الفرق الحقيقي
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
pCloud stands out with Lifetime plan option and Client-side encryption (paid add-on). Proton Drive counters with End-to-end encrypted file storage and sharing and Zero-access encryption — even Proton cannot read your files.
pCloud's Achilles heel: encryption costs extra ($49.99 one-time) — privacy is the selling point but it’s paywalled separately. Proton Drive's: storage amounts are small for the price — 200gb for $4/mo when google gives you 100gb for $2/mo. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
الخلاصة
If you value lifetime plan option and المستخدمون المهتمون بالخصوصية الذين, go with pCloud. If المستخدمون الذين يضعون الخصوصية matters more, Proton Drive is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
