The M1’s unified architecture means that the different components can draw on the same resources without having to juggle multiple memory pools at the same time. The M1 chip combines multiple components into a single processing unit, including GPU, CPU, RAM, and more, to provide integrated computing power that comfortably outperforms previous models. With everything going up in price I keep looking to cut some expenses and paying $120 a year for Dropbox when I only use 300 gigs (of the 2TB) just doesn’t seem worth it when something like pCloud exists.Apple’s M1 Chip: Everything You Need to Knowįirst released in 2020 to replace the Intel processors in use since 2006, Apple’s M1 chip has proven to be a game-changer for Mac performance. Along with storage space getting cheaper over time, I guess they got something figured out? It seems 2TB is the standard for most cloud storage providers now but 4 or 6TB should be around the corner soon and I can see pCloud making people re-pay for another lifetime plan if they want more storage and thus making them have a long term footing. I got in when it was 1TB and then they raised the price and gave everyone 2TB. I remember when Dropbox came out and it was something like 100 gigs of storage. The only thing I can think of that would keep them going is that storage needs tend to keep growing. It does worry me how they can offer such a service but they’ve been doing it since 2013 so I guess they know something? I even found an article saying that pCloud is profitable since 2019. I figure if I can get more than 2 years out of pCloud the lifetime plan will be worth it. I don’t use the drive option and only testing the “sync” one instead as it works more like Dropbox which I’m used to.

Thank you for pointing out the drive problem with macOS as I never consider that. Thanks everyone for the responses so far.
