Comparison
pCloud sells you space, then charges extra to encrypt it. Drime is a European cloud where the work happens too: office suite, eSignatures, notes and a zero-knowledge Vault included, from €2.99 a month.
20 GB free forever • Hosted in Europe • GDPR compliant
Encryption is not an upsell
The zero-knowledge Vault is in every Drime plan. On pCloud, client-side encryption is a paid add-on.
French, hosted in the EU
Drime is a French company hosting in certified EU data centres, under GDPR. pCloud is Swiss, outside the EU framework.
A workspace, not a hard drive
Open, edit, sign and review your files where they live, instead of downloading them to work elsewhere.

Not on a spec sheet. On a normal working day, when the file has to be opened, corrected, approved and sent.
A terabyte costs almost nothing today. What costs you is downloading a file to edit it, opening another tool to sign it, and a third one to send it. Drime keeps all of that in one place, so storage stops being the end of the story.
Encryption included, not invoiced
Every Drime plan includes a zero-knowledge Vault, with keys derived on your device. On pCloud, client-side encryption is sold separately, so privacy becomes a line on the invoice.
More space, and the tools with it
At pCloud, €9.99 a month buys 2 TB of storage. At Drime, €10.99 buys 3 TB plus the office suite, eSignatures, notes, review tools and a zero-knowledge Vault, with no add-on to buy.
Start with 20 GB free, import a folder and see what you stop paying for elsewhere.
Can I move my files from pCloud to Drime?
Yes. Drag and drop your folders, or use the desktop app to sync a pCloud folder into Drime. Your structure is preserved.
