FlyCI macOS Runners Storage: 2x More Than GitHub's

When we started providing macOS images for GitHub Actions, our images had about 28GB of storage. Gradually, with every image update, the storage shrank to about 10GB, which we realize is absolutely insufficient for developers.

As of today, our images provide 30GB of storage, which is 2x more the storage provided by GitHub (14GB). More storage means more freedom in downloading different tools, saving artifacts and test your apps.
