FlyWP allows you to seamlessly connect your pCloud account to store your website backups securely in the cloud. This guide will walk you through the process of adding pCloud as a backup provider and configuring it for your sites.

## **Step 1: Add pCloud as a Backup Provider**

First, you need to connect your pCloud account to your FlyWP team.

- Navigate to **Team Settings** from your FlyWP dashboard.
- Select **Backup Providers** from the sidebar.

- Give your provider a recognisable name (e.g., “My Personal pCloud”).
- Click the **Connect pCloud** button. You will be redirected to pCloud to authorise FlyWP to access your account.

## **Step 2: Prepare Your pCloud Account**

Before you can configure backups for a site, you need a dedicated folder in your pCloud account where FlyWP will store the backup files.

- Log in to your pCloud account in a new browser tab.
- Create a new folder. We recommend naming it something clear, like FlyWP Backups.

- Open the newly created folder.
- Look at the URL in your browser’s address bar. You will see something like my.pcloud.com/#/filemanager?folder=FOLDER\_ID. The **FOLDER\_ID** is a string of numbers.

- Copy this numeric **Folder ID**. You will need it in the next step.

## **Step 3: Configure Backups for Your Site**

Now you can tell a specific site to use your newly configured pCloud provider.

- Navigate to the site you want to back up within FlyWP.
- Go to the **Backups** tab in the site management sidebar.

- Click on the **Backup Settings** button.
- In the **Backup Provider** dropdown, select the pCloud provider you created in Step 1.
- In the **Root Folder ID** field, paste the numeric Folder ID you copied from the pCloud URL in Step 2.
- Configure your desired **Backup Retention**, **Frequency**, and other settings.

- Click **Save Backup Options**.

That’s it! Your site’s backups will now be automatically saved to the specified folder in your pCloud account according to the schedule you set.
