Users can sign up for a free tier from Mega, without entering any credit card details, and stay on this free plan forever as it gives 15GB of 'base' storage, and a 'limited' file transfer limit which apparently changes dynamically based on the spare capacity on the Mega network. Upload and download speeds are plenty fast when we use them – assuming you have a decent broadband connection of course – and the desktop has some slick extra features that we like as well: the ability to throttle how much bandwidth it's using, for example, and the option to exclude certain files from the syncing process based on their names. That this cloud storage service is built by people who are passionate about technology shows through, with an integrated, encrypted chat platform called MegaChat used to speak securely with other users, when the need arises.
You can granularly control to sync your entire Mega cloud locker to your computer, or just your selected files and folders.Īlso impressive are the number of extensions that Mega offers, including an extension to the Thunderbird (opens in new tab) email client, to a command line interface.
Just like the online interface, all is quite clean and well laid-out inside the desktop client to monitor any folders that you designate, syncing files analogous to Dropbox. The functions, such as sharing files and folders are always mere clicks away, making it one of the more user-friendly cloud storage solutions that we've come across.Īlong with access to Mega through the browser, there is also the option of using the MegaSync app for Windows, macOS or Linux. The web app enables viewing (or listening to) media files, documents and so on from within your browser. Everything is neatly laid out and accessible – whether you need to upload files or get information about your account- all is reassuringly straightforward. Mega’s web interface provides a slick and smooth experience.
