It's also quite affordable. I greatly appreciate the fact that i could do my payment in my local currency > > **Cons**: Not much to say. Maybe they could increase the amount of GB one can download using the free option ----- ### "Great performance, generous resources at great prices\!" — 5.0/5 > **Marcius** | *27 August 2021* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Everything you need from a file storage service you can get it at MEGA. You have a desktop app, to auto-sync whatever folders you selected. You have a phone app, to auto-upload and store your photos and videos. You have encryption. You have file sharing. You have team members. You have a browser extension. You have a quick pie-chart of used capacity. You have great speeds. You have great prices. Absolutely everything you need in a file storage service. I can't think of anything missing. > > **Cons**: The only con here is the pricing. While yes, it's lower than mainstream deals, it's still not ideal. Pricing is great for higher levels, but most people don't need 16TB of file storage, so we're either stuck trying to squeeze things into the 400GB or need to get the bigger 2TB option. It does seem like the pricing structure is setup for you to go after the 2TB option. The one thing that I would LOVE if they get, is to add their app to the Windows Store. I can't install MEGA on a Windows 10 in S Mode laptop because it's not in the Windows Store and I don't want to exit the S mode on that laptop. So for file storage services I think it's important if they get this extra step. But the Windows Store is mostly empty and no-one gives it any time, yet for the S Mode computers it's important. > > I've been using MEGA for a few years now. It's not the only thing I use, I also use Microsoft 365, mostly because I'm stuck with it with my S Mode laptop. I use free version of Google Drive. I used IceDrive and most recently I started using Storj for the cheaper price. I completely gave up on using DropBox (always hated it). MEGA is great. It's the kind of reliable service where you just set-it and forget-it. I've set everything up in the beginning - the folders that I needed to be synced - and then I don't even need to touch it, unless I want to pull something out from it. You could say that I use it daily, but it actually just runs itself in the background. ----- ### "Big Attention" — 1.0/5 > **Ioan** | *10 August 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked the desktop app, but they will delete the files if you store them there, I don't recommend it. > > **Cons**: They will delete all your files. It only stores files for a short period of time. Better use Google Drive, OneDrive or other clouds so you don't risk your files.e > > I delete the files. It's just another wetransfer, don't take it as a cloud because you'll wake up without cracking. I do not recommend if you have important documents. I lost my pictures, documents, everything. ----- ### "O-Mega-Drive" — 5.0/5 > **Said** | *10 July 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I must admit that MEGA's storage modalities are exorbitant, it is a lot of storage and software that allows you to upload or download files very quickly. The organization as a search engine or file finder is what attracted me the most since it is the easiest to use of all the online storages that I have tested. And the ZIP storage compatible features saved me a lot on my SSD > > **Cons**: The price was what made me disinterested since the options they offer are too good, but they were too much for me and those who collaborated with me, in addition to sometimes not understanding how privacy worked. > > I used it for a short time as my main cloud, but I think it is not for me. It is for people who store a large number of files, mainly multimedia ----- ### "This is the cloud storage for me." — 5.0/5 > **Brandi** | *19 July 2023* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The feature that I like most about MEGA is the file request. I use it all the time and it makes my job so much easier. > > **Cons**: I don't think there is anything I can think of that I don't like about MEGA. > > My overall experience with MEGA is good. I use it every day. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/265313/mega?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/265313/mega) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
