What is pCloud?
pCloud is a cloud- based digital asset management platform that provides access to all digital content including images,video, audio, documents, and more, anytime, anywhere, on any device. Users can keep important files safe and centralized in one place, and share with team members, clients, etc. across the globe with controlled access and permissions to the digital library.
The vendor says that the product has a user-friendly interface that clearly shows where everything is located and what it does. The software is available for multiple platforms – iOS and Android devices, Mac, Windows, and Linux.
Installing pCloud through its desktop application, pCloud Drive, creates a secure virtual drive which expands local storage space. Every change made in the pCloud can be seen immediately on the user's computer, phone or tablet. All devices are instantly synchronized, giving users direct file access to any updates they make.
pCloud's latest feature, Branded links, allows users to customize download links with their brand's style and logo.
Users can also save sensitive information and private documents in the cloud, and have them available on any device. Nobody has access to these files, including the administrators of pCloud. With client-side encryption, files are encrypted locally on the user's computer and only the encrypted information is uploaded in the cloud.

pCloud's Virtual Drive makes it the ideal cloud storage.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I have used pCloud's public folder to share files with clients. It's great that pCloud can do more than just share a link, but can set up a landing page where clients can view these links. These pages can be customized with our logo. It looks much more professional than just a simple link. Using pCloud's virtual drive saves hard drive space on my laptop so I can have more files easily accessible.

- Virtual Drive.
- Large capacity.
Cons
- Upload/Download speeds vary.
