pCloud

FlyWP allows you to seamlessly connect your pCloud account to store your website backups securely in the cloud. This guide will walk you through the process of adding pCloud as a backup provider and configuring it for your sites.

Important Note: Currently, FlyWP only supports pCloud accounts located in the US region. Accounts in the EU region are not supported at this time.

Step 1: Add pCloud as a Backup Provider

First, you need to connect your pCloud account to your FlyWP team.

  • Navigate to Team Settings from your FlyWP dashboard.
  • Select Backup Providers from the sidebar.

  • Click the + Add New Provider button.
  • A window will appear with a list of providers. Select pCloud.

  • Give your provider a recognisable name (e.g., “My Personal pCloud”).
  • Click the Connect pCloud button. You will be redirected to pCloud to authorise FlyWP to access your account.

Step 2: Prepare Your pCloud Account

Before you can configure backups for a site, you need a dedicated folder in your pCloud account where FlyWP will store the backup files.

  • Log in to your pCloud account in a new browser tab.
  • Create a new folder. We recommend naming it something clear, like FlyWP Backups.

  • Open the newly created folder.
  • Look at the URL in your browser’s address bar. You will see something like my.pcloud.com/#/filemanager?folder=FOLDER_ID. The FOLDER_ID is a string of numbers.

  • Copy this numeric Folder ID. You will need it in the next step.

Step 3: Configure Backups for Your Site

Now you can tell a specific site to use your newly configured pCloud provider.

  • Navigate to the site you want to back up within FlyWP.
  • Go to the Backups tab in the site management sidebar.
  • Click on the Backup Settings button.
  • In the Backup Provider dropdown, select the pCloud provider you created in Step 1.
  • In the Root Folder ID field, paste the numeric Folder ID you copied from the pCloud URL in Step 2.
  • Configure your desired Backup Retention, Frequency, and other settings.

  • Click Save Backup Options.

That’s it! Your site’s backups will now be automatically saved to the specified folder in your pCloud account according to the schedule you set.
