MEGA vs. Yandex Messenger

Mega is well suited for expanding cloud storage with advanced encryption, while still being the easiest to use of all the cloud storage apps. It’s Mega’s substantial free tier and solid referral program it’s a great addition to any growing business utilizing cloud storage. I’d recommend mega to my colleagues to backup, share, messages, videos, documents, anything!

Clean, contemporary UI that is heavily polished and works great. You can tell they did a lot of user testing with this, and have a top notch UI design team that really cares about the customer. A highly user-friendly service across platforms and form factors, I found their web, desktop and mobile apps to all be impeccably designed and consistent.

While I have never contacted customer support, there is a large user community that has posted solutions on third party websites to a number of common questions like how to share files, and how to access files that have been shared with you. When I received a 40 GB shared file, I was not able to find how to access it until I searched on Google to find a solution, which was easy to find. The large user community helps with support tremendously.

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.

Incentivized

• 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.
