### "Se pusieron las pilas y merece la pena"

November 10, 2022

5.0

Lo utilizo para tener archivos que pueda utilizar desde cualquier dispositivo

Pros

Me gusta que se pusieron las pilas, al principio era reacio por su pasado y el miedo a perder información, pero se han puesto las pilas y funciona perfectamente, es una muy buena alternativa que recomiendo, su funcion como almacenamiento en la nube la cumple perfectamente

Cons

Lo que menos me gustaba es su pasado, cuando era megauplad y daba miedo que fuera bloqueada y perder todo lo que tenias, pero ese miedo ya no lo tengo. Funciona perfectamente

### "Mega"

December 21, 2022

4.0

despite all the challenges faced, Mega helps me to share some important files with my relations- it's an awesome cloud storage solution.

Pros

Mega is a great alternative for cloud files storing. It's easily accessible and simple to use.It offers nice pricing options with variable feature comparisons. I'm satisfied working with the free plan cuz it gives me enough space to share some public files.But I also think the paid plans offer extra privileges like additional storage, password link protection, analytics, content recovery, and more which is great for businesses looking for advanced cloud storage solutions.

Cons

There are two things that I find inappropriate with Mega. First, the file transfer speed is mediocre compared to Mediafire, Nextcloud, Dropbox, and pCloud.Secondly, the security level is not too good. I had two of my accounts hacked and all my data were compromised as well. This kept me frustrated and after reaching out to the technical team, they didn't do anything to help me.I also discovered that mega (desktop version) doesn't support file downloads with IDM meanwhile several other alternatives do.

### "The best cloud backup software"

July 10, 2022

5.0

Pros

MEGA is extremely easy to setup and does not pester you with notifications whenever file sync fails. Whenever such problems arise, it works them out on its own. After years of using it, I have only seen notifications from it whenever my storage was nearing its limit, which unfortunately cannot be said of other popular cloud backup software around

Cons

My only issue with MEGA was that the Manjaro version was a bit buggy compared to the Windows or Ubuntu ones. Despite that, it's quite perfect

### "Reseña para mega"

October 7, 2022

5.0

Ha sido muy placentera y de mucha ayuda ya que me a facilitado el manejo de datos y compartirlos entre varias personas.

Pros

Su velocidad a la hora de descargar archivo y su fácil accesibilidad de sistema para compartir enlaces y archivos.

Cons

Su poco espacio que da en la prueba gratis para guardar en la nube, pero que podemos esperar si es posible na prueba gratis. Siendo premium no da ese problema.

Reason for choosing MEGA

Tiene una gran velocidad de subida y bajada de los archivos además es súper seguro y confiable.

### "Securely Encrypted Storage with Plenty of Features "

November 25, 2023

5.0

Overall it's very useful for increasing your storage in a safe, easy-to-use way, and it also warns you before deletion if too much time has passed. I am really impressed with the features.

Pros

I like Mega features, file transfers with changeable permissions, and end-to-end encrypted communications. The ability to use it to read PDFs is great too.

Cons

After a certain period if it's not used it will delete the stored material.

### "A trusted cloud for your docs "

August 15, 2021

4.0

Mega came to me the moment I wanted a trusted cloud to put my video files there I couldn't pay that much for One drive and Google cloud and I needed a trusted alterative. buying subscription never been easier It includes all the payment options from Crypto to PayPal and the price is amazingly fair .The servers never let you down no matter what location you try to upload your files .I definitely suggest friends to sue Mega as their primary cloud while I don't know whether my friends in China would be able to sue it as well or not .

Pros

Well the servers are powerful and smooth ,the UI and connectivity is legit and straightforward also I could use Cryptocurrency for buying subscription Which I personally love that so much . The files and folders are well categorized the way I could find all of my files in the shortest time .The availability of the app on both windows and Phone make me relax .

Cons

I didn't like the customer support . I had some problem for the payment it took me couple of days to hear from them .nothing serious about Mega I like using it .

### "Free cloud storage for business use solution for storing and accessing important data"

February 6, 2023

5.0

Pros

The standout feature of Mega is its user-friendly File Manager. Its interface is simple and easy to navigate, with a convenient Drag and Drop function. Unlike other cloud storage services, Mega's interface resembles a traditional operating system's file management system, making it accessible even for non-technical users. Another benefit is the generous amount of free storage, with new users receiving 20-50 GB.

Cons

Two downsides to Mega are its file transfer speed and security. Compared to services like Mediafire, Nextcloud, Dropbox, and pCloud, Mega's file transfer speed is average. Additionally, I've experienced security issues with Mega, having had two of my accounts hacked and all my data compromised. When I reached out to the technical team for assistance, they were unhelpful. Another limitation is that the desktop version of Mega does not support file downloads with IDM, unlike several other alternatives.

### "Simply Fantastic"

November 12, 2023

5.0

Pros

MEGA is one of those softwares you absolutely NEED to use! You can easily upload or download everything you need, and storage your files safely without wasting too much time. Mega is really fast both in upload and download, and you can also pause the download, which makes it perfect if your internet is slow.

Cons

There's nothing I dislike about MEGA, at the moment it's a really solid software for me.

### "Great cloud service"

July 27, 2021

5.0

I'm using Mega together with two more cloud services to be sure I have a back-up copy of my files in more places, so that they don't get lost. It works seamlessly together with other similar applications without conflicts.

Pros

Having 50 Gb of free space, which gives you the opportunity to try it for a long time with a huge amount of files before deciding to buy it. Moreover I especially like the fact I can pause the upload process of each single file, thus deciding which one is uploaded first.

Cons

The upload process for a file sometimes fails when it's almost completed and it starts over again. But you can prevent it from happening by pausing the upload of other files.

