Migrate PikPak to pCloud — Transfer Files with RcloneView

· 3 min read

Move your PikPak library into pCloud directly between the two clouds, with a preview first and a verification pass at the end.

PikPak often ends up as a landing zone for saved downloads and media, and at some point that pile needs a long-term home. Downloading it all to a laptop and uploading it again to pCloud is slow and fragile. RcloneView connects both services in one window and transfers between them directly, with jobs you can preview, repeat, and review in history.

Free core features. Plus automations available.

Add PikPak and pCloud as Remotes​

Open New Remote and add PikPak first, then pCloud. pCloud uses OAuth: your browser opens, you sign in, and the remote connects without any API key. Give each remote a clear name such as pikpak-source and pcloud-dest so job lists stay readable later.

Adding PikPak and pCloud remotes in RcloneView

Once both remotes are saved, open each in an Explorer panel. Browsing the source and destination side by side lets you confirm you are looking at the right accounts before anything moves.

Copy Between the Clouds​

Drag a folder from the PikPak panel onto the pCloud panel. Dragging between different remotes performs a copy, so the originals stay in PikPak until you decide to remove them. For a large library, a saved Copy job is better than dragging: it can be rerun if the connection drops.

Cloud-to-cloud transfer from PikPak to pCloud

RcloneView manages 90+ cloud storage services from one window on Windows, macOS, and Linux, so the same tool covers this migration and whatever you connect next.

Preview with Dry Run​

Create the job from the Sync or Job Manager wizard, choose your source and destination folders, and run Dry Run before the real transfer. It lists the files that would be copied, which catches a mistaken folder at no cost. If you need fewer files moved, use the filtering step: set a max file size or exclude file types you do not want in pCloud.

Running a copy job in RcloneView

When the preview looks right, run the job and follow speed and progress in the Transferring tab. Lower the number of file transfers if PikPak starts slowing responses.

Verify with Folder Compare​

After the job finishes, open Compare with PikPak on the left and pCloud on the right. Filter for left-only files to see anything that did not arrive, then copy those across. Job History keeps the status, size, and file count of each run as a record.

Getting Started​

  1. Download RcloneView from rcloneview.com.
  2. Add PikPak and pCloud from New Remote.
  3. Create a Copy job from PikPak to pCloud and run Dry Run.
  4. Run the job, then verify with Compare before deleting anything at the source.

A migration you can preview and verify is one you can trust to finish cleanly.
