While Europe is home to companies that care about user privacy and user rights, they are overshadowed by Big Tech companies ever dominating our digital world. In today’s post, we talk about pCloud, a cloud storage service in Switzerland and provides a good alternative to Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or Apple iCloud.

What is pCloud?
pCloud is a file hosting service with data hosted in Switzerland🇨🇭 and the EU. It is available in three major web, desktop, and mobile versions. With its yearly and lifetime plans, you get pCloud Premium and pCloud Crypto accounts which also give you the ability to store, share, and sync files on Cloud Storage, while zero-knowledge encryption adds the highest level of privacy.

Why Choose pCloud?
Privacy First: Encryption ensures you’re the only owner of your files.
EU-hosted: Your data will be kept securely under strict European law (GDPR).
Fair pricing: One-time payment options — no endless subscriptions.

pCloud vs. Big Tech
Unlike Google and Microsoft, pCloud does not mine your data or put you under the jurisdiction of US-surveillance laws. It might not have as many app integrations, but it sure beats the competitors with outstanding privacy policies, clear regulations, and total control to the user.

Why It Fits Our Vision
At the Network Institute, via SoftwareEU, we envision a digital Europe that is ethical, autonomous, and equitable. With pCloud, we can have our values and convenience at the same time.
