La vraie différence
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Google Drive stands out with Deep Google Workspace integration and Real-time collaboration on Docs/Sheets/Slides. pCloud counters with Lifetime plan option and Client-side encryption (paid add-on).
Google Drive's Achilles heel: 15 gb shared across gmail, drive, and photos fills up fast — you’ll be paying within months of heavy use. pCloud's: encryption costs extra ($49.99 one-time) — privacy is the selling point but it’s paywalled separately. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Le verdict
If you value deep google workspace integration and tous ceux qui sont, go with Google Drive. If les utilisateurs soucieux de matters more, pCloud is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
