The Back up feature in pCloud Drive allows you to automatically save selected folders from your computer to your pCloud account.
All changes made to these folders are synced in real time, ensuring your files are always up to date.
How Back up works
- Files added or modified in your selected folders are automatically updated in pCloud.
- If you delete a file from a backed-up folder, it will also be removed from your device.
- Deleted files are moved to the Trash in your pCloud account, where they can be restored if needed.
