Hello

We needed free cloud storage of more than 20 GB, and we found MEGA with 50 GB for free. I was impressed to use it with this big of a size and the ability to share it with others and ability to access it through mobile apps. this promotion was the biggest trigger to skip to MEGA.

Pros

Biggest free size.
Availability of multible copy or versions.
Many client access web, app and desktop application.

Cons

How many used my shared files
More features to control shared files
Options to backup files on local pc and mobile.

Hi there We were looking for high capacity free cloud storage, and we discovered it at MEGA. Its large size and sharing capabilities amazed me when I used it. However, we were unaware of how many people downloaded the shared data or how other people used the shared link or didn't use it.

Mega is a secure cloud storage with lots of free space and encrypted security measures. Mega is a great alternative or addition to other major cloud storage providers, even offering additional useful business tools and integrations. Mega has a solid referral program for acquiring more storage as you use the services and grow your network.

Pros

Mega is very easy to use
Mega has a solid referral program unlike others
Mega is very secure

Cons

Mega does not have a large suite of apps compared to competitors
Mega could offer more and best competition
Mega has few integrations

Likelihood to Recommend

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!

Great For Sync, Not So Much For Sharing and Collaboration

Rating: 8 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

Sync across desktop and mobile devices.
Great user interface.

Cons

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).

Likelihood to Recommend

MEGA is great for storing and syncing files across devices. It has a great web interface, as well as a sync tool for desktop and a mobile app that works very well on iPhone. (I have not used the Android version of the app.) I like the overall usability, as well as some of the features like the QR code and contact list functionality. I like the file versioning and file management features as well.

What works less well for me is collaboration with other users, and file sharing among users. I have not been able to find a way to view all files shared with me from other users in the same view as my own files. In fact, when files are shared with me, the only way I have been able to locate them is through Notifications, which is sub-par. I would much prefer to see all shared folders alongside my files, without having to make a copy of the shared folder, thus losing the ability to sync with another user's changes, as well as using up my storage space.

Upload, share and download at the speed of light.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros

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

Cons

Sometimes the download rate drops by a lot, so the downloads take much longer.

Likelihood to Recommend

If what you want is to share your files on the web, in forums or only among friends, MEGA is a great tool for you because you can upload, share and download large file at fast speeds. Now if what you want is not to share, but only to make a backup of your files, MEGA is equally good and functional, since it provides more than enough space (50GB) so you can store all your files and documents.

The only bad thing is the download and upload speeds are variable and are not always the best; on many occasions you will find that it is very slow, but luckily, from my experience this only lasts a few minutes and then it will return to being as fast as ever.
