Overview
Pogoplug Drive is a software program developed by Cloud Engines. It adds registry entry for the current user which will allow the program to automatically start each time it is rebooted. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The primary executable is named ppdrive.exe. The setup package generally installs about 7 files and is usually about 27.63 MB (28,968,718 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1). While about 85% of users of Pogoplug Drive come from the United States, it is also popular in Belgium and Canada.
