The record

Product: PigCloud is end-to-end encrypted cloud storage with a web interface, command-line tool, web terminal, and desktop app.
Encryption: Files are encrypted on the user's device before upload, and PigCloud says its server stores only ciphertext it cannot decrypt.
Encrypted names: File and folder names are end-to-end encrypted so the server cannot read them.
Sharing: Users can share folders or create public links with passwords, expiration dates, download limits, and QR codes.
File previews: PigCloud says more than 250 file formats can be previewed in the browser, with many also editable there.
Versions: File edits and re-uploads snapshot previous states, and the compare view shows word-level diffs and can restore versions.
Integrations: PigCloud supports Google and GitHub OAuth sign-in and says it uses Stripe for payment processing.
API: The API is in beta, uses an API key, and provides a single CLI-compatible endpoint subject to a 60-request-per-minute limit.
Security: PigCloud describes a hybrid post-quantum scheme combining X25519 with ML-KEM-768 for key exchange and Ed25519 with ML-DSA-44 for file integrity signatures.
Data residency: PigCloud says production file storage is on dedicated servers in Falkenstein, Germany, and that it is GDPR compliant.
Security limits: PigCloud says it has not yet undergone a third-party penetration test or formal cryptography review and is not yet SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified.
File size limit: Individual files can be up to 5 GB.
Support and recovery: PigCloud says files cannot be recovered if the user loses both their password and recovery key, including by PigTech support.
Mobile: The native Android and iOS apps are in development with no release date stated; the responsive web app works on phones.
