By updating your M3 Plus to the latest firmware version 2.1.0.8, you will gain access to the following features:

Enabling remote printing, print progress monitoring, cloud storage, one-click slicing, model library usage, video monitoring, and more.

Enabling remote printing and additional functionalities.
Before proceeding with the update, please take note of the following precautions:
1) Once you update to the latest firmware, the original Anycubic Cloud app and Photon Workshop versions below 3.0 will no longer be compatible.
2) You will need to register a new Anycubic account within the new Anycubic APP. The new Anycubic account and the old Anycubic Cloud account are not interchangeable. Consequently, files stored in the old cloud storage and printing records will not synchronize with the new account.
3) If you update your M3 Plus to firmware version 2.1.0.8 or above, you can only utilize Anycubic APP version 1.0.4 or higher, as well as Anycubic Photoshop Workshop slicing software version 3.0 or later.
