Best overall price and features for any cloud service!

I've used their desktop app to sync my files to the cloud for years. It works great, and instantly syncs everything as files are updated in real time. The plans and storage/bandwidth offered are an excellent deal, and unmatched!

I also recently started using their VPN service, and it is the best one I've used so far!

Very pleased, thanks!

This trash wasted half my day with random download stalls and nonsense error messages, before telling me to pay for a plan.

Their desktop app doesn't even work

Their desktop app doesn't even work. Tried to download a simple 2 GB file, and it kept saying "retrying", "starting" without downloading anything. Then the app had the audacity to say I reached my download quota even though it didn't download a single byte of the file, begging for me to buy a subscription. Yeah, I'm gonna buy a subscription and pay for a broken website / app lol. I wish people would stop uploading to MEGA, link to download something; "crap, it's a MEGA link". The download quota is ridiculous, let alone saying I reached the quota when no file was even downloaded. Awful, just awful.

Great support

Great support for the pro package, a couple of issues at first which turned out to be operator error (not uncommon), mainly to do with camera uploads folder being inside the sync folders.
Mega VPN also works well for me on three different operating systems.

I currently believe in the quality of…

I currently believe in the quality of MEGA, a cloud service provider.
(The following content was translated by Google)
1. Privacy and security: Because it has a secure end-to-end encryption mechanism, and the encryption key is only owned by the user.

2. Very stable file transfer speed: Some cloud service providers upload a large number of files very slowly for unknown reasons, but Mega is really very stable. 3. Good desktop software experience: Because some cloud service providers have software designs such as Windows explorer.exe, it will Mapping a virtual hard drive means that every time I upload a file, it is equivalent to directly copying the file to the C drive, especially Google Drive. This is why I don’t like to touch it. MEGA desktop software does not do this at all.

4. File integrity verification: Some cloud service providers will save the cost of data storage and allow users to secretly compress the file when uploading it and only save the compressed version. They think that as long as the file can be used normally, it can be opened only when special software is needed. The files may encounter some problems, such as .ENC .ldbk, because the following situation may occur. The file uploaded is obviously good, but the downloaded file is directly damaged and cannot be read normally, or the video file cannot be played, etc., but mega will not encounter this problem at all.
