End-to-end encryption is the separate pCloud Encryption add-on: $4.99/mo, $49.99/yr or $150 lifetime. Lifetime prices are the discounted figures shown on 4 November 2026.
pCloud pricing is the public list price as of 4 November 2026.
dosya.dev is cheaper up to 2 TB ($2.49/mo against $4.99 for 500 GB, $6.99/mo against $9.99 for 2 TB). At 10 TB pCloud is cheaper: $29.99 against $32.49/mo. Add pCloud's $4.99 Encryption add-on if you want end-to-end encryption there.
Where dosya.dev pulls ahead
End-to-end encryption included
pCloud's Crypto folder costs $4.99 a month on top of your plan, and encrypted files can only be shared on its Business plans. dosya.dev's Vault comes with every plan, Free included, and Vault Spaces can be shared with other dosya.dev accounts.
Less per month up to 2 TB
500 GB is $2.49/mo and 2 TB is $6.99/mo on dosya.dev, against $4.99 and $9.99 on pCloud, and there are more sizes between.
An S3 API, not just WebDAV
Both services support WebDAV and rclone. dosya.dev adds an S3-compatible API, so backup tools and scripts built for S3 work unchanged.
46 regions instead of two
pCloud stores data in Luxembourg or Dallas, chosen once at sign-up. Each dosya.dev workspace picks from 46 regions, and one account can hold workspaces in several.
Where pCloud is a better fit
Big storage and paying once. At 10 TB pCloud's Ultra plan costs less per month than our 10 TB plan, and its lifetime plans let you pay once instead of every month, which dosya.dev does not offer. Its share-link traffic is generous on paid plans too. If you have a lot of files and plan to stay for years, pCloud is a strong choice.

Moving from pCloud
Connect pCloud
On a paid plan, add pCloud in the cloud import in your profile and pick a destination folder.
Let our servers copy
The copy runs on our servers, so you can close the tab. Compare file counts when it finishes.
Bring Crypto files by hand
Download Crypto folder files through pCloud's app and upload them into a Vault Space.
dosya.dev vs pCloud, answered
Is dosya.dev a good pCloud alternative?
For most storage sizes, yes. Both services encrypt ordinary files at rest rather than end to end. For end-to-end encryption, pCloud charges $4.99 a month for its Encryption add-on; dosya.dev's Vault is included on every plan. dosya.dev's 500 GB is $2.49/mo against $4.99, and every plan adds an S3 API, 46 storage regions and team workspaces on every plan. pCloud is cheaper at 10 TB and sells lifetime plans.
Is pCloud end-to-end encrypted?
Not by default. Ordinary pCloud storage is encrypted in transit and on its servers, which is the same model as dosya.dev's ordinary storage. End-to-end encryption needs the paid pCloud Encryption add-on, and it only covers files you put in its Crypto folder; sharing encrypted files needs a Business plan. dosya.dev's equivalent, Vault, is included on every plan, including Free, and Vault Spaces can be shared with other dosya.dev accounts. Vault has not yet completed an independent audit.
How do dosya.dev and pCloud prices compare?
pCloud is $4.99/mo for 500 GB, $9.99/mo for 2 TB and $29.99/mo for 10 TB, with about 16% off for yearly billing. dosya.dev is $2.49/mo for 500 GB, $6.99/mo for 2 TB and $32.49/mo for 10 TB. So dosya.dev is cheaper up to 2 TB and pCloud is cheaper at 10 TB. Adding end-to-end encryption costs $4.99/mo more on pCloud and nothing on dosya.dev.
Can I move my files from pCloud to dosya.dev?
Yes. On a paid dosya.dev plan, connect the account from the cloud import in your profile and our servers copy the files across, so you can close the page while it runs. Files in pCloud's Crypto folder are encrypted by pCloud's own client, so download those through pCloud's app and upload them into a Vault Space yourself.
Should I buy a pCloud lifetime plan instead?
If you are confident you will want the same amount of storage from the same provider for many years, a lifetime plan can pay off: pCloud's 2 TB lifetime price equals about four years of its yearly plan. dosya.dev only sells monthly and yearly plans, so you can change size or leave at any time.
Can I choose where my files are stored?
pCloud offers two regions, the EU (Luxembourg) and the US (Dallas), chosen at sign-up; moving later is a paid one-off. Each dosya.dev workspace picks from 46 regions on 6 continents, and you can create workspaces in different regions on the same account.
