How to get get 70% off of lifetime cloud storage, with encryption add-on as a free gift

Cloud storage is useful in a ton of different ways, and pCloud has a killer offer to share with 9to5Google readers that includes a huge discount on a lifetime of cloud storage, but also includes upgraded encryption as a free gift. Here’s what you need to know.

Running from June 30 through July 7 for the Independence Day holiday, you can get lifetime cloud storage from pCloud at massive discounts. This includes:

Comparing that to something like Google Drive, you’re coming out way ahead. A 2TB plan on Google One (while it includes more than just storage) runs $10 per month. Meaning after just under two years, you’ve already paid for pCloud, and essentially have “free” storage for the rest of your life from that point. The math works out even better for the 10TB plan. Google charges $50 per month for that, which would pay off this pCloud offer in just over a year.

pCloud supports desktop apps on Windows, macOS, and Linux, while also including apps for iOS and Android that can automatically backup data so you can keep space free on your phone. You’ll also be able to share files with other users with a simple link, and can collaborate with other pCloud users with folder invitations and more.

This storage is also super versatile. You can use it to back up your general files, to share files as mentioned, or to create your own cloud-based media library. Where Google Photos will only get more expensive over time, pCloud’s storage costs are fixed. Plus, you can also upload music and use the app’s built-in media player to stream that on your phone.

Beyond storage and file management, this offer also includes a free gift of upgraded pCloud Encryption.

Usually a $229 add-on, pCloud Encryption adds client-side encryption that ensures your files are safely stored in the cloud, with only you having control over that data. pCloud has a “zero-knowledge” policy, with the encryption keys solely in your hands.
