Simply Fantastic

Reviewed on 2023/11/12

Pros

MEGA is one of those softwares you absolutely NEED to use! You can easily upload or download everything you need, and storage your files safely without wasting too much time. Mega is really fast both in upload and download, and you can also pause the download, which makes it perfect if your internet is slow.

Cons

There's nothing I dislike about MEGA, at the moment it's a really solid software for me.

Overall, I'm delighted with MRGA. I love the well-polished interface, ease of use, speed, and ability to share with others. It's more than just cloud storage, as I'm just beginning to realize.

Pros

I love the ability to designate some files as favorites and that is a sort function so I can quickly find what I'm looking for. I'll be pursuing how to chat with potential clients in a secure, encrypted fashion and meetings of up to 100 people to whom I can sell my services.

Cons

Nothing really comes to mind at the moment

A complete bait and switch

Reviewed on 2023/10/27

Pros

I loved their high storage capacity for a one time price

Cons

They did a bait and switch to the Lord buyers. I've been harassed twice in a two weeks period that they will delete my account for inactivity. How dare they! I bought the account when it was on a life time desk - 10 TB of storage. And they dare say they will delete my paid account due to inactivity. To appease them, I logged into the account last week to show activity, but they still sent the email again threatening to delete my account.They even suggested I upgrade to a pro account where I paid monthly when I was fortunate enough to get their lifetime deal.These are bait and switch tactics, pure and simple and they can't be trusted.

Overall it's very useful for increasing your storage in a safe, easy-to-use way, and it also warns you before deletion if too much time has passed. I am really impressed with the features.

Pros

I like Mega features, file transfers with changeable permissions, and end-to-end encrypted communications. The ability to use it to read PDFs is great too.

Cons

After a certain period if it's not used it will delete the stored material.

Overall MEGA is a good file storage/transfer app because it has 20gb of storage for free accounts which can also increase if you buy subcriptions which increase the storage limitations and removes the limit speeds of the transfers

Pros

I like that i can store up to 20gb of files on a free account and i have fast download speeds on a non-account.

Cons

Free accounts have limited transfer speeds

Overall MEGA is a intuitive and convenient cloud storage provider that offers good amounts of free storage to those looking to give it a try included with great security features to protect your account.

Pros

Being able to upload all my files to the cloud together is really convenient, plus, the free storage it offers to users is plenty compared to the competition. It also comes with useful security options like a Passcode lock and back up recovery keys in case of losing your password. My favorite aspect is how easy it is to use the mobile app as its really user friendly

Cons

The free storage might not be enough for some hardcore users. The multimedia files like videos, gifs or anything big in size overall takes a lot of time to load sometimes.

I have been using MEGA cloud storage for some time now, and I must say that it has become one of my favorite cloud storage solution.

Pros

MEGA offers secure cloud storage with end-to-end encryption, which ensures the privacy and security of user data. It provides a generous free storage capacity of 50 GB, with affordable subscription plans for users who need more storage.

Cons

While MEGA offers secure cloud storage, the encryption can cause slower upload and download speeds compared to other cloud storage services.

MEGA is quite fast in downloading files, and can resume the download process is there are interruption on the internet connection. There are some feature that i don't like, but still it is a good software.

Pros

MEGA as a cloud storage and file sharing software is pretty good. It has a large free storage for a free account that are registered with theme. If a video files are stored in here, it has a video media player than can stream and play the video without having to download the file first.

Cons

I don't like that in the downloading process, it will store the files on the cloud storage first and not directly on my computer local storage. Only after the files transfer is complete, i can download it into my computer local storage. User also need to have an account with MEGA first before they can download the files.

The best cloud backup software

Reviewed on 2022/07/10

Pros

MEGA is extremely easy to setup and does not pester you with notifications whenever file sync fails. Whenever such problems arise, it works them out on its own. After years of using it, I have only seen notifications from it whenever my storage was nearing its limit, which unfortunately cannot be said of other popular cloud backup software around

Cons

My only issue with MEGA was that the Manjaro version was a bit buggy compared to the Windows or Ubuntu ones. Despite that, it's quite perfect

I'm using Mega together with two more cloud services to be sure I have a back-up copy of my files in more places, so that they don't get lost. It works seamlessly together with other similar applications without conflicts.

Pros

Having 50 Gb of free space, which gives you the opportunity to try it for a long time with a huge amount of files before deciding to buy it. Moreover I especially like the fact I can pause the upload process of each single file, thus deciding which one is uploaded first.

Cons

The upload process for a file sometimes fails when it's almost completed and it starts over again. But you can prevent it from happening by pausing the upload of other files.

I have been using MEGA for some time, I use it to save some files as a Backup. MEGA has saved me a lot of troubles a few times. Thanks MEGA!

Pros

I love that MEGA offers you possibilities to increase your cloud storage such as inviting your friends and for each friend invited you to earn 5GB of additional storage!!! Also, if you don't want to invite someone, you can always earn additional storage by installing their software, verifying your phone number and etc. I earned 15GB additional storage just verifying email, phone number, etc! Cool right?
I don't think MEGA has download speed limits, I always download at a reasonable speed!
And of course, MEGA is all encrypted.

Cons

I just think the upload speed is a little bit slow.. sometimes the speed does not exceed 100kb!

I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a safe, secure way to store their files.

Cons

when you send a file of a certain size, you are asked to use the app, which I don't like

I always had the feeling of security when using Mega, because when it came to downloading files, I never saw advertisements and Pop-ups like other hosting sites.

Pros

1) It was the fastest hosting site I've come across in the last 15 years. 2) User can host and download without advertisements or pop-ups. 3) The site has the free version. 4) The user can also download on the cell phone even if they are not using the mobile version application.

Cons

Nowadays you have a lot of limitation on the amount of daily download, but it makes up for not so heavy files.
