And Microsoft SkyDrive.

But MEGA cloud storage is not so well known, although it offers unlimited free use as much as 50Gb available immediately after registration!

If such a substantial “increase” to your hard drive wouldn’t hurt you, and you want to find out how to get those same 50 gigabytes and manage them effectively, then read today’s review!

Where did the MEGA.NZ service come from?

Since you are going to entrust the service with some of your personal data, it would be a good idea to find out where it actually came from and who is behind it...

Surely you have heard about such storage as Megaupload. It was closed in 2012 by decision of the US authorities - those involved in the creation of the service, including its founder Kim Dotcom, were accused by the FBI of copyright infringement (storage and distribution of licensed content). Exactly a year later, Kim Dotcom launched new service on the domain mega.co.nz.

Currently, the cloud login is available at mega.nz, so if you come across similar reviews of this repository, where mega co or mega co nz will be indicated as the address, be aware that they are hopelessly outdated :)

Is registration required for Mega?

On the main page of the repository you will see a big red button inviting you to drag files onto it and start using the service.

One gets the feeling that registration is not necessary to work at all. In principle, this is true - you can immediately upload some of your files to the cloud and even see them in the storage. However, without registration, your downloaded data will be deleted from the storage after closing the page or browser:

So come through standard process registration, after which you immediately receive 50 gigabytes of space in the cloud completely free of charge!

Necessary settings immediately after registration

Mega nz will pay great attention to data storage security and confidentiality. We’ll talk about this in detail a little later, but for now I’ll point out what you must do immediately after registration.

Since the service does not store your password on its servers, if you lose it, you will not be able to regain access to your account. To avoid similar problem, you need to download and save the recovery key on your PC:

This necessary measure a precaution that should not be neglected! Agree, it will be a shame to lose all your files in the cloud just because you forgot your password.

How to use Mega storage

In the menu on the left side of the window, click on the cloud icon:

You will find yourself in your cloud drive. Using the tools at the top of the window, you can create new folders, upload files there, and even download ready-made folders with files from your computer.

Working with the storage interface is no more difficult than using Windows Explorer. Right-clicking on a folder or file brings up a context menu with a whole range of options.

With it you can:

• Receive information about an element (size, creation date, etc.)
• Assign color tags and add to Favorites
• Rename
• Move within the disk, copy, delete
• Download
• Open general access to folders
• Create a public link to download files

The developers, of course, took into account their negative experience with Megaupload, so when creating a public link, the following window will be shown, with the terms of which you only have to agree:

The service does not impose any restrictions on the size of downloaded files! Within your 50 GB quota, you can download thousands of large files, or, for example, two files of 25 gigabytes each. However, keep in mind that browsers themselves have functional limitations on the size of the files they can download. Browsers are the most “vulnerable” in this regard Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari, which do not yet fully support HTML5.

Creating shared access to file folders

You can organize general access to any folder in your online storage (share it). To do this, perform the following manipulations:

1. Right-click on it and in the drop-down context menu select the "Sharing" option.
2. Please enter your address Email the user who needs to share access to the folder (you can immediately specify a whole list of users).
3. Select the access method: read-only, read-write, or full access.

After this, the specified user will receive an email with a link to access the shared folder.

How to create a link to a file in Mega nz storage

In addition to access to folders, you can allow any users to download from your storage some separate files.

To do this you need to click right click mouse on any file in the cloud and select the “Get link” option:

1. Link without decryption key
2. Link with key

Also in this window you can separately copy the decryption key itself. What is the difference between these types of links? And it is very important!

In the first case, the user, having followed the link, will have to enter the decryption key that you provide to him in a special window to download the file. And in the second case, the user follows a link with a security key already “hardwired” and can immediately download the file.

For an overview of the storage functionality and settings not included in the review, see this video:

Why can Mega be trusted with personal data?

1. The developers pay the utmost attention to the confidentiality of stored data. The abbreviation MEGA itself stands for Mega Encrypted Global Access, i.e. Mega Encrypted Global Access).
2. Encrypt files directly in the browser using the AES algorithm.
3. The service does not store user passwords to access the cloud drive.
4. All files in the storage are encrypted and cannot be viewed without a security key. Even if attackers gain access to the company's servers, they will not be able to read user data.
5. Even for files intended for public downloading, access keys can be generated separately.

Hello.

Some users forced me to write this article with their whining. More and more cool materials began to appear on the site, which are available for download using the Mega cloud storage. As time has shown, many users are not able to download the course. The question immediately arises: “Why do you need a course if you can’t even do the simplest action, how to download the material?!” If earlier these comments caused a smile and laughter, now it has become a little annoying and those who write such comments resemble a primeval sponge, as in the preview for this article. In the future (in the very near future), voluminous cool materials are expected that will be available for downloading through Mega. If you have problems downloading- read this article, since this issue will not be raised again and no one will, for the sake of some users, break materials into hundreds of pieces and re-upload them to other repositories. Users who continue to whine will be sent to learn PC skills and will be temporarily isolated from society.

So, let's look at why Mega? Everything is very simple. For us, this is a convenient storage facility, where there are no restrictions on the volume of uploaded material, where the disk capacity is large, and where complaints are taken seriously. Materials for users are available for free, so either learn to download or don’t download at all. Let's assume you found required course and it's uploaded to Mega. First of all, make sure that the storage itself opens. If Mega is not available in your country (some providers block storage), use a proxy or VPN to bypass the block. Now the simplest thing left is to download the material. There are 2 most simple ways downloads:

1 way. The the method will work for download small files. To download large files, use method 2. First way- This is to use downloading through a regular browser. As practice has shown, it works best with Mega Google browser Chrome. Therefore, we recommend using it. How to download via browser: First the material is loaded into the cache, then after full load you can save it to any folder (if folder selection is not configured, the material is saved to the downloads folder).

