What is MEGA?
MEGA - private, trusted and secure cloud storage and collaboration platform
Anyone could be forgiven for thinking that all cloud storage services are the same, and all that separates different cloud storage providers are simple features and price differences. But this is not the case. MEGA states they understand the importance of keeping data and conversations private while providing a fantastic user experience that does not impact a user’s right to privacy.
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 to 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).

Upload, share and download at the speed of light.
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.
