The slow speed has not much to do with pCloud as On a Mac M1 transfer up and down for the same 5MB file is sub 1 second. Unfortunately there’s no API to query which datacentre a user is on for obvious paradoxical reasons (you’d need to be logged on to make the API call), the Mac/Windows clients probably just try both and see which works! The only practical difference for CloudFS is needing to remember to enter the different datacentre name into OmniClient.
Any new accounts will select the closest based on your IP address at the time of creation, though this can be overridden by just changing the Data region drop down menu. Accounts can be migrated from one to the other for a fee.
Since (roughly) Feb 2021 there has been an option to have your data hosted in datacentres in the EU or the US, which for some people is significant given the introduction of GDPR. Obviously the fix is to set the server to PCloud EU rather that just PCloud.
