App summary

MEGA provides user-controlled encrypted cloud storage that’s accessed with web browsers and dedicated apps for mobile devices. Unlike other cloud storage providers, your data is encrypted and decrypted by your client devices only and never by us.

Upload files from your smartphone or tablet, then search, download, stream, view, share, rename or delete them from any device, anywhere. Share folders with your contacts and see their updates in real time.

You can also automatically connect your local data to sync to the Cloud drive, ensuring your important files are always safe and accessible across all your devices.

MEGA’s strong and secure end-to-end encryption means we cannot access or reset your password. You MUST remember the password and make sure to back up your account recovery key. Losing your password and the account recovery key will result in lost access to your files.

Enjoy the security and privacy of encrypted one-on-one and group chats and meetings. Our zero-knowledge encryption means that your messages, audio and video calls are safe, secure, and private. Collaborate seamlessly with your team members or friends and family with direct integration with our Cloud drive for sending and receiving encrypted files.

MEGA offers generous free storage for all registered users. You can get even more free storage in 5 GB increments through our MEGA Achievements Programme.

Need more storage? Check out our affordable MEGA subscription plans that offer plenty more space at https://mega.io/pricing.

Subscriptions renew automatically for successive periods of the same duration at the same price as the initial period chosen. To manage your subscriptions, simply tap on the Play Store icon on your device, sign in with your Google ID (if you haven’t already done so), then tap on the MEGA app.

All MEGA client-side application code is published on GitHub, for transparency. The code of our Android mobile app is located at: https://github.com/meganz/android

I enjoy using this it seems to be efficient and affordable a good value. I'm not the most tech savvy and I can use it so I like that downloads and uploads pretty quick and playback is pretty good looking. it has more features than i know how to use, but the ones I know how to i am comfortable with I've been a user for at least 2 years and in that time nothing weird has happened and I feel that it's very secure.

MEGA is one of the worst services for file downloading or sharing that I have experienced. The file download speeds from MEGA servers are abysmal. A 50 MB file on average will take 3 to 5 minutes to download on a Gigabit internet connection. The app and website interfaces are poorly constructed and prone to freezes, crashes, and incorrect imputs. Additionally, features that are synonymous across other platforms are non-existent on MEGA. I only use the app because the website does not work at all

Needs to be able to recognize "Date Taken/Media Created" metadata to properly sort. I would have switched over from OneDrive if they could have had this implemented. It's showing photos that I took years ago with my photos taken this month. Everything else is excellent I really wanted to switch over.
