Considered Both Products

Chose pCloud
The reason why we love pCloud over similar tools is because of its neat and clean interface. We also love options for file encryption through pCloud Crypto, which is unavailable on Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive. Also, the upload speed on pCloud is fantastic and it is a lot …
Chose pCloud
pCloud has a virtual drive which Google Drive does not offer. Sharing links using a custom page is much more professional than Google Drive. I feel pCloud is more value for money than paying for the upgraded Google Drive plan. If pCloud has its own built-in app …

When compared to other devices, pCloud offers a superb user interface that is incredibly simple for anyone to navigate. It also incorporates cryptographic technology, which makes it extremely safe and efficient. Other platforms do not have the same level of protection as ours, …

pCloud does one thing really well; backup, archive, access, and share files & folders. It does not try to be many other things.
Chose pCloud
pCloud's pricing is cheaper than alternatives. pCloud is modern and easy to understand.pCloud has mobile sync which is an amazing feature for me. Even it allows me to upload from a direct download link! pCloud has every feature that an average user required as a cloud backup or …
Chose pCloud
pCloud is miles away from the competition. We chose it because of their flexible pricing and great support. Plus the feature set is really tough to beat.
Chose pCloud
pCloud has a wonderful UI that is very simple for anyone to use as compared to another device. It also has crypto technology which makes it highly secure and efficient. Other platform doesn't have that level of security in them. It also has great features to use like pCloud …
Chose pCloud
pCloud offers features that go above OneDrive's in many areas such as file versioning and file sharing (particularly external sharing). In addition, pCloud's security is unrivaled.

WeTransfer
Chose WeTransfer
I did not choose to use Image Relay, the client did. I really like Image Relay and the fact that you can organize files in different folders, but not the fact that you have to create an account, have access to all the files and folders, and remind passwords. With WeTransfer …
Chose WeTransfer
WeTransfer doesn't require storage. You just send the files and you're done!
Chose WeTransfer
Dropbox is too complex and unreliable to use. I have had many headaches with files not downloading properly, going missing or not opening. I have to spend a lot of time to figure out what I need to do. And just as you think you have everything under control, you set up a nice …
Chose WeTransfer
While Dropbox is more robust with storage and ways to share, it's often cumbersome to send files, especially with clients that don't use Dropbox. WeTransfer sends my clients a link that results in an immediate download - no fuss, no having to log in. The process is much easier, …
Chose WeTransfer
Both solutions work fairly seamlessly. But we prefer Dropbox because we can more easily track our files across devices and across the organization. They are equal when it comes to sending files, but receiving files is where some friction points/frustration points arise.
Chose WeTransfer
WeTransfer is much faster and cuts out a lot of the extra steps of the other services we've used. It can automatically email the recipient when the file upload is done, cutting out a step.
Chose WeTransfer
We actually use both other platforms because we may be required to by our clients or vendors. I find We Transfer easier to use especially remotely - quicker to upload and send.
Chose WeTransfer
Dropbox is a terrible and slow service, so WeTransfer is the far better option between the two. Google Drive isn't as professional as WeTransfer (in my opinion) so using WeTransfer might be the better option.
Chose WeTransfer
The listed alternative are also very good but we have specifically used WeTransfer for it's simple and straight to the point file hosting. All of the above services require registration and WeTransfer doesn't. We can just send our files quickly and call it a day. The files …
Chose WeTransfer
While Dropbox does offer features that WeTransfer does not in terms of collaboration & organization, WeTransfer is the better option for simple file transfers. In my experience, WeTransfer is much faster for uploads & downloads. The premium version of WeTransfer also offers a …

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
Our normal team meeting was taking place, and we were transferring our data to pCloud. pCloud had supplied us with a platform from which we could download our critical data whenever we needed it. We also need to provide our project status report, and for this, we upload our PowerPoint presentation to the cloud, which has proven to be useful anytime we have needed it. It may be used in a variety of ways, including storing, sharing, and backing up essential files in a folder on your computer.

I would definitely recommend WeTransfer - especially the paid version. I feel like all of the shortcomings with the free service (file size limit & content deletion after 7 days) are all fixed when you upgrade your account, and the service is not very expensive. It only costs $12/monthly or $120/annually. WeTransfer makes it so easy to send files, and the additional features such as creating a link to your content & password protection are great. Very straightforward & easy to use.

Pros
  • pCloud helps us to store data very well and it is accessible from anywhere. It makes it easy for anyone to use it and secure the data. It is easy to upload data and access it while having a meeting with our client.
  • pCloud easily stores files from another platform as well like Google Drive or Dropbox. It easily exchanges information like images, videos, and documents. This feature is amazing as it gives access to files from other storage.
  • It had one feature known as pCloud Crypto which gives high-end security to the data when stored. It is highly secure and encrypted. It uses blockchain technology which requires a key to use called Crypto Pass to unlock your data. Really like it.

Usability
It is very easy to use, fast loading and the product team keeps adding updates. Like now I can listen to all my audiobooks from a playlist in pCloud. I am ask for files or send files easier than ever before. I also have access to all my files whereever I am.

I've only reached out to WeTransfer support once, but they were prompt, courteous, and answered my question. I assume that future interactions would be the same, I'm looking forward to being a long term customer.

pCloud has a virtual drive which Google Drive does not offer. Sharing links using a custom page is much more professional than Google Drive. I feel pCloud is more value for money than paying for the upgraded Google Drive plan. If pCloud has its own built-in app editor/viewers like Google Docs/Sheets etc that would be even better!

I did not choose to use Image Relay, the client did. I really like Image Relay and the fact that you can organize files in different folders, but not the fact that you have to create an account, have access to all the files and folders, and remind passwords. With WeTransfer skipping all these requirements, it is way easier and faster.

Return on Investment

  • The Synchronization issue is there with pCloud Data Storage. It needs to be updated by the developers if possible.
  • pCloud has helped us with the improvement of our business requirements, as it makes our work easier and fast enough to deliver the project details on time to clients.

  • I can work faster since it's easy to use and reliable. Some other file transfer platforms have failed me and are too complex to manage.
  • I keep my clients happy - never have they had any issues with a transfer.
  • It is not an exclusive use platform, so I can use it with everyone - even new clients.
