pCloud Rewind

Over time the necessity of creating backups of our digital materials has become overwhelmingly apparent. You’re always just one wrong click away from accidentally losing valuable data like photos, videos or projects. And it isn’t just your personal mistakes that can ruin your day like that. Various cyber threats are always lurking in the shadowy parts of the web, waiting for a chance to infiltrate your computer. We are living in a time when ransomware has become more widespread than ever before!

For all of these reasons, it is paramount that we have a way to restore seemingly lost files. And therefore, we would like to introduce you to pCloud Rewind.

Thanks to this awesome new tool, you will be able to gain access to ideas you thought were lost to oblivion. pCloud Rewind will allow you to travel up to 365 days back in time. And with its help, you can restore your pictures, documents and other content that may have been damaged or deleted. All you have to do is select a date and a time, and the time machine will do the rest. So, to summarize, let’s have a look at all the opportunities pCloud Rewind can give you:

View deleted files and folders:

That much we’ve pretty much explained. If you ended up deleting some valuable piece of data, you can restore it. However, that data needs to still be in the Trash for this work. You can also view permanently deleted files as part of the changes, but you won’t be able to restore these. The program will only keep records such as the file types and names of the files in question, so as to maintain the file structure for that specific date and time.

Older versions of files:

Say, you renamed a file, or converted it to a different format. Or maybe you have been working on a project and suddenly realized you wanted to take a different approach to it. pCloud Rewind will allow you to view snapshots of that data over the course of time. Thus, if you would like to rewind to the point where you project was still going as planned – you got it. Then you will be free to build from there.

Shared content:

Not least important, with the help of this program you will also be able to view files that were previously shared with you. For instance, say you had access to some folder where you and a colleague or friend could share data with each other. But then for whatever reason, you no longer had access to that folder. Now you can recover the contents that were previously shared with you in that folder – quick and easy!
