pCloud International AG, a cloud storage service provider based in Switzerland, is running a campaign for new users to commemorate its 13th anniversary. The campaign, which runs until September 27, offers '500GB cloud storage,' 'pCloud Pass Premium,' and 'pCloud Encryption' free for 90 days. It can be accessed via a special online page, and no credit card registration is required. With over 24 million users worldwide, the company states it continues to operate its services with a strong emphasis on data protection under Swiss jurisdiction.
The highlight of this campaign is the ability to experience three features with a single sign-up. The 500GB cloud storage allows users to save large volumes of photos, videos, and documents. pCloud Pass Premium securely manages passwords across multiple devices, supporting one-click login, auto-fill, and strong password generation. pCloud Encryption employs client-side zero-knowledge encryption, meaning data is encrypted on the user's device before being uploaded.
pCloud features a cross-platform design, usable across macOS, Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS. It supports file management via its dedicated app 'pCloud Drive,' as well as automatic photo/video uploads, instant synchronization, and automatic backups. In addition to collaborative use through shared links and folder invitations, it also offers audio/video playback, automatic photo organization, and the 'pDocs' collaborative document editing feature. Lifetime plans are also available, a notable feature allowing users to avoid recurring subscriptions.
Applications for the campaign are made through the special page. After the free period ends, users will not be automatically transitioned to a paid plan; they can choose whether or not to continue using the service. Users can choose to store their data in data centers in Luxembourg (European Union) or the United States, making it suitable for users who prioritize security and privacy. For new users, this is an excellent opportunity to try out cloud storage and security management all at once.