Click the “Download in Browser” button and wait for the download to complete. You can't close the tab!

You can also use software from Mega - MegaSync and synchronize files, but we have not tried this method of downloading, although some users praise this particular method. Also, according to some users, for successful downloading, files need to be imported to your cloud drive, but in general this is not necessary. After downloading large file via a browser, we recommend clearing the browser cache, for example, using the CCleaner utility.

Method 2. Download using the Mipony program. Mipony program can be downloaded from the official website. We recommend using this method, since the program is very convenient and has many advantages, for example, the software supports resuming files (like a torrent) and does not create temporary files, unlike downloading through a browser. Some antiviruses may swear at the program, but there is nothing wrong with that. The program does not steal anything and is not malicious. Paranoid people can use the program on a virtual machine. Install the program (everything is very simple) and launch it. First of all, open the “Options” tab and make sure that there is no speed limit there.

In today's article I will tell you that a new cloud service Mega has appeared on the Internet. Many people face the problem of storing and transmitting information. More and more Internet users are interested in alternative storage services. And now the new one is finally launched cloud service information storage Mega.

Cloud service Mega

In this article, we will analyze with you what is good and convenient cloud storage service Mega. How much information can be stored on it? How does a cloud file storage service differ from other storage services?

I was faced with the fact that in my work there was a need for reliable storage of information, if necessary, transfer of files to third parties, speed of file transfer, and the availability of a large amount of information storage. Well, the most important thing, I already mentioned this, is the reliability of information storage.

Best cloud service

I surfed the Internet and read about various cloud services. I read about comparing cloud services. Well, I didn’t like any of the available cloud storage services on the network. This is a small amount of data storage. That is a low speed of information transfer. There are restrictions on the size of transferred files. Then you need to pay for storing information. Not all cloud services provide guarantees for stored files. None of the services I reviewed met all the complex requirements that I mentioned above.

I searched for a long time and accidentally came across free service cloud storage Mega. I liked its characteristics described in the article. Moreover, the cloud service has just opened. Its launch took place on January 19 in the evening. Coincidence or not, at exactly the same time, the Megaupload website was closed a year ago. According to information available, within 10 minutes the entire channel capacity to the main provider center in Germany was occupied. Within an hour, the first 100,000 users were registered. Within two hours, 250,000 were already registered, and in less than a day - 1 million.

For information:

The new cloud service for remote data storage, Mega, was created by the company of Kim Dotcom, the founder of the Megaupload service, which was closed exactly a year ago on the initiative of the US Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. And Dotcom himself and his colleagues were arrested on charges of piracy.

Currently, the Mega cloud service offers simple storage of information in the cloud, but according to the founder, the company soon promises to connect access to the service from mobile devices, synchronization tools for iPad devices, iPhone and Android devices, as well as assemblies file system for Windows. All files uploaded to the service are encrypted. No one except the user can find out what they contain.

The Mega service provides 50 GB of storage for free, and for paid users prices start at $9.99 per month for 500 GB of disk space and 2 TB of traffic.

See for yourself. It allocates 50 GB of disk space to everyone who registers with the service. The speed of downloading and uploading files is limited only throughput channel of your Internet provider. No size restrictions transferred file. And the most important thing that really attracted me to this service is the ability to encrypt the transferred file.

According to the developers, third parties (including the developers of the Mega cloud service themselves) cannot find out what is stored in your cloud storage. All data located on the service is stored in encrypted form and can only be accessed by entering your password and login. And as you know, only you own this data. And I hope you keep them in a safe place.

Many years of practice show that it is convenient to store all passwords in several places: write them down in a notepad and store them in in electronic format. There is a large arsenal of programs for this.

The Mega cloud storage service is very different from other services. big advantage regarding the inaccessibility of information to third parties. Even when they are interested in your information law enforcement agencies. If, for example, law enforcement agencies have obtained permission to access your cloud file storage. For reasons known to you and me, I spoke about them above, they will not be able to decipher the information that you store there.

All of the above confidently pushed me to choose the Mega cloud storage service. In my opinion, it will take first place among existing similar cloud services, including the most famous cloud storage services– Yandex, Google Drive and Dropbox.

Well, friends, let's move on to the practical part. Now you will learn how to get yourself 50 GB of disk space for free in the Mega cloud file storage.

Now let's start filling up our cloud disk. You can upload both individual files and entire folders to the cloud from your computer. To do this, select “Upload folder” or “Upload file” in the menu section. In our case, I downloaded a separate zipped file. To do this, I clicked on the “Upload File” tab and selected a file on my computer that needed to be uploaded to my cloud file storage.

After clicking on the “Open” button, the download of the selected file begins, and at a very decent speed.

Next, in the next window, check the boxes in what form you will send the link. For security reasons, you can send a separate download link and a separate key to the file, or you can send everything at once, see for yourself which is more convenient for you. Click on the “Copy to Clipboard” tab. And we send the link in a way convenient for you.

Having received the link, the user, when clicking on it, is taken to the download page. And downloads the file or folder you transferred. The file or folder is transferred in encrypted form.
