# use bindfs to share the mount from client account Sudo usermod -a -G pcloud_client jmbraben Sudo chown pcloud_client:pcloud_client /media/disk2/pcloud To remedy this, I created a shared mountpoint and mounted by bindfs: mkdir /media/disk2/pcloud pcloudĭrwxr-xr-x 2 pcloud pcloud 4096 Jun 11 12:58 Pictures I tried a couple permission games, but nothing worked.and I really think unwise to get fancy with pCloud (and all my data): drwxr-xr-x 4 pcloud pcloud 4096 Jun 11 14:15. From my normal account, this is the seen permissions. Unfortunately the mount in this client account is inaccessible from my normal account. So from my normal Ubuntu 18.04 account terminal login: # allow X access to pcloud_client It appears that you must configure the pcloud service via the gui ui, but once configured, you can start it from the command line as that user (but it still needs some X access to start). This will create the pCloudDrive under /home/pcloud_client/pCloudDrive The best way I came up with was to create a user account on the system and log into pcloud via this user account.

all instances of 'pCloud' you have downloaded /home/downloads/pcloudĪfter that, I downloaded and installed pcloud again, rebooted and logged in and it finally worked.I'm not comfortable having the mount sitting in my home directory and also wish to move it.

I contaced pcloud support and they recommended me to:

Thanks everyone for the responses, heres an update: But this time I even checked Windows, and pcloud is running normally there.I've tried removing the AppImage from Ubuntu and installing it again, but it didn't work. I've had a similar issue before, but it was when pcloud was down (I couldn't even login to my account on the website). I have pcloud installed in both systems and today, while I was using Ubuntu, I noticed that while pcloud appears to be running, the drive is not mounted, the folder looks empty and I can't access any of my files. I'm currently running Ubuntu 22.04 and I also have Windows 10 in the same machine.
