Install the apps on a Mac

Updated November 3, 2026

Every MyCloudSuites app for Mac installs the same way. One download gives you Cloud PDF by MyCloudSuites, with Cloud Docs, the Word-compatible editor, built in. Cloud Sheets, Cloud Slides, Cloud Books and Cloud Photo each have their own; see the other apps below.

Before you start

You need macOS 13 Ventura or later. See System requirements for the rest.

There are two downloads, one for each kind of Mac. To see which you have, open the Apple menu and choose About This Mac:

  • Chip: Apple M1, M2, M3 or later means Apple silicon.
  • Processor: Intel means an Intel Mac.

Steps

  1. Go to the Download page and choose Apple silicon (M1 and later) or Intel Mac. If you’re not signed in yet, you’ll be asked to sign in or create a free account first.
  2. Open the file you downloaded (its name starts with pdf-studio- and ends in .dmg). It’s usually in your Downloads folder.
  3. In the window that opens, drag Cloud PDF onto Applications.
  4. Open Cloud PDF from your Applications folder or Launchpad. The first time, macOS asks whether to open an app downloaded from the internet: choose Open. Cloud PDF is signed and checked by Apple, so this is all it asks.
  5. Afterwards you can eject the Cloud PDF disk in the Finder sidebar and delete the DMG.

The other apps

On the Download page, choose Mac. Each app has its own Download for Mac button for Apple silicon, and a For an Intel Mac link. Open the DMG, drag the app into Applications, and open it from there, just like Cloud PDF. Each app updates itself.

Where’s Cloud Docs?

Cloud Docs is part of Cloud PDF, not a separate app with its own icon. Word files open in Cloud PDF in a tab of their own. To start a new Word document, choose File › New Document (Cmd+N). To open a PDF or a Word file, choose File › Open… (Cmd+O).

If something goes wrong

  • “Cloud PDF can’t be opened because it’s from an unidentified developer.” You downloaded it somewhere other than this site. Download it again from the Download page.
  • “You can’t open the application because this Mac doesn’t support it”, or it’s very slow. You picked the other chip’s download. Check About This Mac and download the right one.
  • The download didn’t start. Sign in and use the download buttons on your account page instead.
  • Still stuck? Contact us and tell us what you see.
