In fact, a mid 19th Century telegraphist is simply not able to transfer your files faster using Morse code than Mega, a cloud storage and file hosting service offered by Mega Limited, an Auckland-based company, as simply even loading the landing page containing the link to the downloadable file would require inhuman amount of work and hours of input and transmission of Morse code from the aforementioned telegraphist to transmit the data contained within the download page to you to achieve even remotely comparable results, thus revealing the lingering fact that just because you lack the technological know-how to operate a personal computer in an acceptable fashion does not mean that the internet service Mega Limited, an Auckland-based company provides would ultimately be lackluster or unusable by the average user.
But I tried a couple of hours later and I was able to upload my files faster than Dropbox or Google Drive. This is actually kind of pissing me off. I wanted to download one item, not put all of my items on the internet. Is there any way to remove them from the cloud and back to my comp? When trying to upload my files, it gets to a stage and says I should free up space on my phone otherwise my upload is disabled. I do not recommend this product. Secretly autoinstalled on my computer without my knowledge — annoyed me endless pop ups and took an hour to uninstall.
This is an attempt to blackmail by annoyance to get you to buy — then punish you with 1 hour delete time. This is bullshit. Do not buy. I am very pleased with MEGA. I have been using the service for seven months with NO issues at all. The transfer speeds have been good in London, Nottingham and Liverpool. A lot of speed transfer issues are to do with your service provider and amount of net traffic they have to deal with.
Perhaps I have been lucky. Kind regards to all. During a few weeks mega is blocked by the Belgium gouvernement. They say it has something to do whit the licence.
Can you help me and whole Belgium, using Scarlet as provider, whit this problem? Get real. Add to the fact that your PC is having to encrypt every file before uploading. I established a new free Mega account yesterday, and experienced nothing but troubles in trying to sync the cloud with only a MB of initial data! Upload speeds were extremely slow taking seconds for 4KB gif files!
I was a former user of DropBox, and switched to Copy. Initial setup and syncing for both were a breeze and automatic. Mega is slow and error-prone — I spent the last entire day attempting to have it un successfully sync only MB of files that Copy. Having done lots of research on the topic of cloud storage, my conclusion is that if you want your files to be completely secure, there are currently few other options as safe as MEGA.
I just moved a whole load of files from Dropbox over to MEGA, by dropping them in a folder synced to mega. Speed was excellent using University wifi in northern England. Last night I checked every folder had the correct number of files.
I noticed this morning that some folders I moved within the local mega sync folder had completely vanished, along with all their content, and 2 files had zero file size.
I found Dropbox utterly reliable, always syncing within seconds. A few minutes later it might start chugging away. It would be great if one could Preview images and other documents besides seeing they have a file name or folder name. Otherwise the right and or wrong file would need to be downloaded to view and check it before working on or modifying it. But at lease being able to Preview would get a big help! Excellent service, but now is too limited: 6 hours wait to download files.
Dont waste your money! A few times it Will kinda stall on an upload but I think that was just poor interaction with the gui because it would show no progress and then all of a sudden be complete.
Also never had a missing file either. I do have advice for anyone uploading huge files though. My suggestion is that you zip your files, one huge file will upload and download quicker than like a thousand small separate ones. There are a few things you should take into consideration like firewalls and your internet settings before blaming mega.
I only say this because so many people my self included think the speeds are great. On top of that 50gb for free is a hell of a deal. They do have sync clients now, and they have a sync client also for linux while big Google never bothered creating a linux client for google drive….
Mega limits my transfer after 50 kB or so, stating I have reached my limit, and wants me to wait 7 h before a new attempt. It is ridiculous to offer 50 GB if you cannot sync even small files at a decent rate. I have been using mega for several months already to download some videos. Bandwidth quota exceeded Your download could not proceed because it would take you over the current free transfer allowance for your IP address.
To enhance this limit, you can register an account. This will not only give you ample extra bandwidth but also 50 GB of secure storage space in the cloud — for free. I am already logged in and I have been researching about it online and its said that it will refill after 10 or minutes.
My computer has been shut down for more than 6 hours and more than 24 hours since I tried using mega again but i still get this message. I have to download so slow! What a poor service from MEGA!!! I have been using MEGA for three months with no problems.
