### "Ottimo per iniziare, ma si può migliorare"

March 8, 2026

4.0

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

### "Mega, outil de stockage en ligne sécurisé"

February 16, 2025

4.0

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

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.

### "MEGA: A verdadeira nuvem de armazenamento"

June 15, 2025

5.0

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.

### "Utilidad MEGA"

January 27, 2025

4.0

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.

### "Big Attention"

August 10, 2024

1.0

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.

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

### "My go-to backup and cloud storage solution"

May 17, 2024

5.0

Overall, highly recommended as a cloud backup, file transfer, and storage tool.

Pros

I've used Mega for many years and always found it simple to use, intuitive, and quick to transfer and upload large quantities of files. It's my go-to for backup and storage, and offers great solutions for file-sharing and transfer, too. Built-in encryption is also good, meaning good security and privacy options. Finally, the price-point is fair, and there's a decent mid-tier offering which has always been enough for me, and I expect should cover most users' needs.

Cons

No real negatives here... The website can be a little slow sometimes when you have a large Cloud Drive, but the app itself runs well.

### "Secure Cloud Storage and Easy File Sharing for Everyday Users"

May 22, 2024

4.0

Pros

MEGA has been a reliable solution for storing and sharing files securely across my devices and with clients. The end-to-end encryption and generous storage space give me peace of mind knowing that my data is safe. The user-friendly interface and easy collaboration features make it a breeze to work with colleagues and share files quickly, boosting our productivity.

Cons

MEGA's customer support can be slow at times with the free version, be patient or seek community forums for help.

### "Mega, Perfect Place For Personal Use"

September 16, 2021

5.0

If you want to judge my overall experience with the mega, Then you can imagine from here, I start using the Mega in 2016 and now my whole family is using the mega. Even we also use to prefer mega for chat purposes too. Do you know why? Because mega has a cloud messaging system and my family messages are not going to disappear anytime. I can always read the chat of my family and friends anytime I want and can enjoy the moments when I received that message. Now if you are also thinking of start using the Mega, Then definitely I will recommend you with a 10/10 rating and I assure you that mega will never disappoint you.

Pros

I have liked to encryption system of mega too much. There is always an option of generating the password key separately as well as combine with a link. I'm using the mega for cloud purposes. And I'm saving my family's memories on the mega server. I have stored a lot of pictures and videos related to friends and family. There are also a lot of documents that I have stored on the mega server and I have not afraid of getting into any problem. I can manage folders and files inside mega. I have liked the folder system of mega too much and the basic plan is also an amazing service at all. I was unaware of Mega and then I start using the Mega with the basic plan. After that, I realized I may lose data from my system so I should store it in a safe place. Then I came to the Mega for a safe and trusted place. There is always an option of sharing files any time I want without my hesitation. The chat system of Mega always remains my favorite at all. I can share uploaded photos, videos, and documents with my family through the Mega chat system. I'm using the Mega android application for chat purposes and for sharing files with my family and friends. But for uploading and manage folders I use to prefer the Mega site. I found both methods reliable and safe.

Cons

Of course Mega is my favorite at all and there is nothing that needs to be complained about or needs to be improved. Mega has changed my life very smartly and now I am using the mega on a daily basis. Memories are the perfect way to change your mode when you feel alone. And I use to store my memories on a mega server. I have my engagement pictures and videos on the mega server. And I use to enjoy them, whenever I use to go away from my home. I started using the mega from the basic plan and now I'm using a paid package plan. And I found the pricing section very affordable. Now if anybody will ask me, where you will be storing your personal data for the next 10 years? Then definitely my response will be the Mega sever. I have used a lot of cloud services but I found it mega different at all. And I'm going to use this for a lifetime.

### "The perfect cloud storage solution"

April 14, 2023

5.0

It would be good to take care of some details such as:- Sometimes it takes a long time to upload large files, and when you leave the MEGA page, you have to restart the process again.

Pros

MEGA It is really the perfect solution for cloud storage, excellent integration with other programs and websites, and it supports all operating systems with a high level of security.

Cons

It is difficult to mention all the features of MEGA, but some of its most important features, for example:- You can take advantage of the storage space, this allows you to try the program before the purchase process.- You can play audio and video without having to download data, this great feature saves a lot of time.- a suitable price.

### "Great performance, generous resources at great prices!"

August 27, 2021

5.0

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.

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.

MEGA is the most simple to use and set-it and forget-it file storage service. Icedrive is great, but has trouble with older computers who have older operating systems, since their app doesn't work correctly there. Icedrive also sometimes has slower speeds than usual when downloading - so if I want to share something, it's not so fast.

### "Il miglior cloud in circolazione"

February 25, 2023

5.0

Pros

Le funzionalità più importanti sono sicuramente il poter gestire le proprie cartelle con i propri file, la presenza della chat per condividere con amici file direttamente senza dover passare link su piattaforme esterne e il versioning, che fa sempre comodo

Cons

L'unica cosa che potrei consigliare di introdurre è l'implementazione di un sistema che ci avverta di avere due foto/immagini simili o uguali, in modo che possiamo evitare di caricare erroneamente due file identici o che ce lo segnali in un secondo momento in modo da poter liberare spazio

### "An indispensable everyday tool"

October 21, 2023

5.0

Overall, I'm delighted with MRGA. I love the well-polished interface, ease of use, speed, and ability to share with others. It's more than just cloud storage, as I'm just beginning to realize.

Pros

I love the ability to designate some files as favorites and that is a sort function so I can quickly find what I'm looking for. I'll be pursuing how to chat with potential clients in a secure, encrypted fashion and meetings of up to 100 people to whom I can sell my services.

