I've been annoyed with the cost of Evernote for a few years, but I never took the time to find an alternative. For me, Joplin seems to do everything I needed with Evernote, but without the high cost. I had a lifetime paid subscription to pCloud, so I might as well use it to store my notes.
If you're trying to use Joplin with pCloud, follow these instructions to help you set it up.
First, create a folder in your pCloud account to store the Joplin data. For simplicity sake, I recommend making it all one word, like "Notes" or "Joplin". Why? Because you're going to have to include the folder name in the URL you provide in Joplin to point to the folder.
***WARNING failure to setup a separate folder WILL RESULT in the files in the root folder of you pCloud being turned into .md files.
Tools > Options > Synchronization
Under "Synchronization target" select WebDAV.
For WebDAV URL enter: https://webdav.pcloud.com/your-folder_name-goes-here
***See the warning above. If you fail to include your folder name, it will attempt to turn all your files into Joplin notes by encrypting them and making them into .md files.
For the WebDAV username and password, enter your pCloud login information. Leave synchronization interval at 5 minutes, unless you want to disable it or set it to synchronize less frequently.
Click "check synchronization configuration". It should say "Success!...". If it doesn't, you need to make sure you entered your username and password correctly.
If you have trouble, you can ask for help in the Joplin discourse.
