计算机用户可以使用很多云存储选项,其中之一是pCloud。我们已经使用他们的免费计划一个多月了,现在可以肯定地说它值得使用。由于OneDrive、Google Drive和 iCloud 之类的应用广泛,并且是当今一些最流行的云服务,您可能想知道为什么有人会想要使用 pCloud。好吧,至少从我们的角度来看,这都是关于隐私的。
事情是这样的,美国(United) 的云服务在隐私方面(States)并不安全,因此,如果您是一个非常关心的人,那么总部位于瑞士(Switzerland)的 pClould是最好的之一。
pCloud 评论
首次启动 pCloud 时,您需要登录或创建帐户。创建帐户非常简单,无需启动电子邮件应用程序来验证帐户即可登录。
输入帐户后,您需要单击“验证(Verify)”按钮以使事情尽可能顺利地运行。
应该注意的是,与OneDrive和Dropbox类似,pCloud 服务会在您的计算机上安装一个文件夹。从那里您可以将内容上传到云端并随时下载。
同步
如果您想在两个平台上保持文件更新,那么在您的计算机和 pCloud 之间同步内容非常重要。要使其正常工作,您必须选择要同步的文件夹并将其添加到应用程序中。
单击(Click)同步(Sync)选项卡,然后选择添加新同步(Add New Sync)。从那里,单击选择本地文件夹(Choose Local Folder)并搜索您的首选文件夹以开始操作。找到文件夹后,单击添加同步(Add Sync)以将文件夹上传到 pCloud。
如果您的计算机上没有 pCloud 上的文件夹,只需单击选择(Choose)pCloud驱动器文件夹(Drive Folder),选择您想要的文件夹,然后点击添加同步(Add Sync)。
根据文件夹内文档和文件的大小以及互联网连接的速度,完全同步可能需要一段时间。
分享
当归结为与他人共享内容时,此选项位于“同步(Sync)”选项卡旁边。在这里,您可以看到您正在共享的文件夹以及正在与您共享的文件夹。要共享一个或多个文件夹,请点击Shares,然后点击Invite to Folder。
选择(Select)要共享的文件夹,点击选择(Select)按钮,然后添加对方的电子邮件地址类型。最后,选择显示“发送邀请(Send Invitation)”的按钮,您就可以开始了。
总的来说,我们喜欢使用 pCloud,尽管它不是大男孩之一。您只能获得 10GB 的免费存储空间,这低于Microsoft提供的默认存储空间。但是,需要注意的是,6GB 被锁定,因此,现在只有 4GB 可用。
要获得额外的 6GB,您需要执行六项任务,每项任务完成后都会为您提供 1GB 的免费存储空间。这些任务是,验证电子邮件、下载 pCloud 移动应用程序、打开自动上传、邀请朋友、上传文件和下载 pCloud Drive。
您可以注册 pCloud 并从官方网站(official website)免费下载他们的移动和桌面应用程序。永久免费(Free Forever)的基本 pCloud(Basic pCloud)帐户带有10 GB的可用空间。
pCloud review: Is it a good alternative cloud storage service?
Therе are quite a few cloud storage options available to computer users, and one of them is pCloud. We’ve been using their free plan for over a month now, and can say for certain at this point that it’s worth using. Since the likes of OneDrive, Google Drive, and iCloud are widely available and some of the most popular cloud services today, you might be wondering why anyone would want to use pCloud. Well, it’s all about privacy, at least from our point of view.
Here’s the thing, cloud services based in the United States are not safe where privacy is concerned, therefore if you’re a person who cares a lot, then pClould, which is based in Switzerland, is one of the best.
pCloud review
When you launch pCloud for the first time, you are required to sign in or create an account. Creating an account is very easy and there’s no need to launch the email app to verify the account before being given the ability to log-in.
After entering the account, then, you are required to click the Verify button to get things running as smoothly as possible.
It should be noted that similarly to OneDrive and Dropbox, the pCloud services installs a folder on your machine. From there you can upload content to the cloud and download whenever at will.
Sync
Synchronizing content between your computer and pCloud is very important if you want to keep files updated on both platforms. To get it working, you must select the folder you want to sync and add it to the app.
Click on the Sync tab, then select Add New Sync. From there, click on Choose Local Folder and search for your preferred folder to get things started. After locating the folder, click on Add Sync to get the folder uploaded to pCloud.
If you have folders on pCloud that are not available on your computer, simply click on Choose pCloud Drive Folder, select the folder you want, and hit Add Sync.
Depending on the size of the documents and files inside of the folder and the speed of your internet connection, things might take a while to fully synchronize.
Shares
When comes down to sharing content with others, this option is located beside the Sync tab. Here you can see the folders you’re sharing, alongside those that are being shared with you. To share one or more folders, click on Shares, then Invite to Folder.
Select the folder you want to share, tap the Select button, then add the type the email address of the other party. Finally, choose the button that says Send Invitation and you’re good to go.
Overall, we enjoyed using pCloud despite it not being one of the big boys. You only get 10GB of free storage, which is lower than what Microsoft offers as its default. However, it should be noted that 6GB is locked away, therefore, only 4GB is available right away.
To gain the additional 6GB, you are required to perform six tasks, each giving you 1GB free storage after completion. These tasks are, verifying email, download pCloud mobile app, turn on automatic upload, invite friends, upload a file, and download pCloud Drive.
You can sign up for pCloud and download their mobile and desktop application for free from the official website. The Basic pCloud account which is Free Forever come with 10 GB of free space.
