In their own words
pCloud
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. Storage can extend to 2 TB. The service can back up phone photos and videos automatically and keep important files available offline. Users can share files and folders with passwords and expiration dates, and file versioning is available. Files in the Crypto folder use client-side encryption and zero-knowledge privacy. 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. The Business 3 Users / 3 TB plan costs $29.97 a month and includes a 30-day free trial.
