Will pCloud delete my files?

Answered by James Kissner

If you decide not to verify your Basic account, pCloud will close your account and schedule your files for deletion. This means that you will no longer have access to your files and they will be permanently removed from the pCloud servers.

It is important to note that this policy applies only to Basic accounts and does not apply to paid customers and pCloud Lifetime members. If you have a paid account or a Lifetime membership, your files will not be deleted even if you choose not to verify your account.

Verifying your account is a crucial step in ensuring the security and integrity of your files. By verifying your account, you confirm your identity and provide an additional layer of protection to your data. This helps pCloud maintain a secure environment for its users and prevents unauthorized access to your files.

PCloud offers a range of apps and services that allow you to access and manage your files from various devices and platforms. While using the pCloud apps is not mandatory, it provides a convenient and seamless experience for accessing your files on the go.

If you choose not to install any of pCloud’s apps, you can still use the service through the web interface. The web interface allows you to upload, download, and manage your files directly from your browser. However, using the pCloud apps offers additional features such as automatic synchronization, offline access, and easy file sharing.

If you decide not to verify your Basic account, pCloud will close your account and delete your files. Verifying your account is important for maintaining the security of your data. While using the pCloud apps is not mandatory, they offer a convenient way to access and manage your files.
