Cloud storage pricing changed on Nov. 13 when pCloud launched a Black Friday promotion that replaces recurring monthly bills with a single payment for lifetime access, LavX News reported.
The Swiss company, which serves 24 million users and has offered lifetime plans for nine years, runs the discounted sale through Nov. 28.
For developers and teams maintaining apps across iOS and Android, the promotion combines cross-platform sync, backup tools, password management, and client-side encryption options. Buyers face a choice between standard recurring subscriptions and one-time purchases before the deadline on Nov. 28.
The company sells four lifetime tiers during the event. The 500 GB tier costs $159 down from its regular $279, while the 2 TB tier drops to $379 from $709. A larger 10 TB option costs $1,099 compared to the usual $2,799.
A separate 3in1 bundle costs $579 instead of $1,517. That package includes 3 TB of storage alongside lifetime access to pCloud Pass and pCloud Encryption. The entire service runs across macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Hardware savings and cross platform sync
Apple includes 5 GB of free iCloud storage and charges $9.99 a month for 2 TB through iCloud+, meaning a 2 TB lifetime plan costs less than four years of that standard subscription at the identical capacity. Developers using base-model laptops to control hardware costs can mount cloud storage directly into macOS Finder or desktop file systems to extend local capacity without paying for internal drive upgrades.
Real-time sync keeps test assets, screenshots, and shared documents available across mixed desktop and mobile environments. The 3in1 bundle adds pCloud Pass for multi-device credential management and form filling. It also includes pCloud Encryption, which secures files in a dedicated Crypto folder locally before upload.
Users migrating from other providers can import files directly from Google Photos, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Facebook. The platform also supports automated mobile camera roll backups, desktop folder protection, and NAS backups over WebDAV, Rsync, SFTP, and SCP protocols for Synology devices.