Cons

Nothing really comes to mind at the moment

### "MEGA te ayuda a almacenar datos de estudio"

June 2, 2023

5.0

Mi experiencia fue de gran ayuda, al momento de estudiar de esta plataforma pude crear una biblioteca personalizada sobre los libros que he leído a lo largo de mi trayecto estudiantil.

Pros

Pude actualizar mucho mis archivos y poder crear mi propia biblioteca de datos sobre los libros que tenía que estudiar y hacer un resumen en mi labor universitario. Me ha ayudado a crear un ambiente de comunicación sobre conocimientos ya que solo ingresaba al link que se creaba y leía de los libros.

Cons

A veces por copyright los libros no eran accesibles y el link ya no funcionaba o también hay que tener cuidado con virus que pueden estar de archivos desconocidos.

### "Cloud storage with MEGA"

October 27, 2021

5.0

Pros

MEGA works well as a cloud service and file-sharing program. It offers a large amount of free storage space for those that sign up for an account with them. If a video file is saved here, it has a streaming media player that can watch and play a video without first downloading it.

Cons

I'm not too fond of the fact that the data are initially stored on the cloud storage throughout the downloading process rather than immediately on my computer's local storage. I can only download the files into my computer's local storage after the file transmission is complete. Additionally, users must set up an account with MEGA before downloading anything.

### "The leader in cloud storage services"

February 1, 2023

4.0

I have been using the Mega service for a very long time. It's one of my favorites. I use it mainly for its quality of service and its data encryption. I use it mainly for file sharing because it offers plenty of file sharing features, including the ability to share download links with others and sync files across multiple devices

Pros

One of the leaders in the industry, may be related to the history of its creation lol. Seriously, Mega is an excellent storage and file hosting service. I think Mega is more used as a data hosting service than a private cloud storage service. It's very easy to share your files or make download links for the public. One of the strong points of Mega is security. With this service, my files are safe, and even transfers are encrypted from point to point. Concerning the speed, it is excellent, with this technique that it has to load/unload the data. I love this cloud storage service, especially in free mode, I have the right to 50GB of storage. But for those who don't find it enough, they can get up to 8TB of storage in paid mode

Cons

Upload/download of data from a web browser is limited. Beyond that, it is mandatory to use PC or mobile software. So, it is not possible to upload/download your files from anywhere

### "Mega, just another cloud storage service"

November 22, 2021

3.0

It worked quite well for me to save documents and files that I needed to have on hand anywhere, sadly when the free space filled up and I wanted to create another account with my other email address, the space they gave me was only 20 GB and I decided to switch to Google Drive in its paid version, which was cheaper than Mega.

Pros

Personally, I use the free Mega service, since at the beginning it offered 50 GB of capacity and this was a great advantage over other services such as Google Drive or Dropbox, currently it only offers 20 GB for free, which is still more than that offer other services.

Cons

Mega's payment service is more expensive than other alternatives like Google Drive, so it is not worth paying for it. In its free version, having reduced the capacity from 50 to 20 GB, also made me look for other free alternatives that offer more space

### "The pros and cons of MEGA"

October 13, 2021

4.0

MEGA is quite fast in downloading files, and can resume the download process is there are interruption on the internet connection. There are some feature that i don't like, but still it is a good software.

Pros

MEGA as a cloud storage and file sharing software is pretty good. It has a large free storage for a free account that are registered with theme. If a video files are stored in here, it has a video media player than can stream and play the video without having to download the file first.

Cons

I don't like that in the downloading process, it will store the files on the cloud storage first and not directly on my computer local storage. Only after the files transfer is complete, i can download it into my computer local storage. User also need to have an account with MEGA first before they can download the files.

### "Migliore applicazione per mantenere i propri file al sicuro e con tanto spazio a disposizione"

June 1, 2023

4.0

Pros

MEGA offre un'ampia quantità di spazio di archiviazione gratuito a tutti gli utenti. Mi permette di conservare una vasta quantità di file senza dover preoccuparti di superare i limiti di archiviazione e/o dover aggiornare a offerte Premium.

Cons

Il client di MEGA sul PC è molto lento a parer mio e la risoluzione dei problemi dal team di sviluppo non è abbastanza efficace. Un'altro importante inconveniente è dovuto al fatto che MEGA è un servizio di archiviazione online, il che significa aver bisogno di una connessione internet sempre per caricare, ad esempio a differenza su OneDrive è possibile caricare offline e alla connessione i dati vengono caricati automaticamente...

### "Il migliore"

May 19, 2023

5.0

Pros

MEGA è l'unico software da me mai utilizzato in grado di poter interrompere l'upload/download e poterlo poi riprendere in seguito; ottimo per chi ha problemi di connessione lenta. Lo ho trovato molto semplice da utilizzare, e fornisce un quantitativo di giga utilizzabili non indifferenti per un prezzo più che ragionevole; consigliato!

Cons

L'unica pecca forse è che se non si è utenti a pagamento, il software permetterà un limite di download giornaliero; per me non è un grosso problema, ma per chi magari deve scaricare qualcosa di più pesante oltre i limiti giornalieri, potrebbe toccare un po' di attesa; ma ne vale la pena!

I recommend Mega for those who needs a reliable and affordable cloud storage.

Pros

Mega is a great option for a low-cost cloud storage. I've been using Mega for over 5 years now and it has been a reliable and easy-to-use service. One of the things I like most about Mega is the amount of storage space available for free accounts. Plus, the pricing for paid plans is very reasonable.

Cons

The synchronization and file transfer process can sometimes take longer than expected, especially when dealing with larger files or when there is a slow internet connection

Ritengo che MEGA sia il software di cloud-storage migliore dell'ultimo decennio; da sempre avuto grandi possibilità anche solamente tramite browser, l'applicazione installata è veramente imbattibile sia in upload che download ed è facilmente condivisibile.
