pCloud Drive is a cloud storage client for macOS that lets users access, sync, edit and back up files from their pCloud account without consuming local hard drive space. The app presents cloud files as a mounted virtual drive in Finder, allowing seamless integration with the Mac's file system. It supports features like file syncing, offline access, encrypted folders (Crypto), and peer-to-peer file sharing. pCloud Drive is distributed directly from pCloud and is actively maintained with regular updates. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe pCloud Drive app itself is actively maintained and has shipped a native Apple Silicon build — this has been confirmed in the field. The Mounter.Helper launchDaemon is a sub-component that ships as part of pCloud Drive, not a separate product, and is automatically updated whenever you update the main pCloud Drive application. To migrate from the Intel version to the native build, download the latest version of pCloud Drive directly from pcloud.com/download. The official installer will serve the native Universal Binary build on Apple Silicon Macs. After installation completes (and a system restart is required), the native Mounter.Helper will be deployed automatically. Your pCloud configuration, mounted drives, and file sync history will carry over without any manual migration. Expect noticeably lower CPU usage and improved battery life compared to running the Intel build under Rosetta.
