It claims to respond within 24 hours, but a whole day of waiting may be too much for some users. We received a response within six hours of sending our test query. Also missing from its customer support service are phone support and a forum where users can discuss issues among themselves, and live chat would be a welcome addition.
MEGA could learn a thing or two from Google Drive, which has a wealth of customer support options available at all times. Despite all the drama surrounding it, MEGA remains a solid cloud storage service. With its strong dedication to privacy and security, it is one of the safest cloud services around.
You may be better off with a service like Sync. What are your thoughts on MEGA? Is the drama enough to scare you away, or is all that free encrypted storage just too good to pass up? Let us know in the comments below. Thank you for reading our full MEGA review. Hey, Great! Just be careful to not rely on one single source for your backups. Will you please go into more detail about your concern and what general set-up you recommend for a complete backup? I want to understand the background regarding your comment.
The glitches have locked me out of my account for the second time within a month. Am I permanently locked out?? Lose the password, you can reset it — no problem. Only if you have the encryption key. Lose that too and you are locked out of your account forever.
But kudos to Mega, they offered to set me up with a new account with the same email id. Thankfully, I had the encryption key scribbled down in a postit. However few software options presenting currently, but we can expect more soon. Forget Mega. To test, I created a free 50 GB account and tried to upload a 3 gb file. The same speed that the 56k dial-up modems had about 25 years ago. Check with your internet service provider. If it was dialup speeds it would take a month to upload that much..
Same problem!!!!!!!!! I shut every other program down and just let Mega run and its taking hours to upload a 7MB file!!!!!!!!!! Perfect for what need it for — file backups and sharing. I use a dedicated offshore server with mbps connection. Mega is a great service, the only problem with the free accounts are the limits, until they kick in the max speed I got is mbit in download and mbit in upload.
MEGA is awesome. Thank you! Just awesome! Very crazy fast to upload and has the only option missing from all other cloud storage service: we can choose which folder we want to upload to the cloud and not only the default sync folder.
It will add the files to that folder and if the files are the same nothing will happen to that specific file. I got my home movies 4GB range on with a few problems but it worked.
No thanks. I tried it today. And with the 50GB free qouta. Trying to upload 50 GB. It took, whole day to complete 1 GB so far. The performance is too slow!!!!!!!!! Not sure, if its because of encryption. I wish the performance is better to make me use it every day.
I am really happy when i got 50 gb bit i do feel not comfortable because next time i might lose it when you say stop free. If you stop free storage please give time to download all documents. Thanks from khmer2worldwide. Extremely fast and easy to use. Uploading files goes at my max of 1,1 MBps not bits. Downloading goes at like MBps. The size reported for the uploaded file may not mean it has not been stored correctly or completely.
The reported size of a file depends on a lot of factors, including the possibility that the web site actually runs compression on the stored content to save disk space.
If you do a bit of reading about how files are stored, you may discover that the reported size on disk may not really reflect the actual number of bytes in the information contained in the file. I shall not go into the extensive topic of how data is stored, but you can research it for yourself. Did you try to down-load the file to your computer in a separate storage location, so it does not overwrite the original and run a comparison with the original?
This exercise might allay some of your concerns… Sometimes a bit of testing and some knowledge about how computer storage is done and reported by a directory listing can help allay your fears. The upload speed for me is great.
I use Mega a lot. I use to to store some of my backup pictures, and if I want to bring pictures on a trip to show others.
Overall — Great.. Check it out! I loved it… easy upload, etc etc. All the good stuff. No way would I ever use Mega again. But I do… I downloaded it yet again. But still, I get an error message saying Mega is not accessible for me.
Have I lost all the photos I stored there? This is infuriating!! You have to remember the password. If not, please find your encryption key which you got during registration I guess.
What you can also do is reset account. But then it will delete all the data on cloud and create new account with same Email ID.
Firstly, MEGA is by no means a perfect service. It has flaws. My other complaints is that the Sync client is a bit alienating, unclear when it has updated and not telling you what has changed. Even with all these problems I still choose MEGA because of their dedication to security which to me is the most important factor of consideration for cloud storage.
Ho all. I cant understand what are these crazy upload and download speeds? It is extremely fast. Mega is the fastest free web claud. The files stay there for as long as you stay active. That means you have to login once in a couple of months so your account doesnt get deleted from inactivity.
Once in 3months. I am using Mega to backup my photos on my computer. I like the ease of the drag and drop feature to upload, and the fact that I can upload whole folders at a time. There is not further explanation as to what this means or why it will not upload.
This is very frustrating, as it is a large amount of files. Please explain why this is happening and is there a way to get these files to upload? Instead of fixing problems your only making things worse, Adding a new interface every time one logs in does fix bugs or problems.
I get little or no support from MEGA at all. Of course their right on you soon as you go over your 50 GB free account, but as for actual problems from a real paying customers, you truly suck!
In fact, a mid 19th Century telegraphist is simply not able to transfer your files faster using Morse code than Mega, a cloud storage and file hosting service offered by Mega Limited, an Auckland-based company, as simply even loading the landing page containing the link to the downloadable file would require inhuman amount of work and hours of input and transmission of Morse code from the aforementioned telegraphist to transmit the data contained within the download page to you to achieve even remotely comparable results, thus revealing the lingering fact that just because you lack the technological know-how to operate a personal computer in an acceptable fashion does not mean that the internet service Mega Limited, an Auckland-based company provides would ultimately be lackluster or unusable by the average user.
But I tried a couple of hours later and I was able to upload my files faster than Dropbox or Google Drive. This is actually kind of pissing me off.
I wanted to download one item, not put all of my items on the internet. Is there any way to remove them from the cloud and back to my comp? When trying to upload my files, it gets to a stage and says I should free up space on my phone otherwise my upload is disabled.
Unlike other cloud storage providers, your data is encrypted and decrypted by your client devices only and never by us. Upload your files from your smartphone or tablet, then search, store, download, stream, view, share, rename or delete your files any time, from any device, anywhere.
Share folders with your contacts and see their updates in real time. The encryption process means we cannot access or reset your password so you MUST remember it unless you have your Recovery Key backed up or you will lose access to your stored files. End-to-end user-encrypted MEGA video chat allows for total privacy, and has been available through the browser since It has been extended to our mobile app, with chat history accessible across multiple devices.

This is an awesome app and allows me to make use of the cloud on my iPhone except for one small issue. You just select the folders you want to Sync. Not Helpful 2 Helpful 3. Here's the note from MEGA support: "MEGAsync is very lightweight and will not consume a lot of space on your boot volume, so we opted against making the installation path configurable.
Not Helpful 7 Helpful 3. It's a sync client, so it will use your drive space when you put something on Cloud. Not Helpful 3 Helpful 3. If you mean, if you delete a file locally, will it delete the same file on the mega. Not Helpful 12 Helpful 3.
