Pros I started to hear about MEGA about a year ago, and I found it super easy to use. It has an enormous storage and I enjoy how fast the sharing process is and the management of the file is so easy. I think it's a software that even if it was to pay for it would be worth it. Cons I have not much to complain about because it has always done the job. Maybe some times it doesn't let me upload easily but it always works. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Graduate Assistant Higher Education ### "Not a budget option but good for beginners." 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 May 22, 2026 If I have very little concern for storage this is a good option to go with. But I am sure how secured they are in terms of cloud security. Pros The interface is easy to use for me. I have app and website and I can easily sync in between them. Good thing is that the security is very tight and they give recovery text too in case I lose my password. Cons The customer support is not that good, they hardly can give any solution which is not documented on the website page. Also, pricing is not great compared to other vendors. Switched from [Cloudberry Drive](https://www.capterra.com/p/10021271/Cloudberry-Drive/) [IDrive](https://www.capterra.com/p/171884/IDrive/) Pricing was not that great if I think of add-on services and customer support.

Antonio C. Programmatore International Trade and Development ### "Ottimo per iniziare, ma si può migliorare" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 March 8, 2026 Ho utilizzato mega per parecchi anni ( all'incirca 7 anni ), e ho utilizzato sia il profilo gratuito ( quindi con 5 gb a disposizione ), che quello a pagamento ( ero arrivato a 100 gb ), e mi sono trovato nel complesso bene, però ad oggi sono dovuto passare alla concorrenza a causa dei limiti citati in precedenza Pros Facilità di caricamento, e semplicità di utilizzo grazie alla grafica semplice e minimale che consente subito di capire le varie sezioni e il loro utilizzo Cons Purtroppo rispetto ad altri concorrenti sempre gratuiti ha dei limiti ad oggi troppo penalizzanti, quali ad esempio il limite di gb di download e anche il costo dei vari giga aggiuntivi. Aggiungo anche che la base minima di giga offerta per il profilo gratuito è troppo bassa Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

CEO Health, Wellness and Fitness ### "Fraudulent Scammers with a broken app and a bot driven support department" 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 November 11, 2025 Horrible, scammers, app doesn’t work and the customer service department is an uncaring Ai robot who just repeats itself no matter what you say. Pros The experience was unilaterally awful and there was nothing to like, the app doesn’t work and the support department doesn’t care. Cons They scammed me - I signed up for 1 month and they charged me for 1 year. Their support department refused to correct the issue. I signed up to download videos from someone who stores on Mega - when I try to download I get the error “insufficient disk space” even though the video is only 1GB and I have 15GB free on my iPad and 3TB free in Mega. So I was fraudulently charged over $100 and still can’t download the videos. Switched from [Google Drive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161425/Drive/) I falsely believed Mega would work but it did not and I regret my choice to use Mega.

WL Whitney L. Small Business Owner Consumer Services ### "Mega is an alright anonymous file sharing tool" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 July 23, 2025 Pros I like the file sharing capability and storage even with the free version it will allow a certain amount of upload and download size for free. Cons I least like the fact that if you want to store larger files you do have to eventually pay for that storage and also after so many days of non use your account will be wiped clear of files stored so it requires consistent usage.

Como não tinha interesse em pagar para aumentar o armazenamento, resolvi procurar alternativas e busquei o MEGA que até o momento tem cumprido o que promete. Pros Gosto muito do MEGA porque é um provedor rápido, na questão do upload, donwload e compartilhamento de arquivos. Até o momento tenho usado esse recurso e tem sido de grande valia. Cons Até o momento, não consigo dizer alguma funcionalidade que me desagrade. Tem uma ótima funcionalidade no PC e no smartphone. Switched from [Google Drive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161425/Drive/) porque o drive super lotou e eu não queria pagar para ampliar a capacidade.

Even if it is a company out of the country" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 May 19, 2025 It has been a good experience, I think i store some stuff on Google drive and the other stuff I save on mega. I think i have really gotten used to both products Pros It has been around for a long time. I think it is one of the better cloud storage alternatives. I almost gave it five stars. Cons It is not very easy to reset the pass word. I think I have not figured out alternatives to a password system, I think it would be good if it had finger print reading ability Switched from [Google Drive](https://www.capterra.com/p/161425/Drive/) I use both products now. I am happy with that change. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Developpeur web Internet ### "Mega, outil de stockage en ligne sécurisé" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 February 16, 2025 Pros En terme de stockage et de partage de fichiers en ligne à nombre illimité de personne, Mega se positionne au rang de meilleur logiciel qui assure cela. Grâce ce logiciel, je conserve mes fichiers et dossiers importants en ligne, aussi pour partager des fichiers avec mes collaborateurs à distance, je depose juste sur mon stockage en ligne puis je les partage simplement le lien et il peut télécharger au temps de fois qu'il veut. Il faut noter aussi que l'interface de cette plateforme est très simple, clair, et très similaire à nos explorateurs de fichiers de pc windows ou mac, ce qui rend l'adaptation plus rapide à un novices. Cons J'apprécie bien le Mega, seulement leur système de suppression de compte inactif apres une période, s'il peut augmenter la période à 2 ans au moins se sera pro parce que à mes depuis , quand j'avais stocké mes fichiers importants sur ça et je ne me connectais plus, j'utilisais juste les liens de partage pour récupérer, un bon matin matin, mon compte a été suspendu pour raison de non connexion pendant plusieurs mois , c'est après j'ai vu dans ma boîte mail qu'il y avait plusieurs avertissement de suspension Switched from [Dropbox](https://www.capterra.com/p/143068/Dropbox-Business/) [Tresorit](https://www.capterra.com/p/150689/Tresorit/) Je suis passé à Mega pour deux raisons. D'une part, contrairement aux autres qui donne 2go, 5go, etc en version gratuite, lui il donne 20go. D'autre part, que vous soyez en gratuit ou premium sur mega, vous n'êtes pas encombré par des publicité contrairement aux autres dont les versions gratuites sont remplis de bande de publicité.
