How to Transfer Files from pCloud to Nextcloud

The fastest way to move, copy or migrate files from pCloud to Nextcloud is a direct cloud-to-cloud transfer: your files go straight from one provider to the other without ever being downloaded to your computer. Cloud Combo does this for free, for files and whole folder trees, with live progress.

pCloud users sometimes consolidate into another provider their team already uses. Nextcloud is the leading self-hosted cloud: your files live on your own server (or a managed host you trust), fully under your control. Whether you are switching for good, consolidating accounts, or just keeping a backup copy in a second cloud, here is the step-by-step process.

Step-by-step

  1. 1

    Create a free Cloud Combo account

    Sign up at cloudcombo.app — it takes under a minute and no credit card is required.

  2. 2

    Connect your pCloud account

    From the dashboard, click "Add Drive" and connect your pCloud account. You'll sign in with the provider directly via OAuth — Cloud Combo never sees your password.

  3. 3

    Connect your Nextcloud account

    Add your Nextcloud account as well. Choose the "WebDAV / Nextcloud" tile and enter your WebDAV server URL (for Nextcloud it looks like https://cloud.example.com/remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME), your username, and an app password — in Nextcloud you can create one under Settings → Security. Both drives now appear side by side in your dashboard.

  4. 4

    Select the files or folders to move

    Open New Transfer, browse the source drive, and select any files or entire folders — nested folders transfer completely, keeping their structure.

  5. 5

    Pick a destination folder and confirm

    Choose where the files should land, review the total size, and start the transfer. It runs in the cloud — you can close the tab and watch live progress on the Transfer List page. It works equally well for a one-time migration or a periodic backup copy.

Good to know for this transfer

  • Cloud Combo works with both pCloud data regions (EU and US) automatically.
  • Cloud Combo connects to Nextcloud over WebDAV — the same connection type also works with ownCloud, Synology NAS, Koofr and any other WebDAV-compatible storage.
  • Transfers run server-side, so they continue even if you close your browser. Failed files are retried automatically and reported individually — one problematic file never stops the rest.
  • Your files are never stored by Cloud Combo: they stream directly between pCloud and Nextcloud over encrypted connections, authorized via OAuth 2.0 — or, for WebDAV servers, an app password sent only over encrypted HTTPS.
