We use two cloud storage providers to organize and share files between our users, Google Drive and pCloud.
Google Drive is used mainly for scripts and certain google connected services, while pCloud is our main production file sharing system. pCloud will be the service most users interface with when they share and receive files.
In order to add you to the project, you will create a free user account on both platforms. As most users already have a google account, we will cover working with pCloud.
When you join the project, you will be sent multiple pCloud folder invitations to the email address you provide. Email invites from pCloud are sometimes marked as Spam, so make sure to check your spam folder.
When you click the Accept Invite button you will be brought to the pCloud website, where it will prompt you to Sign In. If you already have a pCloud account, we recommend you create a new, separate account for this project. If you don't already have an account you can sign in with Apple, Google, or create a new account with your email address. Continue through your account creation as prompted.
Once your account is make, you will see the "New Share Invitation" Page. Click Accept to continue.
After clicking accept, you will be prompted again to Accept the Shared Folder. Do not make any additional adjustments. By default it will be added to the Root Directory.
NOTE: DO NOT RENAME THE FOLDER, DO NOT PLACE IT ANYWHERE BESIDES THE ROOT DIRECTORY
After Accepting the Shared Folder, you might be redirected to the pCloud "Shared with me" page. If so, click accept on all the remaining folders in the same manor as before. If you were not redirected to this page, you can find it by going to the my.pCloud.com website. Under the left Menu Item titled Shared, click Folders, and selecting the "Shared with me" Tab.
After accepting all the shared folders, we are going to clean up the Root Folder. Navigate to the main pCloud "Files" tab. Delete the default generated folders titled "My Music", "My Pictures", "My Videos", and the "Getting started with pCloud pdf". You can delete multiple files by shift clicking on the empty space next to the name (not the check box) and selecting the "delete" menu item that pops up.
Last, go into your Account Settings and head to the Notifications tab. Disable all the Notifications, except the Shared Links Reports.