### "Mega el padre de las nubes"

February 8, 2023

5.0

Fácil,práctico e impresionante.. no tengo que llevar una USB con mi informacio. Y eso ya es bastante... Solo te lo que entrar y descargar lo que necesito me fascina

Pros

El almacenamiento que aún nadie te ofrece de manera gratuita y más cuando empecé con el con tal solo 50gb de almacenamiento, en aquellos años era bastante

Cons

La limitación de descarga al ser usuario gratuito que solo te permite digamos 1gb de descarga "por día"

### "Best for storing media type file"

October 19, 2021

4.0

Pros

I have use MEGA to share and store media type files, like video and audio, as they has an embedded player than can stream the media directly from the software without me having to download the file before playing it. They have a free account that has decent amount of free storage that user can use it freely.

Cons

Downloading the files from the web browser version of the software is not effective at all. I need to stay on the MEGA webpage on the download process, and if i change to the other tab, the download process will be halt and worst, i had to start the download process from the beginning.

June 9, 2023

5.0

Pros

It's easy to use, you can easily download data from the drive. 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

### "Almacenamiento y transferencia de archivos mas seguros"

November 27, 2022

5.0

Es muy buen gestor de archivos en la nube, he recibido archivos de gran tamaño sin problemas. y ademas puedo guardarlo para usarlo mas tarde

Pros

Es seguro, tiene un modo de cifrado de seguridad que no permite cambiar de contraseña si no tienes un archivo seguro (se almacena en el dispositivo como archivo .txt) para evitar alteraciones en la cuenta. Los archivos y documentos se almacenan en la nube y crea copias de seguridad de fotos y documentos importantes si tienes la version de aplicacion

Cons

el almacenamiento gratuito es limitado, la suscripcion mensual tiene un precio muy elevado. Y si no usas la cuenta por mucho tiempo se deshabilita y puede ser eliminada por completo

Pros

Ottima velocità. servizio di cluod incluso anche se limitato, funzionalità ottime nonostante la versione gratuita

Cons

magari i limiti di download giornalieri potrebbero essere un problema se bisogna scaricare qualche giga di file ma non sono problemi eccessivi e non sempre succede di dover scaricare tanti file

### "Best cloud service ever!"

July 31, 2021

5.0

I have been using MEGA for some time, I use it to save some files as a Backup. MEGA has saved me a lot of troubles a few times. Thanks MEGA!

Pros

I love that MEGA offers you possibilities to increase your cloud storage such as inviting your friends and for each friend invited you to earn 5GB of additional storage!!! Also, if you don't want to invite someone, you can always earn additional storage by installing their software, verifying your phone number and etc. I earned 15GB additional storage just verifying email, phone number, etc! Cool right? I don't think MEGA has download speed limits, I always download at a reasonable speed! And of course, MEGA is all encrypted.

Cons

I just think the upload speed is a little bit slow.. sometimes the speed does not exceed 100kb!

### "Ideal para compartir archivos pesados"

November 7, 2022

4.0

Utilizado principalmente para la descarga de contenido de gran tamaño, Mega me parece una herramienta de lo más completa que hay en el mercado. Cuenta con compatibilidad con varias herramientas de descarga automática, por lo que facilita la tarea de bajada de archivos.

Pros

Cuenta con la posibilidad de compartir directorios completos que contengan gran cantidad de archivos. Tiene un límite de almacenamiento muy grande, incluso para cuentas gratuitas. Dispone de una aplicación para escritorio que permite sincronización de archivos, facilitando la subida (o descarga de los mismos).

Cons

El precio puede llegar a ser algo restrictivo. Tiene un limitador de descarga, si la cuenta es del tipo gratuita.

### "Software di Cloud Storage ottimo"

April 3, 2024

4.0

Complessivamente è un ottimo software di Cloud Storage, il quale permette di conservare i propri file al sicuro, protetti da un account, quindi potrà accedervi solo chi possiede le credenziali. Molto apprezzato il fatto che si possano condividere con altre persone i file caricati sullo Storage, con il semplice invio del link legato ad esso.

Pros

È un ottimo software di Cloud Storage, il quale ti permette di caricare gratuitamente file al suo interno fino ad un massimo di 50 GB, limite superiore rispetto ad altri software simili. Permette di aumentare lo spazio nell'archivio sottoscrivendo un abbonamento. A differenza di sui simili, anche con la versione gratuita, scarica i file caricati su di esso a velocità di rete e non ad una velocità ridotta.

Cons

Non ho trovato particolari difetti, funziona tutto alla perfezione!

May 15, 2023

5.0

Pros

Grazie a MEGA posso facilmente trasferire ai miei colleghi in remoto tutti i files relativi a progetti aziendali, che in pochi minuti riescono a venire scaricati senza problemi; ho provato diversi software, ma mega ha la funzionalità speciale di poter interrompere e far riprendere successivamente il download, cosa che quando si hanno problemi di rete aiuta non poco.

Cons

Fino ad ora ho trovato solo positività grazie a questo software, che mi ha davvero aiutata moltissimo specialmente periodo COVID.

### "O-Mega-Drive"

July 10, 2021

5.0

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

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.

### "My personal experience with MEGA"

September 3, 2023

4.0

Overall MEGA is a intuitive and convenient cloud storage provider that offers good amounts of free storage to those looking to give it a try included with great security features to protect your account.

Pros

Being able to upload all my files to the cloud together is really convenient, plus, the free storage it offers to users is plenty compared to the competition. It also comes with useful security options like a Passcode lock and back up recovery keys in case of losing your password. My favorite aspect is how easy it is to use the mobile app as its really user friendly

Cons

The free storage might not be enough for some hardcore users. The multimedia files like videos, gifs or anything big in size overall takes a lot of time to load sometimes.
