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've been using the paid tier of Mega for the past few years and I'm still very satisfied. There's one thing that would make it perfect though. When I upload a file through the typical Android "Share" feature that you find in many apps, it's a bit of a pain to navigate through my tree structure to find the folder I wanna use. It would be great to have a search bar to do that. And that's true for other parts of the apps, like the "move to" interface. If I know the name of a folder it's easier.

Despite the good reviews of others, I have not really been able to use this app. Very difficult to upload anything to it at all! My Google photos storage is inaccessible to transfer across and anything else is time consuming and doesn't get uploaded even after several attempts. It's just too temperamental and a waste of time, sadly.

I love mega! I've been using it for a while now as drive wasn't working well. As many users already reported, sometimes the app crashes mid upload (mostly), but it seems that the performance is a little more stable with the new update. I just wish the UI could be better for photo storage though, only being able to see 4 pics and two halves at once (on mobile, of course) is a little frustrating, so I wish we could have a bigger grid size to select.
