What is MEGA?
MEGA is presented as a private, trusted and secure cloud storage and collaboration platform. Launched in 2013, MEGA is an accessible zero-knowledge cloud storage provider to deliver user-controlled end-to-end encryption. The product design is governed by the principle of not letting our no-compromise end-to-end encryption get in the way of usability.
MEGA is a privacy-focused cloud storage and chat provider with over 220 million registered users globally. Users upload over 65 million encrypted files a day. With MEGA, they are in control of who can see, access and share their data. MEGA can be used from all major devices and platforms from anywhere with the Internet.
Zero-Knowledge
Zero-knowledge means that not even MEGA can access the user's files, and only each user holds the key to unlock their content. MEGA also offers the ability for users to verify the credentials of contacts when sharing files, using cryptographic fingerprint technology, ensuring they are authentic before gaining access to your content.
Ease of Use
People need to send and store a lot of files, and a cloud provider should accommodate this. its generous 20 GB free offering will help users get started, and when more is needed, their competitive paid plans will support up to 16 TB for individuals or unlimited for businesses.
Using MEGA, friends, colleagues and customers can download shared files without the need to sign up, and they’ll still benefit from MEGA's transfer speeds.
MEGAchat
Audio and video calling with messaging come with every MEGA cloud storage account. But unlike some other video calling providers, the user can know conversations are secured with MEGA’s user-controlled end-to-end encryption. Available on desktop and mobile.

Great For Sync, Not So Much For Sharing and Collaboration
I've used MEGA in a personal capacity for years, and in a business capacity on occasion when clients prefer it for sending and receiving files. Most recently I used it to receive 40 GB of documents, audio and video files sent from a client. I use the web client, as well as the desktop and mobile clients.
- Sync across desktop and mobile devices.
- Great user interface.
- Takes a long time to log in using the web interface, upwards of 15 or 20 seconds.
- User Interface affordances can get in the way (popup hints).
- MEGA has had a positive impact in being able to send and receive files with clients who prefer it.
- MEGA has also had a positive impact in allowing us to receive files without paying for a premium plan.
- Dropbox, Dropbox Business, Box, Apple iCloud, OneDrive and Google Drive
MEGA has a great user interface that I prefer to some of its competitors, although it is mostly par for the course, modeled after conventional file explorers such as you would find in the Windows Explorer, classic File Manager application, or OS X Finder. I do prefer some of its user interface decisions and clean, sleek design, and I find it more user-friendly than Google Drive, iCloud, or OneDrive. However, I feel that it lacks capabilities in the file sharing department because some of its sharing features are hidden in different tabs.
- Sync across devices.
- New user onboarding.
- Sharing files with other people.
- Seeing files that have been shared with you.
Yes
It works great! I am a big fan of their mobile app and found it very easy to use, and to choose exactly what files I want to sync to my device. It is really nice to be able to tell it to only sync a single folder and then be able to easily drop files into that folder and know they will show up on your device.

MEGA is one of the best cloud storage services that exist at the moment. I usually use it to store and share information and files with users of certain forums, as well as with my FB contacts. I like to use this option since I do not have to limit myself in the size of files that I upload and share, I just have find/create the file I want and simply upload it to share it with the world.
With respect to my work, I have also uses MEGA for that, especially when the created video files are very large to share via email. With MEGA, I can email a download link and also keep the file stored in my cloud if I want to share it again later, or if I accidentally delete it from my PC.

- Very fast upload and download rate.
- Lots of space for little money. Even in the free version, they give you more space than other clouds (50GB)
- It has an encryption system so your files cannot be published by third parties.
- Has mobile apps for iOS, Android, and Windows phone
- Sometimes the download rate drops by a lot, so the downloads take much longer.
- You can create backups without needing to occupy the cloud you share with other workers.
- You can share large files quite quickly. Also, those who receive the link can access the file in just a few minutes.
From my experience both are very good, but they are also very different. MediaFire has managed to survive regardless of all the problems that it's had, but at some point it fell short, not in speed because it is really fast, but in the space that provides. That's where MEGA totally wins, since almost no one can compete with its free 50GB and the 200GB you get in the cheapest paid version.
