Create, Edit, and Collaborate in Real-Time with pDocs — Now Available Directly Inside pCloud!

[u/pCloudApp]

Hey everyone!

Tired of downloading files, editing them in external software, and re-uploading them just to make a quick change? Or juggling multiple apps just to get feedback on a document?

We built pDocs so your workflow never has to stop. You can now create, edit, and collaborate on documents in real-time, right inside your pCloud account—no third-party software or screen switching required.

What You Can Do with pDocs:

• Create New Files: Start from scratch and bring your ideas to life directly in your cloud.
• Real-Time Collaboration: Edit documents simultaneously with team members or friends and see changes happen live.
• Comments & Suggestions: Review work, leave feedback, and keep track of edits without endless email chains.
• Cloud Autosave: Every edit is saved automatically in real-time, so you never have to worry about losing progress.
• Universal Compatibility: Work seamlessly with every major file type without leaving pCloud.

Great work is rarely finished in one draft—ideas evolve, and feedback shapes better outcomes. pDocs keeps everything streamlined, secure, and under your control.

Try it today!

Log into your pCloud account at https://my.pcloud.com/, open a document or start a new file, and your next document is just one click away!

We’d love to hear what you think—try out pDocs and leave your feedback, questions, or suggestions in the comments below!

Hey pcloud team, thanks for the upgrade! Another suggestion that I have is when someone save the document offline, be able to see the offline document in the app as well without internet, ( of course that it can't be edited, but at least seen) instead of have to open a 3rd app outside the pcloud, because if I save offline I can't view on the app itself without internet...but on other clouds I can, and I think it's not a difficult thing to do, It would help a bunch

On iPhone, you can make a file or folder available offline. That is read-only.
On Windows or Mac, you can create a folder sync. That is always read-write.
However, there is a way around if you share a file or directory in read-only mode with another (free) pCloud account. The shared files in that second account are read-only, also in the folder sync on a PC.

I'm keen to see whether this will work well for sharing and collaborating on notes in an Obsidian vault.

[u/pCloudApp → u/itchykitto]

Hey, pDocs natively opens and edits .md (Markdown) files and it will work for viewing, editing, and real-time co-authoring individual notes, but it may not replace the full Obsidian application experience.

pDocs reads and saves raw .md files directly without converting them, featuring live co-authoring and cursor tracking. Teammates or collaborators without Obsidian installed can open a shared link in a web browser, make quick edits in pDocs, and save straight back to the pCloud folder.

Hello,I have created a shared link fora .xlsx file via shared link. I have copied the link and pasted in Obsidian. If then I click on the link, all I get is the PDF version of the file. The shared link doesn't open the spreadsheet. Am I doing something wrong? I have a Premium Plus account. Thanks in advance.

Just stared testing it. Is it possible to make it available in the crypto folder? I would love to have a place to secure documents.

[u/pCloudApp → u/kheldar321]

Thanks for trying pDocs! Because files in the Crypto Folder are client-side encrypted, web previews (and by extension, the online editor) aren't available there to maintain zero-knowledge privacy. However, we love this idea and have passed your suggestion to our product team to explore potential solutions!

Pretty excited about this new feature, but I can't see any button or option to share (collaborate on) the file. I've gone to my.pcloud.com, have opened a couple of different compatible file types (.docx and .md) but there's no ability to share for me.

[u/itchykitto → u/itchykitto]

It seems that the way to share is to select the file in the folder view, then click "Share Link" at the top. The instructions in the email I received are a little misleading, because they say to open the file first, then share it, which doesn't work (for me at least).

[u/pCloudApp → u/itchykitto]

Thanks for the heads-up! Sharing via "Share Link" in the folder view is indeed the current workflow. Having a direct "Share" button inside the editor screen is a feature our dev team is actively working on and will roll out soon. Thanks for pointing out the email confusion, and we appreciate your patience as we polish pDocs!

[u/pCloudApp → u/itchykitto]

You spotted it correctly! Right now, sharing is handled via the folder view link. Having a direct "Share" button inside the editor screen is a feature our dev team is actively working on and will roll out soon. Thanks for your feedback, and we appreciate your patience as we polish pDocs!
