Engine by engine
Google Drive vs pCloud: what the data says
When buyers ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini to recommend cloud storage, Google Drive is recommended more often than pCloud — scoring 73/100 for AI visibility versus 19/100. Google Drive shows up in 80% of AI answers to real buyer questions; pCloud shows up in 30%.
The gap is widest on Gemini, where Google Drive is clearly favoured: Google Drive is recommended 80% of the time and pCloud 20%. Because each engine draws on different sources, a brand can lead on one and trail on another — which is why it pays to track all three rather than assume one result holds everywhere.
In practice, an AI assistant asked “What is the best cloud storage for team collaboration?” is far likely to put Google Drive on its shortlist. pCloud is largely invisible in AI answers for cloud storage — and since these shortlists are increasingly where buying decisions start, that's a gap worth closing.
