feature

1. The biggest feature is the one-time payment (cutting meat) for permanent use, unlike od-e5 , which needs to be operated and sighed (if it is bought at regular price, the price will explode), gd-ws even in the soil area costs $ 77.4 per year ( 20221013 data) . Of course, you know this kind of thing forever. Personally, I think it’s quite worth it, at least you don’t need to be paid for by data kidnapping.

2 , the official native support for webdav , the default is based on https , you can log in directly with the account password. It can cooperate with Sharelist , filebox , nplayer , etc. through webdav . The domain name is webdav.pcloud.com . But it seems that there is a current limit control of IP or number of connections, and sometimes an error is reported.

3. Like many large foreign manufacturers’ network disks, it natively supports Api operations, and its supporters include nplayer , filebox , rclone series, etc. Of course, the audience is still worse than that of online disk giants such as od , gd , and db . Unlike domestic network disks that like not to open APIs .

4. All services have not been blocked by gfw at present , and the direct connection can be used normally except for the slow speed, which is better than overseas network disks such as google and dropbox . Of course, after all, it is not a big business, and the network bandwidth is still relatively general, just at an ordinary level, but there are no restrictions on third-party downloaders. Of course, folder package download is also supported.

5. Support static direct chain website hosting, but does not support custom domain name access. You can host html static websites, or you can put file directories, video pictures, and external links.

6. Although the 2T version has a monthly traffic limit (it is also 2T , and can be purchased additionally) (the same is true for other versions), it is only limited to sharing and external links. Using the official website, app and api does not consume traffic, and webdav does not seem to consume it.

7. Support subsequent additional subscription space and traffic, and different accounts support direct sharing of folders

8. Automatic auxiliary transcoding, you can download the transcoded video in the web version

Use experience evaluation in different environments

(Official app and web pages are much faster than third-party apps )

Nplayer (Android -Api ), I downloaded the cracked version of Nplayer . Anyway, there is no response after logging in. I don’t know why it is a version problem. The email prompts me to log in, but the App does not jump.

Nplayer (Android -webdav ) is used normally, and functions such as double-speed drag are normal. Very few video drag slices are unstable.

Nplayer ( iOS-Api and webdav ) works normally, very few videos can be dragged and not played sequentially.

Filebox ( iOS ) works fine. Some video progress bar slices have problems.

The official app (Android) is used normally, but the control toolbar is not well designed, so it is not suitable for dragging and fast forwarding, but the overall response speed is fast, and the maximum speed is double

The official app ( iOS ) can be used normally, but only supports the default player of iOS and does not support double speed.

Sharelist web version ( webdav mount, no traffic transfer) video can not be played normally (may be authorized current limit)

Sharelist web version ( webdav mount, open traffic transfer) video playback normally

Nplayer+Sharelist (dual webdav mount, no traffic transfer) Android is no different, iOS video cannot be played normally

Nplayer+Sharelist (dual webdav mount, open traffic transfer) Android is no different, iOS video playback is normal

The official mobile web version (Android Chrome ) is completely normal, and the size is the same as the website’s own player, which supports 2x speed.

The official mobile web version ( iOS Chrome ) defaults to the website’s built-in player, and zooms to the iOS built-in player, supports 2x speed, and retains the double speed after zooming in. Using Alook browser’s super decode multiple times normal.

The computer web version of the official website ( iPad OS Chrome ) defaults to the built-in player on the website, and the built-in player for iOS supports 2x speed when zoomed in. Both voting and floating windows are supported.

The web version of Webdav ( iPad OS Chrome ) uses the iOS built-in player, but directly supports double speed, which can be 2 times faster. Screencasting is supported.
