain about this comment, but I really do not understand your attitude. You state you officially support WebDAV and it works fine. All Synology users will know it is not true.
Your answer to them is you do not support NAS. What is next? Right now, I was not able to use the cloud for any backup job at all, due to the problems described above. And I am beginning to ask myself what I paid for…. This is currently the biggest gripe with the service. Please test our platform again. Happy customer here and I do recommend this service. It would be an option if crypto folder was included in the price.
No reason to pay extra when other cloud providers offer zero knowledge encryption for free. I do not recommend this provider.
Not very mature service, I was stupid and bought the lifetime plan without testing the service for no more than 2 or 3 days.
After 3 days of support requesting me to login, update, reset, clear cache, etc. Hi, yes — we do not support special symbols used with the MacOSX client of ours, unfortunately. Sorry that helping you to know the reason for your issue took some time as well. Interestingly, the support was not able to give me that information. Apart from that, pCloud is still my favorite cloud storage service.
I like the features, the user interface, security and the fact that it really extends disk space of devices.
It is even worse now, not only folders are empty, files can not be opened either. Yes, support is clueless about this, is a concern because this is suppose to be their business. We currently have not worked out a seamles way to solve the problem on our side, but we have not given up.
There will be no problems with special characters for those names. Testing out now, but extremely slow upload speeds from Dubai. This is going to take a long time to switch over from my Dropbox 2Tb account! Responses usually takes half a day or a day at max.
The download and upload speed varies from computer, time and ISP. I only mainly back up my photos and videos and important files. This is the only bad thing in their otherwise perfect system. I keep my sensitive files on my Sync account and non-sensitive files on my pCloud account. If anything, I would rather purchase their 2TB lifetime premium, although I hope they offer to increase the storage space someday to something more like 5TB or 10TB as nowadays, people download and create more files than they can store.
I horde music and movies on the daily. I highly recommend this service along with Sync. Another example why other services are better, you pay extra for something that actually works and has support. Hi Cesar, note that the AU option works only with the Gallery and the files taken with the device itself uploaded there.
Did you try our pCloud Save extension for browsers? We do have that option for the screenshots possible with the desktop app, not the mobile one at present. It sometimes looses sync and does not update the cloud. Also pcloud does not provide LOG files, so you never know what it does. Also pcloud does not have management view. Also the crypto feature is awkward to use with different issues. Although the security is probably good, the handling and user friendliness is abysmal.
Any advanced topic and any discussions of bugs in pcloud will be shortcircuited by sending you boiler plate answers. It allows sync from ANY folder and can even handle of thousands of files with little memory consumption and good speed. But again, that sync does not always work reliably. Hi Daniel, Thank you for taking the time to test and review our service. Note that we have been working tirelessly towards improving our apps and features, so we advise you to test them out now — we are sure that you would be left surprised pleasantly!
I have had Pcloud for about 2 years now, their service is astoundingly solid, which is why I opted to sign up for their lifetime service, it has been well worth it. I have been using pCloud for quite a while now and I am pleased to share, that so far non of the oder cloud providers which I use such as Googe Drive, OneDrive not iCloud , offers me the perfect combination between price and amount of storage.
There is no tech support at all, just emails with useless replies. I took photos on Christmas that were never uploaded until I manually opened pClould one week later to try to find out what was happening. Reported Issues are ignored, I think that they only have one junior developer, and probably they have this person doing everything.
I lost GBs worth of data while I was on their paid subscription. Due to some bug, Pcloud application can delete your data while it is getting uploaded. And their customer support is so rude, they blame it on the customer saying that it is the responsibility of the customer to maintain additional copy of the files somewhere so that it can be retrieved if their application goofs up.
Completely unreliable. Hi Tuhin, In case a file is uploaded in pCloud successfully, it is impossible to have that deleted without doing that by yourself intentionally. Hi again Cesar, we advise you to test our platform now and advise us back. We were working really hard to improve ourselves and we are sure that you would be able to see that as well! I used pCloud for about a week and started to see issues having pCloud Drive mount on my Mac. To be fair, customer support helped solved it but it came back again.
It seemed like their stability and reliability for Macs is less than their Windows versions. A bit disappointed with the applications to be honest. I think it is definitely better than Dropbox given all the additional features. However, private encryption should be included as standard.
Thats where they need to improve. All systems can be hacked so the best defence is private encryption. This must be standard practice in the Cloud- not an extra. Hi Paul, we do offer server-side encryption and we do own all of our servers. We doubt that our users could feel insecure with us, but for that purpose, we have Crypto paid and 2FA along with Google Authenticator invented.
