pcloudcc usage

Getting Help

Terminal command is pcloudcc and -h option prints short options description.

pcloudcc -h

First Use

Start the service in the foreground using the -p switch to enter your password, and the -s switch to save the password to the database. Verify that file system starts and mounts normally after the

pcloudcc -u example@myemail.com -p -s

Optionally specify your own mount point.

pcloudcc -u example@myemail.com -p -s -m /path/to/mountpoint

Registration (UNTESTED)

If you don't have existing user use -n switch to register new user:

pcloudcc -u example@myemail.com -p -s -n

Notice that a new user may take a while to mount. Please, be patient.

Run as Daemon

If you have saved your password, then you can run pcloudcc as a background daemon. Verify the filesystem is mounted when the daemon starts.

pcloudcc -u example@myemail.com -d

Command Prompt

Use the command prompt to interact with a running daemon.

pcloudcc -k

Command Reference:

  help(?): Show this help message
  crypto(c):
    start <crypto pass>: Unlock crypto folder
    stop: Lock crypto folder
  sync(s):
    list(ls): List sync folders
    add <localpath> <remotepath>: Add sync folder
    remove(rm) <folderid>: Remove sync folder
  finalize(f): Kill daemon and quit
  quit(q): Exit this program

Note. Command line arguments that include special characters (e.g., the crypto start password or paths with spaces) must be quoted or escaped. In other words, instead of:

startcrypto Str0ng p4$$word 4 great jUSTicE!

One must now type, for example:

c start 'Str0ng p4$$word 4 great jUSTicE!'

If the password includes quotes for some reason, then those characters must be escaped properly.
