<code>remote:path</code></p> <p>Paths may be as deep as required, e.g. <code>remote:directory/subdirectory</code>.</p> <h2 id="configuration">Configuration</h2> <p>The initial setup for pCloud involves getting a token from pCloud which you need to do in your browser. <code>rclone config</code> walks you through it.</p> <p>Here is an example of how to make a remote called <code>remote</code>. First run:</p> <pre><code> rclone config </code></pre> <p>This will guide you through an interactive setup process:</p> <pre tabindex="0"><code>No remotes found, make a new one? n) New remote s) Set configuration password q) Quit config n/s/q> n name> remote Type of storage to configure. Choose a number from below, or type in your own value [snip] XX / Pcloud \ "pcloud" [snip] Storage> pcloud Pcloud App Client Id - leave blank normally. client_id> Pcloud App Client Secret - leave blank normally. client_secret> Edit advanced config? y) Yes n) No (default) y/n> n Remote config Use web browser to automatically authenticate rclone with remote? * Say Y if the machine running rclone has a web browser you can use * Say N if running rclone on a (remote) machine without web browser access If not sure try Y. If Y failed, try N. y) Yes n) No y/n> y If your browser doesn't open automatically go to the following link: http://127.0.0.1:53682/auth Log in and authorize rclone for access Waiting for code... Got code Configuration complete. Options: - type: pcloud - client_id: - client_secret: - token: {"access_token":"XXX","token_type":"bearer","expiry":"0001-01-01T00:00:00Z"} Keep this "remote" remote? y) Yes this is OK e) Edit this remote d) Delete this remote y/e/d> y </code></pre><p>See the <a href="/remote_setup/">remote setup docs</a> for how to set it up on a machine with no Internet browser available.</p> <p>Note if you are using remote config with rclone authorize while your pcloud server is the EU region, you will need to set the hostname in 'Edit advanced config', otherwise you might get a token error.</p> <p>Note that rclone runs a webserver on your local machine to collect the token as returned from pCloud. This only runs from the moment it opens your browser to the moment you get back the verification code. This is on <code>http://127.0.0.1:53682/</code> and this it may require you to unblock it temporarily if you are running a host firewall.</p> <p>Once configured you can then use <code>rclone</code> like this,</p> <p>List directories in top level of your pCloud</p> <pre><code>rclone lsd remote: </code></pre> <p>List all the files in your pCloud</p> <pre><code>rclone ls remote: </code></pre> <p>To copy a local directory to a pCloud directory called backup</p> <pre><code>rclone copy /home/source remote:backup </code></pre> <h3 id="modification-times-and-hashes">Modification times and hashes</h3> <p>pCloud allows modification times to be set on objects accurate to 1 second. These will be used to detect whether objects need syncing or not. In order to set a Modification time pCloud requires the object be re-uploaded.</p> <p>pCloud supports MD5 and SHA1 hashes in the US region, and SHA1 and SHA256 hashes in the EU region, so you can use the <code>--checksum</code> flag.</p> <h3 id="restricted-filename-characters">Restricted filename characters</h3> <p>In addition to the <a href="/overview/#restricted-characters">default restricted characters set</a> the following characters are also replaced:</p> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Character</th> <th style="text-align:center">Value</th> <th style="text-align:center">Replacement</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>\</td> <td style="text-align:center">0x5C</td> <td style="text-align:center">＼</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be <a href="/overview/#invalid-utf8">replaced</a>, as they can't be used in JSON strings.</p> <h3 id="deleting-files">Deleting files</h3> <p>Deleted files will be moved to the trash. Your subscription level will determine how long items stay in the trash. <code>rclone cleanup</code> can be used to empty the trash.</p> <h3 id="emptying-the-trash">Emptying the trash</h3> <p>Due to an API limitation, the <code>rclone cleanup</code> command will only work if you set your username and password in the advanced options for this backend. Since we generally want to avoid storing user passwords in the rclone config file, we advise you to only set this up if you need the <code>rclone cleanup</code> command to work.