The MEGAsync desktop client keeps my selected folders mirrored across two machines without a hiccup, and selective sync means I only pull what I need. Knowing the files are encrypted before they ever leave my computer is exactly what I wanted. Restored a deleted folder from the rubbish bin last week with zero fuss.
Reliable selective sync, true E2E encryption, easy file recovery
Honestly impressed by how secure and polished MEGA feels for a free account. Sharing folders with family is one click. The one thing that bugs me is hitting the download transfer limit on the free plan when I grab a few large files in a row, then having to wait. Worth it for the encryption though.
Slick interface, easy family sharing, encrypted by default
Free-tier transfer quota can run out quickly
Been using MEGA for almost two years and the zero-knowledge encryption is the whole reason I stay. Uploads of big video files saturate my fibre connection easily, and sharing an encrypted link with the decryption key built in is so simple my non-techie clients manage it. The desktop sync app has been rock solid for me.
True E2E encryption, fast uploads, effortless secure link sharing
Started on the free plan and the storage was more than enough to back up my phone photos and a few project folders. The Android app auto-uploads my camera roll in the background and it all stays encrypted. Sharing a link with the key appended is brilliantly simple for sending stuff to friends.
Roomy free tier, camera auto-upload, simple key-in-link sharing
Beyond storage, MEGA's encrypted chat lets me send files to teammates without bouncing through email. Uploads are quick and the recovery-key system means I'm not locked out if I forget my password. After moving my entire archive here I genuinely trust it more than anything I used before.
Encrypted chat, fast uploads, recovery key safety net
Grabbed the Pro Lite plan and 400GB for the price is excellent compared to what I was paying before. Resumable downloads saved me when my power cut out mid-transfer on a 9GB file. Web client, Android app and Windows sync all stay in lockstep and I never worry about the provider snooping on my stuff.
Affordable Pro tiers, resumable transfers, consistent across devices
Used the import tool to move years of files over and it just worked. The 2TB Pro plan is plenty and the file versioning has already saved me once when I overwrote a spreadsheet. Sync between my laptop and phone is seamless and the encryption is the cherry on top.
Smooth migration, file versioning, roomy Pro plans
What sold me is that the keys live on my device, not theirs, so a breach on their end wouldn't expose my documents. Set up two-factor, downloaded the recovery key, and I sleep fine. Drag-and-drop in the browser is instant and the link expiry options give me real control over what I share.
Zero-knowledge architecture, 2FA, link expiry controls
I run a small design studio and the MEGAdrop feature lets clients upload assets straight into my folder without an account. Everything is encrypted end to end so I can send sensitive mockups without sweating it. Speeds in India have been surprisingly good even on big PSD files. Couldn't ask for more.
MEGAdrop uploads, encrypted client sharing, good speeds
MEGA has been dependable for backing up my work and the encryption gives real peace of mind. The web interface is snappy and search finds my files quickly. Only minor complaint is that stepping up from the free tier to Pro felt a touch pricey for my budget, though the storage you get is fair.
Reliable backups, fast search, strong privacy
Pro upgrade pricing feels a little steep
Really happy with MEGA overall. The privacy-first approach and the generous starting space let me move my whole photo library off other services. My only gripe is the Android app feels heavy and drains battery during big background uploads, so I usually plug in for those.
Privacy-focused, plenty of starting storage, easy folder sharing
Mobile app is a bit heavy on battery during uploads
The end-to-end encryption is genuinely reassuring and I like that nobody at MEGA can read my files. But the so-called 20GB free space keeps shrinking as the bonus storage expires, and on slow days my downloads hit a transfer cap before I'm even done. Torn between trusting the privacy and being frustrated by the limits.
Strong zero-knowledge encryption, clean sharing links
Bonus storage expires, free transfer quota runs out fast
I share large render files with collaborators across timezones and MEGA links download fast for them too. No annoying wait timers or pushy ads on the download page like the sketchy hosts. The fact that it's encrypted end to end and still this convenient is rare.
Quick downloads, no wait timers or ad spam, secure links
MEGA covers all my backup needs and the security is top notch, with two-factor and a recovery key keeping things locked down. Folder sharing with permission controls is handy for collaborating. My one niggle is that very large single-file uploads through the browser occasionally stall, so I switch to the desktop app for those.
Strong security, granular share permissions, dependable backups
Big browser uploads can stall occasionally
I compared a bunch of options and MEGA gave me the most encrypted storage per rupee with the Pro tier. Big uploads fly, downloads resume if my connection drops, and the privacy model is the real deal rather than marketing fluff. The browser app even works smoothly on my old laptop.
Great storage-to-price ratio, resumable transfers, lightweight web app
