How much cloud storage do I need?
You need to take a look at the files you intend to store online. The size of storage space you'll need in the long run mostly depends on the type of files you intend to back up. For example, if you're a professional photographer, your photos will take up more space than if you're only taking photos with your smartphone. But let's say you only want to backup the photos you're taking with your phone. A 10GB storage account will offer you enough room for about a year.

How much can I store on my phone, tablet or computer with pCloud?
You can store as many files and folders as your pCloud space quota allow. Note that it does not matter how much data your device can hold. You can't find yourself running out of space. By logging as a free user, you are allowed to store up to 10 GB. However, if you need more space you can upgrade your account to 500 GB or 2 TB storage space.
What is shared link traffic and how much does each pCloud plan include?
Shared link traffic is the traffic generated when other people stream or download content from your shared links.

Every pCloud plan has a specified amount of shared link traffic you can use for your links. It is reset on a monthly basis (regardless of the subscription you have - monthly, annual or Lifetime).

Traffic limits are as follows:
  • pCloud Basic - 50 GB
  • pCloud Premium - 500 GB
  • pCloud Premium Plus - 2 TB
  • pCloud Premium Custom - 2 TB
  • What is pCloud lifetime?

    Lifetime is an official pCloud plan, where we provide you with a lifetime use of your Premium storage at pCloud, at a single, one-time payment.

    How long does “Lifetime” refer to?

    We have defined a Lifetime account as 99 years or the lifetime of the account holder, whichever is shorter. Please refer to pCloud's Terms and Conditions for more information.

    Does pCloud have a minimum period under which Lifetime usage will be guaranteed?

    In essence, by paying a couple of years in advance, you're getting storage for a lifetime.
    If you’re in doubts about the Lifetime plan as a solution to your storage needs, we recommend our monthly and annual subscription plans.

    Can I upgrade my 500GB Lifetime account to the 2TB Lifetime plan?

    Yes, that’s possible. Keep in mind, though, that you won't be able to deduct the amount you paid for your 500 GB Lifetime plan, from the price of the plan to which you want to upgrade. This is due to the fact that all possible discounts have been included in the price of the Lifetime plan.
    If you decide to upgrade your Lifetime account, the amount of Lifetime storage you initially had will add up to your new plan. For example, if you are a 500 GB Lifetime member and you’re upgrading to 2 TB Lifetime, after your upgrade you will have 2.5 TB of storage.

    I have an annual/monthly subscription at pCloud. Can I upgrade to a Lifetime plan?

    Yes, you can upgrade at any time you wish. Keep in mind, however, that it is NOT possible to deduct your subscription payment from the price of the Lifetime membership.

    Does the Lifetime Premium and Premium Plus plan include Lifetime pCloud Encryption?

    The Lifetime Premium and Premium Plus plans don't include pCloud Encryption. You can always add a Lifetime Crypto membership to your Lifetime plan by purchasing it separately.

    How long will my Lifetime account stay active if I am not performing any operations?

    There is no inactivity clause for Lifetime users. Even if you are inactive, your Lifetime account and the content there will stay.

    How are my files secured if I'm not subscribed to pCloud Encryption?

    Regardless of what type of account you have at pCloud, we make sure your data stays secure. All of the files you store in pCloud are secured with 256-bit AES method of encrypting during and after transfer. In addition, upon transfer, pCloud also applies TLS/SSL channel protection.

    Securing your files is not limited to potential hacks only, but to protection from potential hardware failure as well.After your data is uploaded onto the pCloud servers, we keep 5 copies on at least three server locations in a highly secure data storage center, monitored 24/7.

    pCloud Encryption, on the other hand, is an optional extra layer of file protection for your sensitive data, which encrypts the information you upload on your device, before its transfer.

    I am a user of pCloud for over 3 years now, owning two accounts, both family personal and business. I can share folders between accounts and have everything at hand. Crypto is super cool to have encrypted private files, password protected.

    "I have been using pCloud for about 6 months for my business. It was vital for us to find a partner in Europe, due to GDPR reasons. The customer service is great and consistent, the menus are intuitive, and it offers a safe and simple way to manage your data - also across systems (Linux, Mac, Windows)."
