pCloud Overview#

The pCloud API allows for direct interaction with your pCloud account, providing access to files and folders within your cloud storage. With Pipedream, you can automate file management tasks such as uploading, downloading, and synchronizing files. Additionally, you can create workflows to organize your cloud storage, share files with team members, or back up important data from various sources.
