> **el mahdi** | *14 April 2023* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: MEGA It is really the perfect solution for cloud storage, excellent integration with other programs and websites, and it supports all operating systems with a high level of security.
> 
> **Cons**: It is difficult to mention all the features of MEGA, but some of its most important features, for example:- You can take advantage of the storage space, this allows you to try the program before the purchase process.- You can play audio and video without having to download data, this great feature saves a lot of time.- a suitable price.
> 
> It would be good to take care of some details such as:- Sometimes it takes a long time to upload large files, and when you leave the MEGA page, you have to restart the process again.

### "Cloud storage with MEGA" — 5.0/5

> **Falisha** | *27 October 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: MEGA works well as a cloud service and file-sharing program. It offers a large amount of free storage space for those that sign up for an account with them. If a video file is saved here, it has a streaming media player that can watch and play a video without first downloading it.
> 
> **Cons**: I'm not too fond of the fact that the data are initially stored on the cloud storage throughout the downloading process rather than immediately on my computer's local storage. I can only download the files into my computer's local storage after the file transmission is complete. Additionally, users must set up an account with MEGA before downloading anything.

### "Recommend it to anyone looking for a safe, secure way to store their files." — 3.0/5

> **Aymard** | *25 June 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I'm using this tool to share files with my coworkers and friends. It's really easy to use and the price is great too.
> 
> **Cons**: when you send a file of a certain size, you are asked to use the app, which I don't like
> 
> I've been looking for a free, secure cloud storage option for some time and have found few that I can trust. MEGA is a great alternative. I love that I get total control over my files and can access them from anywhere. I've only had it for a few days but I can already see the value in this service. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a safe, secure way to store their files.

### "The leader in cloud storage services" — 4.0/5

> **Ouattara** | *01 February 2023* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: One of the leaders in the industry, may be related to the history of its creation lol. Seriously, Mega is an excellent storage and file hosting service. I think Mega is more used as a data hosting service than a private cloud storage service. It's very easy to share your files or make download links for the public. One of the strong points of Mega is security. With this service, my files are safe, and even transfers are encrypted from point to point. Concerning the speed, it is excellent, with this technique that it has to load/unload the data. I love this cloud storage service, especially in free mode, I have the right to 50GB of storage. But for those who don't find it enough, they can get up to 8TB of storage in paid mode
> 
> **Cons**: Upload/download of data from a web browser is limited. Beyond that, it is mandatory to use PC or mobile software. So, it is not possible to upload/download your files from anywhere
> 
> I have been using the Mega service for a very long time. It's one of my favorites. I use it mainly for its quality of service and its data encryption. I use it mainly for file sharing because it offers plenty of file sharing features, including the ability to share download links with others and sync files across multiple devices

### "The pros and cons of MEGA" — 4.0/5

> **Haszleen** | *13 October 2021* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> 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.
