I do understand that other cloud storage providers like DropBox and OneDrive are having issues with M1 macs as well. I hope that they get around to natively supporting M1 macs using Apple’s new file system APIs soon. After all, they come from Switzerland and are supposed to be super security conscious.

Overall, I wish pCloud were more upfront about their support for M1 Macs and the requirement for this kernel extension workaround. Although I understand their intent, I’m not happy doing this since even if I trust macFuse, I may be opening myself up to other vulnerabilities.

For Fuse they recommend that you reboot your Mac in recovery mode and “reduce security by allowing user management of kernel extensions from identified developers”. On Windows or Mac computers, I found pCloud to be extremely easy to use, offering all the features I needed for safe and secure file sharing and storage.

You can download a “pCloud Drive for Mac with Apple Silicon” version of pCloud Drive - but it still requires Rosetta to run under Intel emulation. Stratospherix develops high quality software for iOS, macOS and tvOS.

Two things concerned me that I hope they will fix: Hi - if you’re like me, I listened to recommend pCloud and also signed up for their lifetime special deal on Valentine’s day.
