All of my videos and photos are automatically synced from my phone to pCloud and many of those videos I want to copy to my media server. This feature is something that I really would like to have as well. Whether that will get any priority from the pCloud developers I don't know! It would certainly open up interesting possibilities if a robust implementation of pCloud was available on that platform. But it does appear to need more development to be robust on the Pi. It's good that pcloudcc is available to build, so that in principle it can be used on non-Intel platforms such as Raspberry Pi. So the problems seem to be specific to Raspberry Pi. To verify that this isn't a general problem, I built pcloudcc on a headless server running Debian on an Intel Xeon based server, and found that rsync worked absolutely fine. The rsync ran for a while, but then stalled.
Although the pCloud files appeared present, I was unable to transfer a selection of them using rsync to a different directory on the Pi. I also found that other things didn't work well on Raspberry Pi.
It was then possible to link minidlna to files within pCloud.
I created systemd services for both minidlna and pcloudcc so that both operated as services under the same user. It is possible to overcome the technical problems of the link up. Unfortunately there seem to be more problems with pCloud on Raspberry Pi than just the question of linking up to minidlna.
