### "Used to backup photos and videos"

October 22, 2022

4.0

Pros

A mountain of room to store photos, videos, and whatever else. App for my phone and web app for my notebook, I love the setup in both.I don't have to sync Mega since it's done periodically anyway.

Cons

Gladly I didn't need the help many times, when I did though I wasn't loving the service.

### "How good Mega really is (Point of view of a .net developer)"

November 3, 2022

5.0

It provides a very good experience, since in case you have image or video files, it has a very good internal player, it also allows an almost instantaneous transfer between mega clouds, it has a very decent amount of storage.

Pros

How easy it is to transfer files from another mega to your own, it is easy to manipulate and understand.

Cons

Sometimes the free plan falls short in storage.

### "My Mega experience"

April 5, 2022

5.0

Pleased with the service. Would recommend.

Pros

\- end to end encryption; definitely a must in this era, ensures security and privacy of files; - service is generally easy to use and navigate; - generous 20 gb of free storage; - desktop app for quicker uploads; - easy to use mobile app; and - source code of their applications is available for all to see and scrutinize which is a plus for transparency and builds trust in the service.

Cons

UI and UX could use some work; particularly when uploading documents and stopping uploads. The UI and UX can be a bit confusing.

### "Great storage app with lots of options"

November 5, 2021

5.0

Pros

You start out with 15 gb of storage, which is the same as Google Drive, but you can quickly bump that up by downloading there web extension, referring friends, and other tasks. Very quickly you have a lot of storage for free. The download speeds are great, and it is end to end encrypted, so you know it is secure. It will also let you make links to files so you can share the file with a friend. I use the app a lot.

Cons

It would be nice if it worked with Google Drive better. And they keep your transfer quota to 5 gigs for the free version.

### "A favorable evolution"

July 22, 2021

4.0

A great evolution of its predecessor "megaupload". The entry service already offers a large number of gigs (50GB compared to 5 or 15 of the competition). And the plans, although they are expensive for the region, have a very fair price. For example, they are worth twice as much as Google Drive but offer 4 times more space. The end-to-end encryption system is a great success. The interface is very clean and clear and it also allows you to assemble folders in a very comfortable way. A detail that is not minor, is that it is a service used by many who share their files and this allows you to have a connection

Pros

\- Lots of free entry space. - Guaranteed security - Encrypted files - Well known and used service

Cons

\- The price - Some slowness when uploading files

I made the change looking for a little more space for cold storage of some backups that needed to be done.

### "Review request"

March 24, 2024

3.0

Pros

Ranking, upload and download speed, privacy.

Cons

The uploaded data decreases if the Internet is weak, or temporarily interrupted, and forbidden things are published on it, such as forbidden pornographic clips, child rape, etc., with secret links that are exchanged... and paid courses.

### "Famous hosting site"

September 7, 2022

5.0

I always had the feeling of security when using Mega, because when it came to downloading files, I never saw advertisements and Pop-ups like other hosting sites.

Pros

1) It was the fastest hosting site I've come across in the last 15 years. 2) User can host and download without advertisements or pop-ups. 3) The site has the free version. 4) The user can also download on the cell phone even if they are not using the mobile version application.

Cons

Nowadays you have a lot of limitation on the amount of daily download, but it makes up for not so heavy files.

### "Un excelente servicio, pero con tasas de cuota algo mejorables."

October 15, 2022

5.0

Un excelente servicio que no te dejara defraudado, tiene varias herramientas que lo hacen destacar al resto. Pero en ocaciones, sus tasas de descarga y cuota son algo elevadas. Recomendado sin duda.

Pros

Es de los principales servicios para almacenamiento en la nube que existen, por lo que el rendimiento y calidad son garantizados. Muy buen diseño y funcionalidad, con herramientas de encriptado incluidas.

Cons

Su cuota de uso es algo mejorable, con tan solo descargar unos cuantos GB de archivos te pide que esperes hasta horas para poder realizar la siguiente descarga

### "Ottima alternativa ai software più noti "

September 9, 2023

4.0

Pros

MEGA è ormai un must tra i miei colleghi per quanto riguarda la trasmissione di file.Tra i migliori punti di forza del servizio si hanno sicuramente la facilità di utilizzo e la possibilità di caricare e condividere file di qualsiasi dimensione attraverso un semplice link.

Cons

Unica pecca è il costo a mio avviso elevato per poter accedere alla versione premium del software.

### "Ottimo Cloud "

February 2, 2023

5.0

Pros

Per il momento mi sto trovando bene, Mega a differenza di altri dispone di un' applicazione per ogni sistema operativo, Windows, Mac e Linux. Per me che uso sia Windows che Linux è molto importante. Il Cloud funziona a meraviglia e la velocità di trasferimento dei file è buona per il mio utilizzo.

Cons

Non ho trovato aspetti negativi nel mio utilizzo

June 30, 2023

5.0

Pros

Velocissimo sia un upload che download, per me MEGA rimane il software di condivisione files migliore in circolazione. La possibilità di mettere in pausa un download o upload, e rimetterlo successivamente, mi ha conquistato.

Cons

Per ora mi ci sono trovato bene, non ho avvertito problemi.

### "Super web-app and sync clients"

September 23, 2022

5.0

Pros

The web app is amazing. I wish all the competitors has such smooth UI and UX. Especially saving from shared folders. The sync client is pretty smooth as well, with detailed updates about the sync options.

Cons

The cap on data transfer is comprehensible but seems a bit low for critical use (i.e. when moving between computers).

### "Does mega live up to its name?"

October 11, 2021

3.0

Pros

MEGA's price is really impactful, it makes it competitive as well as their security features (encryption). I find really useful their previews for media and documents and the great ammount of storage. The user interface is clean and simple.

Cons

The customer support is poor and the user experience could be better since the download speed varies. The collaboration tools are weak.

### "Mega Storage with Mega Features"

April 28, 2023

4.0

I have been using MEGA cloud storage for some time now, and I must say that it has become one of my favorite cloud storage solution.

Pros

MEGA offers secure cloud storage with end-to-end encryption, which ensures the privacy and security of user data. It provides a generous free storage capacity of 50 GB, with affordable subscription plans for users who need more storage.

Cons

While MEGA offers secure cloud storage, the encryption can cause slower upload and download speeds compared to other cloud storage services.
