r/pcloud

So I've been using PCloud (2TB) for a year or so. Yesterday I got an error message saying my storage was full, even though I was only using about 300GB. I updated PCloud, didn't get the error again, so assumed it was fine.

Well today I was on my PC, minimized to my desktop, and it was full of old deleted files. Not just from my PC, but from my dad's too (I let him use my PCloud subscription). It was also missing a few files. Then I check my other folders and sure enough a bunch of them are reverted to how they were months ago.

Checking online, both the old and the missing files were stored on PCloud, at least for the desktop.

I know there is a rewind feature, but that only seems to be online where I would have to manually download everything again and compare what is/is not on my desktop already. Hours upon hours of work.

Anyone have a solution to revert everything directly on my PC? And how to prevent this from happening again? I've already turned off sync for now.

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of buying a 500GB Lifetime plan. I only want to use it as a personal, private drive.

I will NOT be sharing any files or generating any public links.

My files will consist of:

- Self-made videos and audio for my YouTube channel (no copyright material).

- Text files, standard zip files, and images/screenshots of coding/software interfaces (strictly image files, no actual executables or .exe files).

Since everything will be strictly private and I won't host any active program files, is my account safe from sudden termination?

Thanks for any advice!

Paid lifetime license.

Apple M5

IOS 26.6.1

After a few tens of seconds, pCloud freezes completely.

Pcloud on Mac is bugged as fuck.

I’ve been in contact with customer support for months now trying to resolve the issue, but calling that outfit "support" is being generous, they are truly embarrassing.

They keep asking the same questions that have already been answered, they don't know what to do, and the only thing they can say is "wait."

I tried performing a clean install of various versions, even going up to 4.0, but it doesn't work.

I tried uninstalling and completely reinstalling MacFUSE with no success.

I tried all the different methods mentioned in the discussions I found, but to no avail.

When explaining the issues to support, I even tried the 4.2 preview version, which they claimed would fix everything, but absolutely nothing changed.

Naturally, no form of refund for a non functional product is provided for...

Any advice?

Thank you for creating such a wonderful service. I use it as a big fan every day.

I have a request.

Would it be possible to display thumbnails for PDF files? I understand thumbnails aren’t shown in the “crypto folder” because it’s likely technically difficult, but for regular folders, having thumbnails would make things much easier to navigate, so I would really appreciate it if this could be implemented.

In addition to the current PDF viewing method, it would be wonderful to also have a feature that lets you read PDFs like an e-book, with a fixed screen and horizontal swiping between pages.

I know this is asking a lot, but I would be delighted if you could meet your fans’ expectations.

Hi all, relatively new to this whole cloud thing.

Can I store my games from GoG in my own online pCloud environment without being at risk of my purchase being canceled? It'd be a real bummer if I couldn't back up my own gamefiles this way.

Follow up question, what about other gamefiles that I have acquired legitimately?

I started an upload of about 35,000 video files, a couple of terabytes worth. My upload speed was slow at about 32 Mbps. The 3.0 ethernet cable from the Seagate Backup Plus drive was going to a 3.0 ethernet switch and the switch was plugged into my pc's 3.0 ethernet port. I thought I'd try plugging the drive cable directly into my pc to see if the speed increased. So, after about 6,000 vids had uploaded, I cancelled the upload, moved the cables and reattempted the upload, thinking I could set the upload so that only those folders and files that had not uploaded yet would be identified for upload. PCloud recognized the same-named folders and a message popped up that gave me three choices, Replace, Duplicate or Skip with a Apply for All box to check. I wanted to try Skip but it would be unrealistic to compare the thousands of files already uploaded with those not yet uploaded and manually mark for skip only those files that had already uploaded. The only remaining choice that made any possible sense was Replace but unfortunately, the upload simply started over again, "replacing" what it had already uploaded first and then proceeding with the remaining files. Ugh/Sigh. Is there any way to have PCloud act like Windows does when it recognizes some of the files to be pasted are duplicates and gives the user a choice of skipping the duplicates but also proceed to paste the remaining, non-duplicate files to the destination? By the way, the upload speed did increase to about 50-100 Mbps, however, I cannot confirm if it was because of the cable reroute or the internet and/or PCloud opened up. Thanks!

So I’m not by a computer to test and will not for a few days. Can pCloud access the crypto folder with rclone? I was able to do it with non-crypto stuff and was thinking on retooling my disaster recovery process.

Thanks!

When I logged in today, I received a message saying I needed to upgrade my plan (currently 500GB annual), showing I had filled up my allocation and could no longer sync or upload new files, as I currently had over 42TB uploaded! This came as a shock, as I could also see the correct figure was 144GB used (well within the allocated amount). A restart fixed it (I'm on a Mac), but I wondered what could have caused that so I can avoid it in the future. Weird.

Also annoyed by these flashy promotions when you start up your computer? The (Windows) app won't help, but you can disable them by going to my.pcloud.com > 'My Profile' > 'Settings' > 'Notifications'.
