pCloud-specific things to know

pCloud subscriptions can work differently depending on your plan type. These tips cover important details about cancelling.

Lifetime plans work differently
If you bought a lifetime plan, you can't cancel it for a refund through the website. Contact pCloud support for lifetime plan questions.
Files stay accessible after cancellation
Your files remain viewable and downloadable until your paid period ends. After that, you're limited to the free plan storage.
Mobile app cancellation varies
If you subscribed through the mobile app, you might need to cancel through your app store instead of the pCloud website.

Before cancelling pCloud

These details can help you avoid issues with your pCloud cancellation.

1. Download important files first

Make sure to download any files you need before cancelling. While you can access files until your billing period ends, it's safer to backup important data.

2. Check your billing source

If you don't see a cancel option in your pCloud account, you might be billed through an app store or third-party provider instead.

3. Note your storage usage

After cancellation, you'll drop to the free plan limit. If you're over that limit, you won't be able to upload new files until you free up space.

Other options to consider

If you're cancelling due to cost or storage needs, you might be able to downgrade instead of cancelling completely.

Downgrade your pCloud plan

pCloud offers multiple storage tiers, so you might find a cheaper option that still meets your needs.

  • pCloud Premium 500GB

  • pCloud Premium Plus 2TB

  • Free plan with 10GB storage

Switch Your Billing Cycle

pCloud offers both monthly and annual billing options. Annual plans typically include significant savings compared to monthly pricing.

Save up to 20% with annual billing

Alternative ways to cancel pCloud

If you can't cancel through your pCloud account, you may need to go through app stores or contact support. The right option depends on how you're being billed.

Apple App Store

iPhone and iPad users who subscribed through the app should cancel through their Apple ID subscription settings.
