pCloud works as a backup destination through its automatic upload and account-history features, rather than a dedicated backup agent. Premium and Business plans add pCloud Rewind, which lets you restore your whole account to a point in time up to 30 (Premium) or 365 (Business) days back.
- Auto Upload backs up photos and videos from a phone's camera roll, or from chosen computer folders, as soon as they're added
- File versioning keeps prior revisions of a file so an overwritten or corrupted edit can be rolled back
- pCloud Rewind restores the entire account to an earlier point in time, not just a single file
- One-time or scheduled backup from Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Facebook, and Instagram accounts into pCloud
- pCloud Crypto (a paid add-on) client-side encrypts a dedicated folder so its contents can't be read on pCloud's servers
