About this app

MEGA provides user-controlled encrypted cloud storage that’s accessed with web browsers and dedicated apps for mobile devices. Unlike other cloud storage providers, your data is encrypted and decrypted by your client devices only and never by us.

Upload files from your smartphone or tablet, then search, download, stream, view, share, rename or delete them from any device, anywhere. Share folders with your contacts and see their updates in real time.

You can automatically sync your local data with your Cloud drive, ensuring your important files are always safe and accessible across all your devices. With our sync functionality, you can back up any local folder on your device to MEGA effortlessly. Additionally, our backup feature allows you to set up a one-way sync by selecting specific folders to back up seamlessly.

MEGA’s strong and secure end-to-end encryption means we cannot access or reset your password. You MUST remember the password and make sure to back up your account recovery key. 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 free storage in 5 GB increments through our MEGA Achievements Programme.

Subscriptions renew automatically for successive periods of the same duration at the same price as the initial period chosen. To manage your subscriptions, simply tap on the Play Store icon on your device, sign in with your Google ID (if you haven’t already done so), then tap on the MEGA app.

Ratings and reviews

The only reason I am giving this 2 stars is because WHEN it works it works well. HOW EVER, most of the time this app will either; completely lock up on launch or when you transfer, start to download a file get stuck and NEVER finish, take forever to load a stored video or image, or even flat out just not load my Cloud Drive folder. This will even happen on a stable internet connection. Additionally every couple updates some or most of the app features stop working right or they break something.

Decent storage app. Mainly use it as an intermediary for downloading, on account of its media player being horrendous. Any video bearing a resolution higher than what your device supports refuses to play. I'm not sure why they decided that was a good idea. Maybe there's merits I'm simply not seeing, or they're just lazy.

I had meant to buy the monthly teir as I would only need it for a few days at this time. But I was charged for an annual subscription. Even though I was being shown the monthly rate at the checkout screen. I requested a refund almost immediately so I could purchase the monthly subscription instead. But it was denied. My finances are completely screwed for the rest of the month atleast.
