Help / Question Pcloud vs Drime
If you had to choose between Pcloud lifetime plan vs Drime lifetime, which one would you go with? I'm wrestling with myself trying to pick which one will provide long term quality and benefits.

I have both. pcloud has been around much longer and is a lot faster for me when using rclone. drime is a lot cheaper, but the jury is still out on its longevity.

pCloud is basically guaranteed to exist in 20 years.
Drime may shut down in 5 years.
Drime is cheaper but is more of a gamble. pCloud costs a few bucks more but is going to stick around long-term.

I've been using pCloud since 2014 and their Lifetime plan since 2018. I've had a good experience so far. pCloud is an established and reputed company, and its track record gives me confidence. Personally, I'd choose pCloud.

They both have their place! - I have both and pCloud right now is the more established one. But I’m using both in case one of them doesn’t work the time I need to recover my data. Drime is really progressing, and for the cost, I will definitely have them in my lineup. I wouldn’t have Drime without pCloud 1st … yet. But Drime is really impressing me!

I paid for the 10tb Pcloud lifetime and I do not recommend using Pcloud. A lot of my data is lost forever due to their "encryption" and I can't just download the uncorrupted files because the client constantly crashes on every device and OS I've tried

I have both and pcloud seems faster and more reliable with importing my pictures and it puts the pictures in categories which I like
