I can’t recall if that can be done, but it doesn’t sound familiar. I’ll look later and update if I see anything like that.

UPDATE: There is a “Sync” config item that allows you to define a Local Folder and a corresponding pCloud Drive Folder. It looks like you can define a local folder, but then the ‘pCloud folder’ is any folder you have in your pCloud drive, existing or new. Could that be what you’re looking for?

I have a pCloud client running on my EndeavourOS system. I think it may be an appimage, but it updates no problem when they release one. Releases page: https://www.pcloud.com/release-notes/linux.html
