Google Drive vs pCloud——どっちが優秀？

本当の違い
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.
結論
If you value deep google workspace integration and googleエコシステムにいて、docs・sheets・gmailとシームレスに連携するファイルストレージが欲しい人, go with Google Drive. If 月額サブスクの代わりに一回限りのlifetime支払いを望むプライバシー重視のユーザー matters more, pCloud is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
