A bit fiddly, but at least it can be done.Īny data already in your cloud account will then download to your PC, while any files or folders copied or updated into this folder will upload in turn back to your MEGA account online. These are housed inside a MEGA folder that’s created inside your personal Documents folder – if this doesn't suit, take a trip to the Sync tab of the program's settings to delete the default choice and add your choice of location instead.

Once installed, you’re able to either sync the entire contents of your MEGA drive or just specific folders within it to your computer. Having 50GB to hand is very useful, but to make the most of it you’ll want a client that can make uploading and syncing data between your machines effortless. Be wary, however: there are no password-reset options, so if you forget it, any data not shared with others will be lost. Your password acts as the master encryption key, so if it's strong enough it should be impervious even to brute-force attacks. Second, MEGA promises really tight security: 2048-bit RSA encryption no less. First, there’s the offer of 50GB free storage space (capped to 10GB bandwidth a month), with paid-for plans offering 500GB/1TB monthly bandwidth from $11 a month or $120 a year. Does the world really need yet another cloud backup storage solution? The answer is yes when you look more closely at what MEGA, the brainchild of Kim Dotcom, has to offer.
