Pros

I signed up to download videos from someone who stores on Mega - when I try to download I get the error “insufficient disk space” even though the video is only 1GB and I have 15GB free on my iPad and 3TB free in Mega.
LH

Lady H.

CEO

“I like the file sharing capability and storage even with the free version it will allow a certain amount of upload and download size for free.”
WL

Whitney L.

Small Business Owner

“I use it for sharing files and for storing large photos/videos i can’t keep on my device”
LM

Lorenzo M.

Web developer

Cons

“Storage space on the free plan is limited, and upgrading storage can become expensive over time compared to some competitors.”
SP

Sonu P.

Systems Analyst

“One downside is that storage can fill up quickly, especially with photos, videos, and backups.”
MM

Matthew M.

Holistic Nutritionist

“The web interface is as dated as 2015 and I don't even want to talk about sharing large video files with Windows clients.”
ET

Edward T.

Cons

“Also, pricing is not great compared to other vendors.”
MA

Md A.
