Introduction

pcloudcc is simple linux console client for pCloud cloud storage derived from the console-client developed by pCloud. This version is independently maintained by me, whose only affiliation with pCloud is as a user of their services. Due credit goes to Anton Titov, Ivan Stoev, and pCloud.

Supported Platforms & Distributions

The target operating system and platform for this program is linux/amd64, and has been reported to work on linux/aarch64. Program behavior on 32-bit architectures is considered undefined.

I aim to support as many distributions as possible. I maintain a package for AUR and Nix. I do not plan on providing or maintaining any other packages, but encourage anyone interested in doing so for their own distributions.

Compatibility Matrix

Distribution	FUSE
Debian trixie	2.x
Debian trixie	3.x
Arch Linux (rolling)	3.x latest
Fedora 41	3.x
Fedora (latest)	3.x latest
Debian forky	3.18+
Slackware 15	3.10.5

All configurations require mbedTLS 3.x. Runtime mount testing was performed manually on FUSE 2 (libfuse 2.9.x), FUSE 3 (libfuse3 3.10.5), and FUSE 3.18+ (Debian forky container).

Notices

Security Notice

My code audits are best-effort, and I make security enhancements as I identify problems. However, I do not promise that this program is free of even older and well-known security vulnerabilities. Therefore, I recommend using this program only on a trusted single-user system. Security-related code audits and contributions are most welcome!
