When you install pCloud, it creates a virtual drive (pDrive) on your computer. However, I believe that pCloud may scan all your non-encrypted files. In addition, upon transfer, pCloud also applies TLS/SSL channel protection. Note that all the files you store in pCloud are secured with 256-bit AES encryption during and after transfer. That is why, with pCloud, you can choose which files to encrypt and lock, and which ones to store in their natural state and apply file operations on. You can’t expect server support for generating thumbnail previews of images, transcoding of media files so they are playable in the cloud, creating and extracting archives, and similar operations that cloud users need. The company explains why this makes sense:Īlthough at first thought it is the most natural approach to just encrypt everything, the downside is that when servers do not understand the data, they cannot help you work with your files. pCloud is the first cloud storage provider to offer both encrypted and non-encrypted folders in the same account. The name is a bit unfortunate, but I’ve found their service to be reliable and well designed. I'm happy to contribute to the development of such a great, thoughtful, and rather pretty piece of software that I use every day.PCloud is a secure cloud provider. That's what sold me really, since I have video files strewn everywhere. The killer feature? Infuse connects to and plays from several cloud storage providers, including Google Drive and pcloud. (The perfect video player for cinephiles exists only in my head.) I won't go into the deficiencies here. Enter Infuse, which is the best and prettiest iTunes/Plex-style player on the Mac right now. Plus, it doesn't recognize downloaded TV shows, for some unknown reason. But Plex requires installing a server and the dual install eats up a lot of RAM. So I found Plex and stuck with it for a while. (If all you want is a VLC-style player, there are a lot of cookie cutter offerings out there.
The obvious choice was the crossplatform and free VLC, and it's true it will smoothly play anything you throw at it, but I wanted an iTunes-style player with thumbnails, movie/show information, and otehr advanced features. I've returned to Mac after an unfortunate sojourn in the Windows wilderness and one of the first categories of software I evaulated was video players, since I watch a lot of movies.
