While testing I observed the same and thought, that pCloud only allows 1 active device on free accounts but I didn't found something online that would confirms this... maybe @mjenny has already stumbled across it?

Well yeah, there isn't much we can do about it...

pCloud is only allowing one valid API token per application (meaning the Cryptomator pCloud app, not thr Android app). As soon as you authorize Cryptomator on another device the previously issued token is revoked and therefore no longer works.

Maybe we should open an issue for the SDK.

Thanks for your input @mjenny.

Just created https://github.com/pCloud/pcloud-sdk-java/issues/18 ... let's see if this limitation is intentional.

Thanks @SailReal for opening the issue. Currently not on a pc otherwise I would have opened it. 😄

There isn't a proper project regarding their backend afaik.

[SailReal]

The problem seems to be fixed :+1: please reopen this issue if it occurs again,

[SailReal]

Just reopened the upstream issue too.

@SailReal did this issue just disappear the last time (pCloud server-side issue)?

[SailReal]

@mjenny yes, it just disappeared and yes it looks like they limit the amount of tokes you can create "simultaneously" on the server-side so that account sharing isn't a problem but the limit of 1? is imo not practical.