Average upload and good downlod speed for countries with good internet like Bulgaria. However I backup my most important files to another location. I am about to quit using mega, I am currently looking at alternatives. Initially I fond the syncing brilliant, although it takes ages to complete the first sync, sometimes days if it is a large folder.
One first sync is over new or updated files in the sync are upload almost instantly. My big problems are when I lost a few discs which affected two syncs, for one of syncs I was able to recover the data from the disc except for a few files, the other I could not.
I recreated folders on a new machine and configured folders to sync with the mega folders, I expected the mega syncs to restore missing files. Both syncs reported that there were pending downloads, 10 in one case and in other but neither ever completed. With mega browser interface you can select a folder to download.
The folder file download did not seem to do anything, the download folder as zip file also had issues. Initially the folder I wanted to download was 4. I realised there was a sub folder that I no longer required a deleted this sub folder from the mega backup. The brought the size of backup down to 3. It did take 2 hours to complete the download.
Normally I would expect to download a 4gb file in under an hour. If you ever want to recover a really large sync folder, I would suspect you would find it almost impossible. The 10 files in other sync I could identify and download individually. I have only used free version, I do not know if things are better if you pay but I am looking for something better. Realtime backup which I want so as I work on my files they are being updated. Yesterday I accidentally modified a very important file that I had just moved from one folder to another.
This way I could recover this file perfectly. Large capacity drives, such as the WD Passport 3Tb drive, offer a good amount of secure if you use it properly and reliable back-up for around USD, and is not subject to the whims of on-line cloud storage companies or hackers, when used wisely.
If you are concerned about others either gaining access to your files or other information, putting that stuff in a publicly accessible place that is the target of a lot of hackers and others, such as NSA, etc. Stay away! Nowhere does it say your 50 free gigs is a time limited trial. You start with a base of 15GB, and get a time-limited registration bonus of 35GB. Otherwise 50Gb of free storage is a definite plus. I suppose it could be the encoding time on my end.
OK… None of the other Cloud storage services that I have tested have come even close to the transfer speeds of Mega. I was able to transfer a 1GB file in about 30 minutes. Downloads are nothing short of incredibly fast using the Mega App on the PC.
It topped my downstream speed at 35MB per second!!! Yes 35 megabytes of data every second!!! JPG but it still uploads them. Since Mega has a different goal. After 3 months the account can only hold 15 GB. With MegaSync installed I can actually get a shareable link and view previous versions of a file through two options in the context menu. The only think missing oddly is two-step verification.
I am guessing it will be added soon. There download speed has decreased dramatically it seems its going to die a slow death hopefully for good this time. Its free options are what attracted me now it turned to dust. Avoid Mega. One of the slowest upload and download cloud storage companies around.

Love this service. The Linux app just works — no fuss, no fiddling, no pain. Finally, a cloud service that integrates across all the systems i used. As dropbox has pulled back from Linux lately, nice to see Mega raising the bar. Thanks Mega!! They will delete your files without warning even when they are completely harmless and legal , plus their Terms of Service are really vague.
I have music files and i check it everyday. Nothing really happen. I just think someone like your friends or someone you know, knows your password and trying to mess with your account. Or just maybe you forgot that you changed your setting or just deleted your photos or just forgot to back your photos up. Has anyone considered the ownership of mega. However, NZ does have an open register for companies.
I wish I have red comments on this site before I instaled mega on my laptop and backuped my files. Only reason I did not use google drive is because I could not purchase it from my country and 17GB I have on this drive are almost full with my gmail data. When I realised what happened I have deleted my mega account immediately and I am pretty sure I will not open new one again. Hi there. Not sure if the site moderators are still monitoring this article.
If true, what is the time-limit before they start deleting files? The free version gives you 50gb for a few weeks then you must pay otherwise files are deleted. You can only download 1 gb then you must wait 6 hours before trying again. It will pause between sessions. It does not support Firefox and insists on installing megasyc desktop if you use ff.
Basically it looks good until you want to download or share files then it costs. Great support on Windows, Mac and Linux along with great apps for iOS and Android to allow you to access your storage anywhere. An extra bonus is all of the applications are open source, with the code on their GitHub page, if that is important to you. Please keep walking if you never complain about their transfer speed. I am a customer from Australia. You can avoid all this lengthy process by simply using our MegaDownloader that will automatically grab the relevant files for you.
