Another pCloud user here - though I have nothing to add to what's already been said: The virtue is in the service itself, not the site or online presentation. Another service I'm paid up with is MEGA - and because they are good at online presentation as well, I mainly use it to store my exported JPEGs; it's kind of a personal album containing several thousand images. However, everything's also sync'ed and backed up on pCloud. MEGA offers quite a nice entry level subscription (Pro Lite) that gets you 400GB of storage space and 1TB of traffic for $5 - plenty for daily use. It's just a storage service, too - no fancy stuff that can go haywire or be changed/removed later (see below).
Anyhow, today, the cloud's everywhere. I have my personal NextCloud service (with dedicated storage that resides on my web server) and use a variety of other services. NextCloud will be build up as another complete backup online - but I have to look into its prowess as a daily driver before considering it for more than that.
Anyhow, Box came first for me, and I've loved their free service for many years, but now it's on its way out due to recent new and undocumented(!) restrictions concerning file types (.txt, .pages - and probably others, I'm not keen on finding further issues ...); I've already backed up everything I can and will finally move all my personal files for daily use to pCloud as well over the summer - since it's quite a bit of stuff that's accumulated over the years, including some that only Box can display (see below), I have to do so in a very controlled fashion, establishing a new storage structure in the process. Dull, tedious work - but it's necessary, unfortunately, because losing access to files due to some random policy changes isn't okay by me.
Many services have their really useful aspects. Box offers Notes and Canvas, so is actually quite a nice self contained, free collaboration suite - it's what I'll still use it for going forward (and they're probably not going to kill their own assets - though such things have happened before). Dropbox offers Paper, the most comprehensive shared writing system (Markdown based) I'm aware of online, and I use it to, well, write; it's become even more important since my dedicated authoring system online ceased to exist because the single developer had to move on to other things in life. While there are alternatives to Paper, none come with the added security and storage that Dropbox provides.
However, both Box and Dropbox want too much money for their paid storage services in my opinion - they're simply not good enough for the money they demand. I'll continue to use Dropbox because our street band uses it, Google Drive because our orchestra uses it, and my Android phones and tablet demand a Gmail account to be used, so there's Google drive and all the Google apps, OneDrive is deployed at school, and while I use iCloud as little as I can get away with, you can't really avoid it when you're using an iPad. It's quite a bit of a mess, really. pCloud's sync feature allows me to keep at least a backup of everything in one place online, but I still have to dig through different folders to find stuff. Sync'ing everything to the same folder structure increases the risk of losing everything if one service fails, so at least some separation is advised.
Anyway, back to images. I think pCloud's business model (one-time payment, nice packages) is best, but solid, simple, inexpensive places like MEGA (that also offers very good encryption and security) are also great. The rest, well ...
