Cloud Storage Company pCloud Launches the Public Folder

Leading cloud storage company pCloud has announced the release of the Public Folder – a new file sharing method, which allows users to easily share and display public content.

The Public Folder
Last month, pCloud announced the release of a new feature, describing it as a way to reshape how people display and share ideas with others. In the Public Folder, users can use their account as a file server for static content, without having to run a file server on the their home computer.
It was designed for content that is specifically meant to be public and it makes it easier to do things like displaying static one-off websites, embedding image files and sharing files directly with other people.

Displaying static HTML content
The Public Folder gives users the chance to display static HTML content by creating and pasting a Direct link to HTML-formatted text files and any linked graphics. That way, users can host and preview one-off static websites without any additional need for file servers.
Embedding Image files
Another extremely useful perk is the ability to provide an embed code for image files. This makes it easier to show photos, display an email signature or add visual resources to code.

Creating Direct links
Every file inside the Public Folder has its own unique Direct link, which users can share with others, quickly and without side distractions.
Cloud storage users might already be familiar with the Public Folder – a feature, discontinued by Dropbox a while back. By bringing back the Public Folder to its users, pCloud provides a faster and more convenient data sharing experience. The tool is intended for those, who are searching for a reliable replacement for FTP and file servers.
Currently, users can enable the Public Folder from pCloud’s web app – my.pCloud.com. The feature is fully-available for pCloud’s Premium community, but Free pCloud users can also try it out in a 7-day free trial.
