Features and Highlights
Search
A search field is available at the top part of the web interface and mobile applications. Simply enter the name of the file or folder you are looking for, and it will be found in an instant.
Filter
You can filter your files by their file format. The filters are the quick search icons in the left-hand side menu (for web and mobile): Documents, Images, Audio, Video, and Archives. Clicking on them opens a list of your filtered files.
Trash
The files you have deleted from your account will stay in your Trash folder for a specific number of days, depending on the plan you are using. For Free plans, this period is 15 days. Premium/Premium Plus/Lifetime users get 30 days. Naturally, you can empty your Trash folder any time you like.
Invite to Folder
By the pCloud special Invite to Folder feature, you can share folders with your friends, family, and colleagues and set whether they can View or Edit content. Once users accept your invitation, they can use your files according to the permissions you have given them. You can manage your existing shares through the web platform or any of pCloud's applications. You can suspend such a folder collaboration or modify its permissions any time you like.
Download and Upload Links
Through it, you can generate download and upload links, which you can provide to anyone. By generating Download Links, users can easily download your data to their computers or mobile devices. By providing an Upload Link, your friends can upload files directly to your account.
Direct links
The Public Folder is a special folder in your pCloud's file structure, which allows you to create Direct links to files and folders. Use your pCloud as a hosting service to create static HTML websites, embed images, or simply share your files the way you want. All the files you place in the Public Folder will be accessible in an index directory.
Security
To guarantee your files' safety, pCloud uses TLS/SSL encryption, applied when information is transferred from your device to the pCloud servers. "At pCloud data security is a top priority and we do best to apply first-class safety measures. With pCloud, your files are stored on at least three server locations in a highly secure data storage area. Optionally, you can subscribe to pCloud Crypto and have your most important files encrypted and password protected. We provide the so-called client-side encryption, which, unlike server-side encryption, means that no one, except you, will, have the keys for file decryption".
Revisions
Using this feature, you can keep an eye on the changes made to specific files and restore previous versions, if necessary. You can access File Revisions by clicking the gear button and choosing the Revisions option. File versions are kept for 15 days for Free and 30 days for Premium/Premium Plus/Lifetime users.

Browse through your account at a specific time and date in the past and restore or download all of your non-encrypted files or accidentally removed shared content.
Extended File History
It keeps older versions and deleted files for up to 30 days in the past. With the Extended File History (EFH) add-on, you can extend this period and recover content within a month or a year* from deleting or changing your files.
