MEGA for iPhone

Quick summary

MEGA for iOS is a cloud storage client that provides 50 GB of free encrypted space and tools to manage files from an iPhone or iPad. It supports uploading and downloading photos, videos and documents, gives access to your cloud drive, and offers a paid upgrade for higher storage and transfer allowances.

Storage tiers and bandwidth

• Free accounts include 50 GB of encrypted storage.
• Paid plans raise capacity — for example, an upgrade unlocks roughly 500 GB of storage and increases monthly transfer allowances (around 1 TB of bandwidth on the next tier).

Primary capabilities

• Full access to your Cloud Drive folders so you can open and save documents directly to your device.
• Upload photos and videos straight from your iOS camera roll to the cloud.
• Manage files in the app: rename, move, and edit items stored in your account.
• View and browse images in an organized gallery that sorts by date and resembles the native iOS photo layout.
• Reach inbox messages and cloud-stored contacts from within the app.

Offline use and settings

• The app shows how much of your quota is used and lets you set a maximum amount of device storage for offline files.
• Files marked for offline access can be played or viewed without an internet connection — useful for music playback or reference documents.
• At the moment, automatic photo-sync (Photo Stream-style background uploads) is not available on iOS, unlike the Android client. The developer has indicated they may add this in a future release.

User interface and ease of use

• The interface is straightforward: a bottom navigation bar gives quick access to drive, inbox, and contacts.
• There is no guided tour or in-app help on first launch, so new users might need to explore the app to find all features.
• The image viewer provides a clean, date-based layout that’s easy to scan.

Bottom line

MEGA’s iOS app is a convenient way to access encrypted cloud storage from a mobile device. It lacks automatic photo syncing for now, but offers robust manual upload options, offline file support, and straightforward file management — making it a solid choice for saving space and conserving mobile data.
