Icedrive vs pCloud

Icedrive is a cloud storage service with web, desktop, and mobile apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Its Free plan provides 10 GB of storage at free. The desktop app mounts cloud storage as an operating-system drive and offers cache controls; the web file manager includes drag-and-drop, previews, media streaming, and chunked uploads. Mobile apps support streaming, sharing, and device backup. Icedrive lists file versioning and zero-knowledge encryption. It says its client-side encryption protects file contents and names on the device using 256-bit keys. The plan comparison also lists encryption at rest and TLS 1.2/1.3 transfers. Paid plans include user-to-user sharing, with public links and controls such as expiry, download caps, preview-only mode, and passwords. WebDAV is disabled for new users and being phased out for existing users.

pCloud is cloud storage with apps for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows, plus access through my.pCloud.com. Its free plan provides up to 10 GB, and no credit card is required to start.

Users can choose storage in the United States or European Union. Business plans add access levels, teams, shared folders, comments, activity logs, and recovery of file versions from up to 180 days earlier. They also support branded sharing links with a logo, cover, and message. Business storage is GDPR-compliant and ISO-27001 certified.
