FAQ
Can I use my files offline with pCloud?
Yes, you can. This is done by making files within pCloud storage available for offline access in pCloud's mobile app or syncing folders with pCloud Drive's desktop app.
Can I sync data from an external HDD onto pCloud Drive?
This isn't recommended as Cloud Drive can be severely damaged if it loses connection with an external HDD, and cause you to lose valuable data in the process.
pCloud suggests on its website that you copy data from your external HDD onto pCloud Drive, while making sure the connection doesn't abruptly disengage.
Does pCloud scan my files for "objectionable" content?
It can scan files within its standard, non-encrypted folders for "objectionable" content that may not comply with pCloud's legal requirements and terms of service.
Although if you store files in the pCloud Crypto folder, which utilizes end-to-end encryption (from the client's side), they can only be scanned or accessed by you and no one else.
When does Black Friday start?
Black Friday, the world's annual shopping spree event where retailers host the biggest discounts on electronics, toys, and other goods, is set to start on November 28, 2025.
It will then last until it is replaced by Cyber Monday on December 1, 2025.
