pCloud vs Proton Drive — Mana yang Lebih Unggul?
Pilih pCloud jika: Pengguna yang mengutamakan privasi dan menginginkan pembayaran lifetime sekali bayar daripada langganan bulanan selamanya
Pilih Proton Drive jika: Pengguna yang mengutamakan privasi yang sudah mempercayai Proton Mail dan ingin file mereka dienkripsi dengan pendekatan zero-knowledge yang sama
Pendapat kami: pCloud for simplicity, Proton Drive for power users.

Perbedaan Sesungguhnya
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.
Kesimpulan
If you value lifetime plan option and pengguna yang mengutamakan privasi, go with pCloud. If pengguna yang mengutamakan privasi matters more, Proton Drive is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
