If you're already onGoogle DriveoriCloud, you might wonder why anyone would bother with anything else. After all, both services are very convenient, and both companies are generally regarded as trustworthy and competent. Unfortunately, they both get a copy of the encryption keys for your cloud storage account, which is pretty bad for privacy. pCloud, based in Switzerland and founded in 2013, offers a better alternative for people who want more selective access for their personal data.
Easy to use:pCloud for Windows adds a virtual storage device to your PC. In the File Explorer, you'll see it as the P: drive, and you can click-and-drag files back and forth just like any hard drive or partition. You can also right-click on pretty much any folder or file and get the option to add it to your cloud storage. Since your P: drive is actually located in the cloud, putting a file there doesn't take up additional space on your PC. And once a file is on P:, it gets synced to all other devices where you have pCloud installed.
