MEGA is a cloud storage and file-sharing service, launched by Kim Dotcom, that emphasizes end-to-end encryption of stored files. Files are encrypted and decrypted on the user's device before upload, so MEGA cannot access their contents, and the service supports secure file sharing via encrypted links, real-time chat, and video calls within the same platform. Desktop sync clients, mobile apps, and a command-line/API toolkit are all available for managing encrypted storage.
MEGA targets privacy-conscious individuals, journalists, and businesses who want cloud storage with client-side encryption rather than relying on the provider's own security guarantees. The free plan includes 20 GB of storage, while paid Pro Lite, Pro I, Pro II, and Pro III tiers scale up storage and monthly transfer quotas for heavier users, alongside separate Business plans.
MEGA is available on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Linux, and the web. Downloading public shared links does not require an account, though uploading and syncing files does, and an open-source SDK and API let developers build on top of MEGA's encrypted storage.
