Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros MEGA is used to store files in the cloud, the ease with which you can store files and share them with your friends and family is quite extensive, in addition, you can also use it to share files with your work colleague. This platform will manage to protect all your files with an encryption key and ensure that you can access them from any device. The things I liked the most were: - With the help of this platform you can upload the number of files you want, obviously you will have to access a payment plan and here the amount of space in the cloud you want, you can upload files simultaneously without any limit, you can upload up to 100 files at the same time without any problem. - Another thing that I love is the speed and speed of upload and download, and noticed that when uploading files, this platform uses up to 100% of my Internet capacity, the same thing happens when I download a file from this medium, all files are downloaded at full speed, without limiting it. - I also love the general interface of this platform, at the moment of logging in I can immediately access each of the folders that I have created within my account, manage the files, organize them and order them correctly with total comfort. - The prices are really low, you can purchase various plans and expand your storage capacity in the cloud without paying such a high price. - From the application for computers and the application for mobile devices you can upload all kinds of files while the application works in the background, you can minimize it and continue using other applications while your files are uploaded to the cloud. 1. It is easy and secure to use. 2. It is available on both desktop and mobile. 3. Furthermore, it syncs seamlessly across all the devices. 4. The upload and download rates are quite fast. 5. It gives free space up to GB for use in free account. - MEGA is a great application to store and share files, especially files with large data. - It gives free 50 GB storage to every user, which a lot higher than any other storage platform. - The desktop and the smartphone application synchronizes seamlessly, making the switch between devices smooth. - It is secure and easy to use. - It has a simple user interface which is easy to navigate. Privacy - Built in end to end encryption. 20 GB free storage. Built in functionality to play media files and view documents (pdf, txt). Available on desktops, mobile and as browser extension. - Has options to have better download speed when downloading files. - Secure website for cloud storage. - User-friendly interface. Cons MEGA is a platform that does everything possible so that users can enjoy excellent quality when it comes to storing files in the cloud, however, not everything is perfect within this platform, also in some negative factors that I will mention below. - This platform sometimes throws an error when uploading a specific file, when you try to upload a very heavy file, sometimes the file upload freezes, and the only option you have is to cancel it and upload it again. This problem has occurred to me on several occasions, I consider it to be a bug within the platform, and I hope this will be solved as soon as possible. - Another of the negative things about this platform is that it greatly limits the amount of downloads that can be made from your Internet address, for example, if you are not using a payment plan, and I try to upload many things through this means, the platform will limit the downloads for a few hours, sometimes the platform can limit the downloads for up to five or 10 hours, this is a real problem since there are many people who use this software for free, and it would be excellent if each one of they can download unlimited files. 1. The download and upload rate drops significantly after every few intervals of use. 2. The user interface can be improved. - The desktop version of the application is slower and less intuitive than the smartphone version. - The version has a lot of limitations like frequent pauses during uploads and downloads. Slow upload speeds especially when uploading large number of files in a folder. - Less features compared to other cloud storages. - Sometimes, download speed is inconsistent.		Pros from Real Users Pros The web page designs are fresh, uncluttered and easy to read. I currently use MEGA and I'm considering paying Proton for full-service VPN, e-mail and Drive combined. The price for 500 GB of combined storage is around $7 / month prepaid on a 2-year basis. I think that's very reasonable if you're willing to commit. I'm not a sharer but a daily user of cloud storage and Proton Drive's features suit me very well. The 'share' link leads recipients to a page with two options: Download Folder and Get your own Proton Drive. The shared folder is linked to the second option, not the first. But not reliably, only for those already logged in to the Proton service. For anyone else, the first option must be used, and then many more steps to access the actual file(s).
