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

There is an issue ,while downlaoding a 90 GB file through multiple sessions ( around 20 days) , downloaded file deleted itself several times , I tried to download it through every month of last three months. I even tried to copy the downloaded file portion to another portion of my memory , to restore it back when this happend , but without success too . looking for a rapid solution !

Currently still just in the beginning phase of use, but it's good overall for the price (free). The only real issue is the app's non-stop begging for me to enable notifications. I do not want to enable notifications. I'm not going to enable them. And when I just finished editing a file inside the app, I don't need a notification to know I edited it, so why bug me about enabling notifications at that time? It's an incredibly annoying "feature" for any app. For this app? It's downright awful.

Best cloud storage provider. Tons of space for free or cheap. Lightning fast transfer speeds. The mobile app is a very smooth experience too. Their support is prompt and efficient at least if you're on a paid plan. Everything is encrypted on the client side with your password, so good security, but one caveat: write your password and/or recovery key down since if you lose it you lose the data that was encrypted with it. They don't have your key so they can't recover it for you.
