Description
MEGA provides user-controlled encrypted cloud storage that’s accessed with web browsers and dedicated apps. Unlike other cloud storage providers, your data is encrypted and decrypted by your devices only and never by us.
Upload files from your smartphone or tablet, then search, store, download, stream, view, share, rename or delete them any time, from any device, anywhere. Share folders with your contacts and see their updates in real time.
MEGA’s strong and secure end-to-end encryption means we cannot access or reset your password for you. You MUST remember your password and make sure to back up your account recovery key, which is used to reset your password. Losing your password and the account recovery key will result in lost access to your files.
Enjoy the security and privacy of encrypted one-on-one and group chats and meetings. Our zero-knowledge encryption means that your messages, audio and video calls are safe, secure, and private. Collaborate seamlessly with your team members or friends and family with direct integration with our Cloud drive for sending and receiving encrypted files.
MEGA offers generous free storage for all registered users. You can get even more storage in 5 GB increments through the MEGA Achievements programme as well.
Need more storage? Check out our affordable MEGA subscription plans that offer plenty more space at https://mega.io/pricing.
Subscriptions renew automatically for successive periods of the same duration at the same price as the initial period chosen. You can cancel the automatic renewal of your MEGA subscription no later than 24 hours before your next subscription payment is due, via your Apple account settings page.
All MEGA client-side application code is published on GitHub, for transparency. The code of our iOS mobile app is located at: https://github.com/meganz/ios

MEGA has been my favourite ever since i started using it, and it only improves its service over time. You cant really look back after using MEGA!
It has unbreakable encryption, which only you hold the encryption key too, meaning nobody can ever access or view your files!
I do have one minor improvement, this one bugs me too. They only use a single Camera Upload Folder, which means when i use my two phones (one for work, one for personal) my work photos and personal photos are all messed up together in the one folder.
I would highly recommend MEGA having individual upload folders inside the Camera Upload Folder e.g. All photos would upload into the relevant device folder, inside the Camera Uploads folder, For Example:
Camera Uploads / Lukes iPhone X - Your second folder would be: Camera Uploads / Lukes Work Phone etc.
I know of other providers that offer this setup, it would be great if MEGA updated this as well, having multiple device uploading into the single folder is a pain.

Words Can’t Express Enough...
I’ve been using MEGA for the past few years and have hardly had many problems with it - like any app, it has an occasional problem and sometimes the users are like testers... that all problems can easily be fixed if the developers are informed about/of it. (EG. Slow to load occasionally).
While many other services provide 1-5GB of free space, I’ve ALWAYS loved how MEGA gives 50GB and doesn’t expect or ask me to do anything in return, just to get it. As of lately, family/friends and I have had problems accessing a lot of the messengers in the iTunes App Store - when MEGA added the chat feature, it became so much easier for us to be able to stay in contact with each other (especially during the times when we don’t have cell/mobile credit for phone calls/sms). When video and calls arrive, I won’t have any reason to use other apps - I can just use the one... MEGA. 👍🏼

Not suitable for apple mobile products. Download only if you enjoy wasting time.
The task ahead was real simple: download video from mega iOS app to iPad Pro.
▪️Attempted to save video from mega to iOS photos, for whatever reason it couldn’t perform that simple task, despite there being adequate device storage available on my iPad. First caveat.
▪️Attempted to send the video from the mega app to my iCloud Drive instead - the stupid app sent a useless text file. 2nd caveat.
▪️In order to access the video from my mega account on my iPad I had to take the following steps (dealbreaker, no way in hell would I pay money to go through the following rigmarole):
1. Open mega web app in chrome (no way I’m downloading the desktop app after the iOS app proved to be literally useless.)
2. Download the video to my PC
3. Upload the video from my PC to iCloud web app
4. access the video from iCloud my iPad Pro
My next steps from here:
1. Delete this app to save precious device storage
2. Upgrade my iCloud storage plan
3. Never stray from apple again, iCloud isn’t perfect but it works. Without all the added rigmarole.
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m not prepared to waste precious time for what appears to be an encrypted cloud storage service with several caveats. Boxcryptor does the exact same thing (also, boxcryptor just works. Highly recommend to those who value their time.)
