How to Sync MEGA with pCloud on PC — A Practical Guide

🔍 What Are MEGA and pCloud?

MEGA is well-known for its zero-knowledge encryption — all your files are secured on the client side before upload. MEGA offers a generous free plan and focuses on privacy-first sharing.

pCloud is a versatile Swiss-based cloud storage service. Unlike MEGA, pCloud lets you choose optional client-side encryption via its Crypto folder while offering features like lifetime storage, media streaming, and easy file versioning. See their security page for details.

📌 Why Combine MEGA and pCloud?

Many people keep big archives or sensitive data on MEGA thanks to its strict privacy focus. pCloud, meanwhile, is great for accessible daily backups, easy media playback, and file link sharing.

With OurClone, you can sync folders between MEGA and pCloud without relying on third-party servers or unstable web bridges.

🔒 Why Incremental Updates Matter

Backups shouldn’t eat up your entire bandwidth every time. OurClone checks what changed, then only syncs new or edited files. Saves you time, data, and storage space.

🗂️ Local Backup Repository

OurClone keeps an encrypted, local repository on your machine. It tracks all sync logs, snapshots, and previous versions.

This means you stay protected even if a cloud account is hacked or lost.

💼 Who Uses This?

Freelancers mirror big MEGA archives to pCloud so they can stream or share files instantly.

Small teams sync project folders from MEGA to pCloud to benefit from both tight encryption and easy media access.

With OurClone, there’s no risky third-party transfer server in the middle.

🔑 Local-First, No Compromises

OurClone uses SSL for secure transit and AES-256 encryption for local backups. No files pass through third-party servers — it’s your machine, your connection.

⏰ Scheduling & Filters

• Run syncs daily, weekly, or on a custom schedule
• Exclude certain file types or folders
• Decide how to handle file conflicts
• Export logs for review
