Storage has quietly become one of the worst deals in consumer tech right now. The RAM shortage rippling through the supply chain is pushing storage costs up across the board, which makes this 4th of July deal from pCloud worth paying attention to.
Through July 8, pCloud is offering its lifetime cloud storage plans at record low prices, with zero-knowledge encryption thrown in for free. The 1TB individual plan drops to $199 (down from $664), the 2TB plan hits $299 (down from $828), and if you actually need serious storage, the 10TB plan comes in at $890 instead of $2,119 (our favorite). These are one-time payments, no subscriptions, no recurring fees and no price hikes next year.

Here’s a number that puts things in perspective: the Samsung T7 Portable SSD, one of the most popular 1TB external drives on Amazon, is currently on sale for $219, up from $75 last year. That’s a physical drive you can lose, drop, or have fail on you after a few years. pCloud’s 1TB lifetime plan is $199, costs less, lives in the cloud, syncs across all your devices automatically and comes with zero-knowledge encryption included.
