Our collocated service provider is certified for SSAE 16 SOC 1, Type II that ensures the highest level of security. When using the pCloud service user’s data is transferred to our outsourced servers via TLS/SSL protocol and is copied on at least three server locations in a highly secure certified data center in Dallas, Texas, USA. PCloud hosts user data through a leading certified data center via collocation. The company is headquartered in Switzerland, but the cloud data is hosted in the USA. The pCloud application running on Ubuntu. You can however, choose to “offline” or sync files and folders on to your computer if you wish. These files do not take up space on your computer. Instead these virtual files become instantly available as soon as you install pCloud. The files in your pDrive do not get automatically downloaded to your computer (like Dropbox). When you install pCloud, it creates a virtual drive (pDrive) on your computer. However, I believe that pCloud may scan all your non-encrypted files. In addition, upon transfer, pCloud also applies TLS/SSL channel protection. Note that all the files you store in pCloud are secured with 256-bit AES encryption during and after transfer. That is why, with pCloud, you can choose which files to encrypt and lock, and which ones to store in their natural state and apply file operations on.
You can’t expect server support for generating thumbnail previews of images, transcoding of media files so they are playable in the cloud, creating and extracting archives, and similar operations that cloud users need. The company explains why this makes sense:Īlthough at first thought it is the most natural approach to just encrypt everything, the downside is that when servers do not understand the data, they cannot help you work with your files. pCloud is the first cloud storage provider to offer both encrypted and non-encrypted folders in the same account. The name is a bit unfortunate, but I’ve found their service to be reliable and well designed.
