pCloud Javascript Picker Component

The Picker allows developers to add support for selecting files and folders from pCloud in their web applications. It's a small JavaScript component library that enables your app to get files and folders from pCloud without having to worry about the complexities of implementing a file browser, authentication, or managing uploads and storage.

Users can select file or folder and via callback the application receives the selected item.

The library provides easy way to upload file from URL to user's folder in pCloud via uploadToFolder method.
