pCloud file manager
inside a multi-cloud workspace
Connect pCloud with OAuth and transfer selected folders between pCloud, local drives, object storage, SFTP, WebDAV, Synology, Dropbox, and OneDrive.
pCloud workflows often end at pCloud
The pCloud app is useful for sync and storage, but teams still need selective handoffs to servers, object stores, or local archives without manually downloading and re-uploading files.
Manage pCloud beside your other storage
CloudPairs opens pCloud in a pane like any other source. Queue transfers, track failures, and use automation when you need repeatable movement between pCloud and another endpoint.
Why CloudPairs for pCloud
pCloud in either pane
Open pCloud beside a local folder or another supported connection, then compare paths before moving files.
Queue-based transfers
Uploads, downloads, folders, and cross-pane copies run through a visible queue with progress, speed, retry, and failure states.
Bulk file operations
Use multi-select, drag and drop, context menus, rename, delete, refresh, new folder, and copy-to-opposite-pane actions where the provider supports them.
Automation-ready
Create scheduled sync tasks with interval, daily, or cron timing, conflict rules, file filters, run history, and retry controls.
Usage visibility
Review transfer history in the audit log and monitor CPU, RAM, network I/O, and transfer activity from the performance dashboard.
Local credential storage
Secrets are stored through the operating system credential store where supported; provider credentials are not needed by the public website to run desktop transfers.
Plan the pCloud workflow
Follow the provider-specific connection steps and prerequisites.

Common pCloud fixes
OAuth does not return
Complete the browser authorization and return to CloudPairs. Retry if the browser session was blocked.
Unexpected account
Confirm the pCloud account signed into the browser is the one you intended to connect.
Large folder retries
Use the transfer drawer to retry failed files and tune concurrency for large jobs.
CloudPairs vs alternatives
| Alternative | Limitation |
|---|---|
| Browser dashboards | Good for account administration, but slow for side-by-side file comparison and repeated transfer work. |
| Command-line tools | Powerful for scripted jobs, but harder to audit visually and less approachable for everyday file operations. |
| Single-provider sync apps | Useful for mirroring one account, but not designed for selective transfers across several providers. |
