真正的区别
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
MEGA stands out with End-to-end encryption by default and Generous free storage. pCloud counters with Lifetime plan option and Client-side encryption (paid add-on).
MEGA's Achilles heel: reputation baggage from the megaupload era — some businesses won’t touch it for compliance reasons. 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.
最终结论
If you value end-to-end encryption by default and 想要最慷慨的免费加密存储、又不想把数据交给科技巨头的用户, go with MEGA. If 注重隐私、想一次性终身买断而不是永远交月费的用户 matters more, pCloud is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
