MEGA
MEGA: Online privacy for everyone — secure encrypted cloud storage by default.
MEGA is an encrypted cloud storage platform that combines file storage and sharing with communication and privacy tools. It uses zero-knowledge, user-controlled end-to-end encryption, meaning only the data owner and authorized users hold the keys, and it follows GDPR protections for all users.
Core capabilities include cloud storage with sync and backup across desktop, mobile, and web apps; private folder sharing with permissions, password-protected links, and expiring links; MEGA Chat for messaging, calls, and video meetings; MEGA VPN with ad blocking; MEGA Pass, a zero-knowledge password manager with autofill; and MEGA S4, S3-compatible object storage. MEGA CMD supports AI agents running an LLM on a user's account while preserving zero-knowledge encryption. A migration tool transfers files from Google Drive, Dropbox, and Box.
MEGA is aimed at individuals, freelancers, startups, and enterprises. A free plan provides 20 GB of storage with limited transfer. Paid options include single-user Pro plans (Essential, Pro Lite, Pro I–III) with monthly or yearly billing, a Pro Flexi plan billed for storage used, and a Business plan for three or more users with user management, a minimum user count, and additional storage and transfer charged per TB. MEGA VPN and MEGA Pass are also available as standalone subscriptions.
