How to fix pCloud not working
pCloud is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach pcloud.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Sign out and back in
Quit the client from the tray icon on Windows or the menu bar icon on macOS instead of closing the window. Reopen it and sign in again, since an expired session leaves the drive mounted while transfers sit still. Have your two-factor code ready.
Unstick a frozen sync
Open the client settings, find the Sync tab, and pause the folder pair, then resume it. A single file stuck mid-transfer blocks everything queued behind it, so rename that file and let it upload under the new name. If the queue stays full, remove the folder pair and add it back.
Remount the drive
The desktop app shows up as a drive letter in File Explorer on Windows and as a volume in Finder on macOS. If that letter or volume disappears while the app still runs, quit the app and launch it again. A VPN can take the mount with it, so switch it off and retest.
Reinstall the desktop app
Uninstall the client, restart the computer, then install the current version from the official download page. Sync pairs do not survive that, so add each folder again once you sign in. Trouble on one machine will not move the report counter at the top of this page, and account questions belong with the help centre: https://www.pcloud.com/help/
While pCloud is down: what to use instead
- Web login in a browser When the desktop client hangs on connecting but the servers themselves are fine, signing in from a browser still gets you to your files and share links.
- Offline files in the mobile app Anything you marked for offline access opens without a connection.
- Local sync folders If you set up Sync in pCloud Drive, those folders sit on your own disk as normal files, so you can open and edit them in the meantime and the changes upload once the service comes back.
- Dropbox or Google Drive For a file someone needs today, upload a copy to one of these and send that link instead.
Fix pCloud on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone
pCloud on Windows
- Fix
- Restart the pCloud Drive app from the system tray and ensure your antivirus or firewall isn't blocking the pCloud virtual drive. If issues persist, reinstall the app to update the virtual drive driver.
- Check
- Check if the pCloud virtual drive (usually drive letter P:) is missing from File Explorer. You can also hover over the pCloud icon in the system tray to check for connection error messages.
ping pcloud.comTest whether pCloud's servers replynslookup pcloud.comCheck that pCloud's DNS resolvestracert pcloud.comTrace where the connection dropsipconfig /flushdnsClear the DNS cache, then reloadpCloud on Mac
- Fix
- Force quit pCloud from the Activity Monitor and relaunch it, or check macOS System Settings to ensure the pCloud system extension is allowed to run. Reinstalling the desktop app can also resolve system extension conflicts.
- Check
- Look for the pCloud icon in the menu bar to see if it displays a disconnected status. You can also check if the pCloud drive is missing from the Finder sidebar under Locations.
ping -c 4 pcloud.comTest whether pCloud's servers replynslookup pcloud.comCheck that pCloud's DNS resolvestraceroute pcloud.comTrace where the connection dropssudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponderFlush the macOS DNS cache, then reloadpCloud on Android
- Fix
- Clear the pCloud app cache in your Android settings and force stop the app before relaunching it. If the issue remains, check the Google Play Store for any available updates.
- Check
- Open the pCloud app to see if your files fail to load or if you receive a connection error. You can also check if automatic media uploads have paused indefinitely.
pCloud on iPhone and iPad
- Fix
- Force close the pCloud app and toggle your Wi-Fi or cellular data off and back on. If it still fails to connect, check the App Store for updates or reinstall the app.
- Check
- Check if the pCloud app displays a connection error banner or if your synced folders fail to load. You can also try accessing your files via the iOS Files app to see if the pCloud integration is active.
What happens when pCloud goes down
pCloud is a cloud storage service. You use it for files, photos, videos, and backups across web, desktop, phone, and tablet apps, and an outage interrupts sync, sharing links, public folders, and access to files when the original machine is not with you.
When pCloud has trouble, sign-in and file lists often fail first, so the web app may show a connection error and the desktop client can sit in a connecting state without loading your folders. Uploads and downloads then stall or fail. Background sync stops, and local changes queue up instead of reaching the cloud. Sharing links and public folders may show an error to anyone who opens them, even if the files are still on your computer; problems tend to be partial, with one platform or one region breaking while another keeps working.

How we track pCloud
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for pCloud, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for pCloud, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. pCloud doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
