Transfer Files from pCloud to Dropbox Business

Cloud services are becoming increasingly popular for their numerous advantages. Cloud services are beneficial to individuals and businesses in some way or another. Personal users are able to store their photos and files online, and share them with their friends. Businesses can store large amounts of data at a reasonable cost. Employees can work in a team in real time, and benefit from file versioning and other similar features.

Why Do Some Businesses Switch From pCloud to Dropbox Business?

pCloud is a Swiss-based service. Its major selling point is customer’s privacy. pCloud gives emphasis on privacy and security by offering end-to-end encryption and other privacy-friendly features. You can store your files in a Crypto folder where your files are encrypted from the client-side. If something goes wrong while you’re editing your files, you can still use the versioning feature to get the original file version back.

Some businesses may not need all of these features. Some businesses prioritize file collaboration and team working over extended security. If your business is one of them, Dropbox Business can be a great alternative.

Dropbox Business makes team collaboration easier by giving file sharing permission features. If you’re using Microsoft Office or Google Workspace, you can create and edit documents, presentations, worksheets, or share them easily. The platform offers native support for Microsoft’s productivity suite.

But this isn’t to say that Dropbox Business doesn’t have advanced security features. You get some security features such as Single Sign-On, 2FA and file sharing permissions. Moreover, Dropbox is the oldest cloud storage service, which is known for its security and reliability.
