Identitycard the account is created with an email address and a verification link, and the vendor's account guidance names an email address and a password; whether registration asks a phone number is unverified. The lifetime plan is bought with a credit or debit card, with PayPal backed by a linked credit or debit card, or with Alipay in select regions
EgressTRAP-SHAPED but escapable. Verbatim from support: 'Every pCloud plan includes a specified amount of shared link traffic that resets on a monthly basis (regardless of whether you have a monthly, annual, or Lifetime subscription) ... pCloud Premium Plus (2 TB): 4 TB per month ... pCloud Ultra (10 TB): 20 TB per month'. Blog confirms the ratio is 2x storage: 'As of September, 2026, it is double the amount of your paid storage'. CRITICAL EXEMPTION: this cap applies only to public shared links — API, WebDAV and app downloads are not counted, per pCloud's own link-traffic explainer.

Interfacerest, rclone rest
Toolingrclone backend pcloud — the trial grant is a normal quota bump, so rclone works unchanged against it.
Composes withThe grant repeats: a new email address creates a new account that holds a new 500 GB for 3 months. 4 grant cycles a year x N email addresses. 10 email addresses = 5 TB of rolling free capacity. The friction is re-uploading data each cycle and that rclone remotes must be re-authed per account.
ReliabilityHighest-confidence repeatable trial found. It is a marketing code, not a security hole, so it is unlikely to be retroactively enforced; but pCloud can invalidate a code at any time. Verified the promo-redemption page is live; did not burn an account to confirm the grant lands.