</p> <h3 id="root-folder-id">Root folder ID</h3> <p>You can set the <code>root_folder_id</code> for rclone. This is the directory (identified by its <code>Folder ID</code>) that rclone considers to be the root of your pCloud drive.</p> <p>Normally you will leave this blank and rclone will determine the correct root to use itself.</p> <p>However you can set this to restrict rclone to a specific folder hierarchy.</p> <p>In order to do this you will have to find the <code>Folder ID</code> of the directory you wish rclone to display. This will be the <code>folder</code> field of the URL when you open the relevant folder in the pCloud web interface.</p> <p>So if the folder you want rclone to use has a URL which looks like <code>https://my.pcloud.com/#page=filemanager&folder=5xxxxxxxx8&tpl=foldergrid</code> in the browser, then you use <code>5xxxxxxxx8</code> as the <code>root_folder_id</code> in the config.</p> <h3 id="standard-options">Standard options</h3> <p>Here are the Standard options specific to pcloud (Pcloud).</p> <h4 id="pcloud-client-id">--pcloud-client-id</h4> <p>OAuth Client Id.</p> <p>Leave blank normally.</p> <p>Properties:</p> <ul> <li>Config: client_id</li> <li>Env Var: RCLONE_PCLOUD_CLIENT_ID</li> <li>Type: string</li> <li>Required: false</li> </ul> <h4 id="pcloud-client-secret">--pcloud-client-secret</h4> <p>OAuth Client Secret.</p> <p>Leave blank normally.</p> <p>Properties:</p> <ul> <li>Config: client_secret</li> <li>Env Var: RCLONE_PCLOUD_CLIENT_SECRET</li> <li>Type: string</li> <li>Required: false</li> </ul> <h3 id="advanced-options">Advanced options</h3> <p>Here are the Advanced options specific to pcloud (Pcloud).</p> <h4 id="pcloud-token">--pcloud-token</h4> <p>OAuth Access Token as a JSON blob.</p> <p>Properties:</p> <ul> <li>Config: token</li> <li>Env Var: RCLONE_PCLOUD_TOKEN</li> <li>Type: string</li> <li>Required: false</li> </ul> <h4 id="pcloud-auth-url">--pcloud-auth-url</h4> <p>Auth server URL.</p> <p>Leave blank to use the provider defaults.</p> <p>Properties:</p> <ul> <li>Config: auth_url</li> <li>Env Var: RCLONE_PCLOUD_AUTH_URL</li> <li>Type: string</li> <li>Required: false</li> </ul> <h4 id="pcloud-token-url">--pcloud-token-url</h4> <p>Token server url.</p> <p>Leave blank to use the provider defaults.</p> <p>Properties:</p> <ul> <li>Config: token_url</li> <li>Env Var: RCLONE_PCLOUD_TOKEN_URL</li> <li>Type: string</li> <li>Required: false</li> </ul> <h4 id="pcloud-client-credentials">--pcloud-client-credentials</h4> <p>Use client credentials OAuth flow.</p> <p>This will use the OAUTH2 client Credentials Flow as described in RFC 6749.</p> <p>Properties:</p> <ul> <li>Config: client_credentials</li> <li>Env Var: RCLONE_PCLOUD_CLIENT_CREDENTIALS</li> <li>Type: bool</li> <li>Default: false</li> </ul> <h4 id="pcloud-encoding">--pcloud-encoding</h4> <p>The encoding for the backend.</p> <p>See the <a href="/overview/#encoding">encoding section in the overview</a> for more info.</p> <p>Properties:</p> <ul> <li>Config: encoding</li> <li>Env Var: RCLONE_PCLOUD_ENCODING</li> <li>Type: Encoding</li> <li>Default: Slash,BackSlash,Del,Ctl,InvalidUtf8,Dot</li> </ul> <h4 id="pcloud-root-folder-id">--pcloud-root-folder-id</h4> <p>Fill in for rclone to use a non root folder as its starting point.</p> <p>Properties:</p> <ul> <li>Config: root_folder_id</li> <li>Env Var: RCLONE_PCLOUD_ROOT_FOLDER_ID</li> <li>Type: string</li> <li>Default: "d0"</li> </ul> <h4 id="pcloud-hostname">--pcloud-hostname</h4> <p>Hostname to connect to.</p> <p>This is normally set when rclone initially does the oauth connection, however you will need to set it by hand if you are using remote config with rclone authorize.</p> <p>Properties:</p> <ul> <li>Config: hostname</li> <li>Env Var: RCLONE_PCLOUD_HOSTNAME</li> <li>Type: string</li> <li>Default: "api.pcloud.com"</li> <li>Examples: <ul> <li>"api.pcloud.com" <ul> <li>Original/US region</li> </ul> </li> <li>"eapi.pcloud.com" <ul> <li>EU region</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h4 id="pcloud-username">--pcloud-username</h4> <p>Your pcloud username.</p> <p>This is only required when you want to use the cleanup command.
