Sync pCloud to Google Drive — Cloud Backup with RcloneView

· 3 min read

Keep a second copy of your pCloud files in Google Drive with a cloud-to-cloud sync job you can preview, run, and schedule from one window.

Relying on a single cloud for important files leaves you exposed to account lockouts, accidental deletions, and sync mistakes. Mirroring pCloud into Google Drive gives you an independent copy on a different provider. RcloneView connects both services through OAuth, then syncs data between them as a job. RcloneView mounts AND syncs 90+ providers from one window, on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Connect pCloud and Google Drive​

Both providers use browser-based OAuth login. In RcloneView, open the new remote dialog, choose pCloud, and sign in when your browser opens. Repeat for Google Drive. Once authorized, each remote appears in the Remote Manager and in the Explorer, where you can browse folders side by side in a two-pane layout.

Inspect Before You Sync​

Imagine a freelance designer with a 300 GB pCloud project archive who wants a Drive mirror. Before touching anything, use Folder Compare on the two folders. It shows which files exist only on one side, which differ, and which match, so you know exactly what a first sync will do.

Create the Sync Job​

The sync wizard has four steps: pick source and destination, tune advanced settings, set filters, and optionally schedule. Choose pCloud as source and Google Drive as destination with the one-way option, which modifies the destination only. Use filters to skip temporary files or limit file size, and run a Dry Run to see the list of files that would be copied or deleted. Because one-way sync makes the destination match the source, always check the Dry Run output for unexpected deletions.

Monitor and Schedule​

Run the job and watch transfer progress live, then review results in Job History. With a PLUS license, add a crontab-style schedule so the mirror refreshes on a recurring basis (RcloneView stays running in the System Tray).

A verified second copy on another provider turns a single point of failure into a real backup.
