Oh man, pCloud on macOS “Tahoe 26” is basically a disaster zone right now. I’m running into exactly the same outdated message—one minute it’s promising the whole cloud as a drive, next minute it’s telling me “lol nope.” Frankly, after chasing their so-called “compatibility updates” for Ventura and Sequoia that never really arrived, I stopped holding my breath that they’ll fix it for 26 anytime soon.
Everyone keeps pointing to macFUSE as the problem child, which makes sense since Apple now basically treats kernel extensions like toxic waste. Hear me out, though: setting SIP to “reduced” mode and fiddling in Recovery just so you can mount pCloud? Nah, I’d rather not risk bricking my Mac for the privilege of watching a spinning wheel.
I noticed @mikeappsreviewer had some luck with CloudMounter (props for the workaround), but TBH, I’m not 100% sold that paying for another app just to access the cloud is the future I ordered. File streaming is supposed to be plug-and-play, not patch-and-pray. I see a lot of folks making peace with web access, which is frankly meh for larger files or batch jobs, but at least it works.
My two cents: If you’re not married to pCloud’s whole “virtual drive” shtick, the web app or even their sync folder is still rock solid. Not as sharp as a mounted drive in Finder, but you won’t get locked out by OS drama. Bonus tip: if you’re desperate for drive mapping and don’t mind third-parties, CloudMounter is probably the lowest-friction option right now, especially while pCloud twiddles its thumbs. But yeah, feels like déjà vu every time Apple drops a major update—pCloud just can’t keep up.
So yeah, not just you. No magical fix right now except third-party workarounds, and honestly, don’t bother holding your breath for pCloud to sort themselves out. Just hope they get their act together before Tahoe 27 comes out and breaks yet another thing.
