The Sync Client stores your data locally on your PC and synchronizes every change of a file or folder. You can access your folders and files even without the Internet. The Drive Client, on the other hand, integrates a network to free up local storage space. Here, too, every change to a file or folder is automatically applied. However, an Internet connection is required here.
In order to be able to work on a document with team colleagues or external partners at the same time and track all changes in real time, it is a good idea to create a share link. With this you can easily share files with non-registered users and edit them simultaneously.
To create a share link, click on "Share" next to the respective folder or file in the web interface. You can now copy the link or forward it by mail to the selected person.
At luckycloud, an "administrator" is the person who handles payment, account and team management. An administrator account also has access to the cloud storage of luckycloud and can do everything a user can do.
In the web interface you will find the Tools tab on the left side and below it the Activities item. Here you will see all activities of all users on files and folders sorted by date, each with the corresponding time.
For each change, a snapshot is created that contains the state of the directory after the change. If you accidentally delete a file, you can easily restore it. To do this, go to the directory and click on the clock (Versions) in the top right-hand corner, where you will also see an overview of all the files that have been changed. Under Action, the option View snapshot appears via mouse-over. Here you can download any version and also restore it (also via mouse-over under Action.)
Sometimes other users and you may be editing the same file at the same time. Your changes may conflict with the changes made by others. In this case, your change is saved while your friends' changes are saved as conflict files. These files end with the author's email address and the current time - for example, test.txt (name@beispiel.de 2013-10-01-00-12-24). This gives you the opportunity to manually view and adjust the changes.
In the Teams Manager click the "edit" gear. Here you can customize the settings for each individual user. In the private storage field, you have the option to assign storage quotas. These should not exceed the available team storage size, otherwise you can always make an adjustment in the configurator.
In the web interface, under Tools, click Published directory and then click the Publish directory button.
Deleted data in the recycle bin and versions also occupy disk space. We recommend that you clean up your data.
Attention: Irrevocable deletion. It is no longer possible to restore the deleted versions!
If you delete a user, all luckycloud services will be deactivated with immediate effect and the data stored there will be completely deleted. To add this user again, please contact our customer support at or +49 30 814 570 920.
An encrypted directory cannot be decrypted again. Encrypting a directory is a one-time process, like a fingerprint, that is irreversible. You must upload the entire encrypted directory's data to a new directory to "decrypt" or re-encrypt it.
Within a browser, a single file for upload/download can be a maximum of 4 GB.
This counts for your storage web interface as well as for external share links.
Important: When downloading a folder it will automatically be converted to a "zip file", this must also not exceed the 4GB limit.
If you need to upload or download larger files, please use our Sync- or Drive-Client.
You can access our service using WebDAV, we no longer offer SFTP for security reasons.
When setting up a recurring payment via PayPal, you allow luckycloud to debit your Paypal account for a period of 12 months. If the direct debit agreement expires, you must enter into a new agreement or set up payment at the currently applicable prices. We recommend using SEPA direct debit or credit card.

With VeraCrypt you can create a partition that is only accessible with a password or keyfile. This is particularly useful if you use sensitive data on multiple devices and want to ensure that your data is protected in the event of loss or theft.
Download VeraCrypt from the official VeraCrypt page and install it.
If you are using an encrypted partition with the luckycloud sync client, activate the "Do not disconnect on local error ” option in the settings. This prevents the synchronization from aborting if the partition is not available.
Further information can be found in the VeraCrypt documentation.
