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.

All MEGA client-side application code is published on GitHub, for transparency. The code of our Android mobile app is located at: https://github.com/meganz/android

Ratings and reviews

Solution for disappearing unfinished downloads when upgrading from a free subscription to paid -- it will seem like they disappeared but if you go to the transfers window (which will appear to be empty), and click on the three dots at the top right, and choose 'select', they will all return and resume downloading as you purchased extra transfer amount. (You don't need to select anything). I thought I was going to have to start downloading over again but by clicking around I found this solution!

Great app. Works well. Removed 1 star because the marketing is misleading. It says you will get extra storage if you add your phone. What they don't tell you is that the extra space is only for a few months. Same thing when you invite someone: you get extra space BUT only for a while. They want you to load up your data and then prevent you from uploading anything else once the extra free space expires to force you to pay. Your service is good, no need to do these shady tactics.

Overall, great app. Before the update, I had trouble with the camera uploads as it would seem to turn on by itself, but after the update, it seems like it got fixed. The usability of the app is still great as it's easy to navigate just like the web version, and the implementation is great too as you can change the file location that it would download. However, I wish that there was a sync equivalent on the mobile app just as MEGAsync on the desktop.
