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.

PROFESSOR Primary/Secondary Education ### "MEGA: A verdadeira nuvem de armazenamento" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 June 15, 2025 Comecei a usar o MEGA logo após o sistema do google, GMAIL/DRIVE começaram a lotar o armazenamento. 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.

JG Joseph G. Owner Arts and Crafts ### "It is good to have Mega Storage. 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.

Have used for quite some time and haven't had any noteworthy issues. Pros Keeps what I need to store safe and secure, and allows me access all the time. Cons With latest updates I can't think of anything that would cause me to say anything negative.

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 Business](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.

Owner Information Technology and Services ### "Feature rich, affordable and secure cloud storage" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 February 14, 2025 I use Mega often to store and share large files both for internal use within my company and also when sharing files with external clients. Pros Mega is extremely intuitive and easy to use. It is also a very cost effective cloud storage medium and I feel confident in its high level of security and data protection. Cons They no longer have the ability to create a public dropzone where visitors can upload content without having to log in.

Encargado de la Calidad Educativa Higher Education ### "Utilidad MEGA" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 January 27, 2025 Es una buena aplicación, la utilice por unos años pero luego la deje de usar porque tuvo problemas de sincronización. Era super práctico y permitía tener mis archivos en línea en los dispositivos que utilizaba en el día a día. Pros El espacio que ofrece al crear una cuenta, en comparación con otras plataformas; y la posibilidad que ofrece de utilizar en varios dispositivos, sin importar el tipo de sistema operativo que tengan. Cons El costo que tiene para acceder a los planes, son un poco altos, también la limitante que uno tiene cuando quiere transferir o bajar archivos.
