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

I've been evaluating a few file storage/sync options after looking for alternatives to Dropbox, and I was genuinely hoping and expecting MEGA to be the answer. Things were smooth at the start, but after about a month of using it to handle two-way sync for a handful of small text files, it barely works. It syncs with a massive delay (despite my many attempts to optimize this behaviour) and half of the screens in the UI fail to load, often prompting the OS to ask me if I want to kill the app.

Absolutely Love this app!!!! I have been using Mega since 2016 and it has collected all of my personal files (photos, videos, pdfs, documents, files, music, ect...) over about 15 different cell phones now (been through a bunch more phones then my first review). I know I can count on it to keep my memories safe and I love being able to download the app onto anything and have all my pictures, videos, documents, music and more. Highly recommend to anyone I know.

I specified the app to download in the folder I wanted. I had exceeded quota so i had to wait for the rest of the files, however, that is not my issue. The problem was once my wait was over, it began downloading the files in a completely different folder (inside the cache). Edit: MEGA eventually moved them to the appropriate folder but also stated that the transfer for the files were done before moving. This is misleading.
