The pcloudcc works fine when I start it manually ( pcloudcc -u example@myemail.com -d ) but putting it in a .sh file and executed it with crontab ( Added: @reboot /path/to/file.sh ).

How can I start pcloudcc at startup?

Use service or systemctl of your linux distribution
Tutorial
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-a-linux-service-to-start-automatically-after-a-crash-or-reboot-part-1-practical-examples

for use pcloudcc -u example@myemail.com -d whithout typing Password
like this :

echo 'YourPassword' | pcloudcc -u -p -d -m mountPointVolume(/mnt/pcloud)
This line in rc.local for example

My steps are as follows:

I created the pcloud.sh file. You can have it wherever you like, mine is in /home/user/startupCommands/

pcloud.sh
#! /bin/sh echo "[PASSWORD]" | pcloudcc -u [MY@EMAIL.COM] -m /home/user/pcloud
the -m /home/user/pcloud is where I wanted to mount my pcloud drive.

Then I created the service file (pcloud.service) in the /etc/systemd/system/

pcloud.service
[Service] User=[MY_USER] Group=[MY_USER] ExecStart=/home/user/startupCommands/pcloud.sh Restart=on-failure [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

After that I executed the following commands
sudo systemctl enable pcloud

if you don't want to reboot your system then execute the following command as well
sudo systemctl start pcloud

and that is it!

The pcloud script works like a charm when in the command line...
In Service, it is not working...no message of error.

When I restart the computer, the pCloudDrive does not appear in Nautilus.

pcloud.service

[Service]
User=parallels 
Group=parallels 
ExecStart=/home/parallels/startup/pcloud.sh
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

pcloud.sh

#! /bin/sh 
echo "password" | pcloudcc -u user@domain -p -d -m /home/parallels/pCloudDrive

nothing happens when I do:

parallels@ubuntu-linux-20-04-desktop:~$ sudo systemctl enable pcloud
parallels@ubuntu-linux-20-04-desktop:~$ sudo systemctl start pcloud

but happens when:
./startup/pcloud.sh

This is the output of sudo systemctl status pcloud

but folder is empty and Nautilus does not show the mounted drive

I found the solution...

The pcloud.service must be:

[Service]
User=parallels
Group=parallels
Type=simple
RemainAfterExit=yes
Restart=on-failure
ExecStart=/home/parallels/startup/pcloud.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Just add RemainAfterExit=yes and Type=simple
