Apple users juggling growing photo libraries and project files can skip another monthly subscription thanks to pCloud's 4th of July promotion. The Swiss cloud storage service is offering Individual Lifetime plans with up to 70% off, covering storage capacity from 1 TB to 10 TB. Best of all, each plan includes pCloud Encryption for free for life.

Pricing starts at $199 for 1 TB (down from $664), with the 10 TB option at $890 instead of $2,119. This approach eliminates recurring fees that drain wallets while providing secure file access across macOS, iOS, Windows, Linux, and Android devices. Unlike typical cloud services, pCloud's zero-knowledge encryption ensures only you hold the decryption key.

The service integrates directly into Apple workflows through pCloud Drive, which appears as a dedicated cloud drive on Mac. Automatic photo uploads free up iPhone storage, while the mobile apps keep files accessible without consuming device space. Built-in backup protection covers documents and media, and sharing tools let users send large files without email attachments.

Real-time collaboration through pDocs and an integrated media player for streaming audio and video make pCloud a compelling alternative to subscription-based competitors. The promotion runs through July 8, giving users a chance to lock in permanent storage before subscription costs rise again.
