About MEGA

A cloud storage solution with a secure chat client, MEGA is used by companies of any size to facilitate data sharing, syncing, backup, and storage. Users benefit from a dashboard that displays used storage, transfers, versions, and referral program perks. They can also use the built-in live chat tool for secure communication with co-workers. Paying users can set passwords and expiry dates of their own whenever they share files.

With its source code published on GitHub for transparency in security matters, MEGA features end-to-end encryption and cross-platform compatibility with Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS operating systems.

Users can send encryption keys, along with file and folder sharing links, or choose a different channel for added security. The list of features also includes two-factor authentication (2FA), document previews, media playback, selective syncing, versioning, and deleted file retention.

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.

My go-to backup and cloud storage solution

Reviewed on 2024/05/17

Overall, highly recommended as a cloud backup, file transfer, and storage tool.

Overall, highly recommended as a cloud backup, file transfer, and storage tool.

Pros

I've used Mega for many years and always found it simple to use, intuitive, and quick to transfer and upload large quantities of files. It's my go-to for backup and storage, and offers great solutions for file-sharing and transfer, too. Built-in encryption is also good, meaning good security and privacy options. Finally, the price-point is fair, and there's a decent mid-tier offering which has always been enough for me, and I expect should cover most users' needs.

Cons

No real negatives here... The website can be a little slow sometimes when you have a large Cloud Drive, but the app itself runs well.

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, 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
