The Building Blocks of pCloud Encryption

Client-side encryption

With client-side encryption your sensitive files are locked right on your device. Even if your laptop or phone gets stolen, your data will stay hidden.

Zero-knowledge privacy

Applying zero-knowledge privacy means that neither we, as a service provider, nor any authority or service, will ever have access to your files.

Multi-layer protection

Our encryption algorithms include a number of protection layers and keys. Additionally, the user locks their files with a Pass, making them invisible to others.

Ease of Use

pCloud Encryption is in its essence an encrypted folder on your system. To encrypt your files you just need to place them in this protected folder. We have made military-grade file security so easy and intuitive that you don't need to be an expert in order to start encrypting your files.

Accessibility on Any Device