I paid for a lifetime contract for 2 TB about 1 month ago. I am a Mac user. I need convenient cloud access to all my files, which is why I decided to pay for it. Some kind of bug, but I really hope the developers see this and fix it! If your folder shows as empty probably you are using special characters in folder names.
The developer forgot to code support for special characters. I asked for a refund for that and many other issues but they responded saying that I can only do that 10 DAYS after buying their service. The best solution is to think that your money was stolen and switch to Dropbox, OneDrive or Google Drive, these review is a joke, they give high scores for such mediocre product. Hi Simon, as we have stated to Cesar — we have improved A LOT since last year, so our advice is to keep your apps to the most recent version and contact our Tech Support directly in case you have any issues.
I have been using pCloud since and the only problem I encountered was sometime in June I find pCloud to be very good. This review is not a joke as I have the exact opposite experience than Cesar. Also, I would like to add, something that has not been mentioned here, is that you can host files using the Public Folder feature.
This is what sets pCloud apart from all the rest of cloud providers. You just drop the file in one of the Public Folder folders you created and then you go to the pCloud browser, then copy and paste the link. Public Folder can even host a static website. You can host a website using pCloud. Please note though that Public Folder is only available to paid subscription and that the monthly traffic is only limited to the size of your subscription. For example, your subscription is GB, your monthly total request traffic limit is also GB.
Since you will mostly be hosting pictures for your friends or in some blogs or forums, GB is more than enough. I also use file hosting feature for email attachments. In case I needed to remove the attachment, I can just delete the file. If you send a file as an attachment in emails, the email service will host the file. It will also prevent other people from sharing the attachment because you can delete the original file.
Imagine you accidentally sent a nude picture of yourself. You are done as soon as you click send. But with file hosting, when they click on the link, all they see is an error. It dumped all GB of my data into the root folder with NO directory structure. Computer Audio Threads Today at AM tungt Mobile Computing Threads Looking for a Window tablet.

I have also removed Mella drivers. However, upgrade still reports conflicting vibs, how do I find these? Jlawrence, thank you! Post nr. And Thank you Stephen for this article! Upgrading from USB from 5. But i think im missing something here, even when i free install the ESXi 6. Do you remember when you upgrade your DLp G8 to 6.
I think here is a problem with a driver of some sensor installing the 6. I tried to find the Async VMkLinux driver ixgbe 4. Adding the depot repo will update all HPe components. I would love to at least jump to 6. But I guess I can try to install everything on 5. I maybe can install on my PC a vcenter server 6. I will keep you posted, thankx for all the fast help. The HPe custom image does have the right stuff, but keep in mind that updates for drivers are released all the time frequently , so most of it is already out of date.
These servers are noisy, so you may be stuck with it. Last recommendation would be to check the BIOS, and possibly adjust the power management settings in there as well.
After updating the server to ESXi 6. It seems that with the ESXi 6. Here is the paper with the list of the cards so if one of you have these cards you can put your server more silent downgrading the 2 VIB drivers of the ESX 6. Now afterr updating the ESXi to 6.
Hi Stephen-This is great info! These vibs on the host are missing dependency if you continue to upgrade. Remove these vibs before upgrade or use Image Builder. Apparently the usc tool enables the ease of validation of usc hcl matrix.
I run the following command, with output below. Can I remove the usc-tool? Thanks so much for this helpful site! Name: ucs-tool-esxi Version: 1. You could try updating the drivers to see if it allows you to pass an upgrade.
Also worst case, you could try doing an offline upgrade instead of through the VMware update Manager. Not sure if Dell has a VIB depot. I am using the Dell ISO to upgrade. The Update Manager was giving errors, so I am updating at console with vmware 6. Thanks very much for the suggestions.
We are using offline dell customize image to upgrade our esxi host from 6. I modified the commands as follows and was able to find the VIB containing the driver:.
Hi, I have a different errors. Try using VUM and update all the components first on the host before attempting the upgrade.
Hi Stephen, the problem is that there is not vCenter. So, it seems I should perform an onsite upgrade. Wich components are you referring to? I've tried updating the profile with no luck..
I'm thinking maybe I should do the install but it will remove everything as well which I'm afraid to do at this point. If you still cant do that, try doing a manual upgrade instead of using vSphere Update Manager. For those of you trying to update and having issues, it is a better idea to update the drivers instead of deleting them. Select applicable ESXi version. Click Driver CDs. Find the required driver version. Your Comment.
