User Case

If you take advantage of pCloud File Request, everyone can upload files to your request folder without a pCloud. However, this file request link is just for uploading files. Others cannot download files in this shared folder. Luckily, there is a workaround that can let others upload and download files without an account – using MultCloud Share. More details can be seen in the following parts.

Do I Need a pCloud Account to Join a Shared Folder?

According to pCloud’s official explanation, when you want to join a shared folder, you need to have a pCloud account. If you do not have an account, you can view and download files from the shared folder, but cannot collaborate with this shared folder.

When you receive a shared link with the upload permission, you also need a pCloud account to upload files to this folder. If you do not want to have a pCloud account but need to upload files to a shared folder, then ask the sender to create a file request link.

A File Request link is used to collect files with non-pCloud users and makes pCloud upload without account possible. You can track the file uploading status like how many files have been uploaded. However, when others receive the link, they cannot view or download the files in this shared folder, and cannot know who upload files to this folder. They can only upload files to the file request folder and enter their name to show who they are.

How to Make pCloud Upload Without Account – 2 Ways

From the previous 2 parts, you may know you can use pCloud File Request and MultCloud Share to let others upload files to your pCloud with accounts. In this part, specific steps will be given and you can choose a preferred way to try.

Way 1. pCloud Upload Without Account via MultCloud Share

MultCloud is a cloud management service that supports 30+ clouds including pCloud. MultCloud Share is one of its robust features which allows you to share files and folders in pCloud and let others download and upload without a pCloud account.

Step 1. Create a MultCloud account on its website.

Step 2. Click "Add Cloud" and the pCloud logo. Then, log in to your pCloud account in the pop-up window and let MultCloud access your files.

Step 3. Open pCloud on MultCloud and choose the folder you want to use for file collection.

Step 4. Select "Share" and "Share with MultCloud". Then, choose a share mode you like. If you want to add a password to your shared folder, Private Share is recommended.

Step 5. Copy the shared link and send it to others. Then, go to the Shares section on MultCloud, find the shared folder, and toggle the "Allow to Upload" button next to it.

When others receive your link, they can paste it into any web browser’s search bar to enter the shared folder. Then, they can click "Upload File" to upload files to your pCloud folder without accounts.

Way 2. pCloud Upload Without Account via File Request

It is also free to use the pCloud file request feature and the steps are shown below:

Step 1. Go to the pCloud website and log in to your account.

Step 2. Select the folder you want to share and click the "Request files" button in the upper bar.

Step 3. Set the shared folder with "Message", "Upload limit', and "Expiration Date". Then, copy the link and share it with others.

• Message: Leave a message about your requests for files you want to collect from others.
• Upload limit: Restrict how many files can each user upload to this folder.
• Expiration date: Set an expiration date for this folder. When the time passed, others could not upload files to the folder.

When others receive your file request link and open it, they can click "Click Here to Add Files" to upload files to your folder and give their names to show whose files.

Bonus Tip: How to Automatically Link pCloud Accounts

Apart from the share function to make pCloud upload without account, MultCloud also gives more functions to help you deal with different cloud problems. For example, if you have other cloud storage accounts like Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, iCloud Drive, MEGA, or Icedrive, you can directly transfer, sync, or backup files between your pCloud account and them. Without manual downloading and uploading, the transfer process can be easy and quick.

Besides, after adding multiple cloud accounts to MultCloud, you can manage all your cloud files on one website with one login. It will be much simpler to find your scattered cloud files and share them with others.

Let’s take a look at how to use MultCloud Cloud Sync to create pCloud linked accounts.

Step 1. Get a MultCloud account and add the pCloud accounts to it.

Step 2. Select "Cloud Sync" in the left sidebar and choose the source and target account.

Step 3. Toggle the button to "Real Time Sync" and tap "Sync Now" to start the task.

Real Time Sync helps sync files from one pCloud account to another in rea-time. Any modification created on the source account files will be immediately synced to the target account.
