PCloud also uses a freemium business model. You can also set the permission to edit or only view the folder contents when inviting someone. The software allows you to invite team members to join a particular folder. Collaboration abilitiesĪll cloud storage services have transfigured from a mere service used to store files online to a collaboration tool, and so has pCloud. When you press the upload button on pCloud, the folder’s files will start uploading but interesting enough you can minimize the upload progress window and proceed with your tasks without any issue. Nothing feels as excellent as software running in the background without affecting how your machine functions. You will discover how key this feature is when uploading large files. The upload manager feature is significant enough for a cloud storage service.
In essence, if you have a high-definition video on pCloud with a file size of 1GB and share the link publicly, it will only be downloaded 50 times. You have monthly download link traffic each month. but you should test a couple of datacenters to avoid picking a dud.įor reference, link to my results spreadsheet and detailed AWS results table below.We recommend that you be wise to use pCloud as a file-sharing medium. Ignoring Sydney, seems like choice of data datacenters not so important as the speeds are pretty much the same between choosing EU / US.Ĭonclusion - S3 really the fastest cloud storage, especially wonderful if you have a local data center but even otherwise can get unbeatable speeds. To be honest, the result is so bad perhaps one of the devs can look into the comms between AWS Syd region to see if there is some odd interaction going on causing the slow down. Firmly middle of the pack even compared to the other webservices with some really bad outliers. What was really weird was I also tested other data centers (Asia Pac (Sydney), US (North California), EU (London)) and turns out - Sydney despite being pretty close geographically has really slow speeds. I am located in Singapore and, luckily, Amazon run a data center here (the things you learn from doing testing) and it is the absolute KING of speed, trailing my local storage by only a little bit. The very interesting bit is geographic results. Anyway, the various locations I tested (details on that below) basically have taken the 1,2,3 spots if you ignore local storage. Not sure which of the other providers (Box? pcloud?) running as a wrapper around S3 - but obviously quicker if doing direct access without the translation overhead. no need on AWS credentials - giving AWS Free Tier a - did some testing around AWS very interesting conclusions:ĪWS is generally the quickest (beating the previous winners - Onedrive and Google).
