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

I really like the app overall. Reasonable prices, end-to-end encryption, and easy to use. But when I upload or download files, many times, the notification gets stuck even though the upload/download has already finished; the download speed is also inconsistent; lastly, I really hope there'll be 'sort by name' in the gallery mode because I sort many of my pictures by name, not date.

It's all about marketing, if you have any problems they won't help. I have more than 19GB free storage but the system has bug so when I need to upload files there's automatic response said that cloud storage is full. They push me to buy the premium which mean that is not free cloud storage at all. Seems like the "free 20GB cloud storage" is just a marketing terms. After all if you don't use it for 1 year, they will automatically delete your uploaded file permanently.

Absolute garbage of an app and services. It cannot handle multiple files upload right. It takes me more than 1 hour to upload less than 50Mb of total amount of files. After 100%, then it just back to 0% all over again. As if a volatile child taking all things to put on the storage, but couldnt even decide of what to upload first. The same kind of thing happened also on the iOS version. An absolute complete garbage !
