  • Problem with order of files in offline downloaded folders

    Great feature- to download entire folders with files. But after that, I can’t properly share the downloaded files with another app because the order of downloaded files seems to be incorrectly shown. I open a file in the offline downloaded list and click on the share button. Then I can share the file to another app, say , a book reader. But the book reader opens a different file, also from the list of downloaded offline files. This happens systematically with all downloaded offline files when there are many in a folder with sub folders. Please fix!

  • Can’t transfer files over to other apps

    So in order to transfer specific files over to my other apps I have to open up Filza on my jailbroken iDevice go into this app’s documents folder and move the file inside the documents folder into another app’s documents folder. Also not having easy access to my offline documents that I have downloaded is really annoying and I would implore you to fix that in the next update please I’m sick of the transfers tab being stuck in some somewhere. Otherwise good app if only they could increase the transfer limit so you can also use all 50 gigabytes of that free cloud storage as well.

  • Wonderful app! But...

    As the title says, this app is wonderful! But I have just one, albeit lengthy complaint. The app doesn't play videos on it very well. With shorter than usual videos, like 7 second long ones, I found that the audio gets cut off sooner than intended, nor does the visual part of the video come in. With longer videos, like 20 minute ones, they take ages to load. And relevant to all of them, they're never quite done loading even when the videos play, and take longer to be finished. All of the above mentioned wears down my patience quite a lot and could benefit from some tweaking. That is all I have to say, thank you for reading.

  • It’s Great But Then...

    I’ve had this app for a while now and I’ve never truly been one to complain about it. That being said the app functions perfectly and up until this point I’ve never had any problems with it, until maybe last night when I was told I reached my queued data limit and that anything I might try to download will be stopped completely or just be interrupted. To remedy the situation I cleared out every thing, to the point to where it look like I had downloaded the app for the first time, however with the app completely cleared and no percentage of storage used at all, I still had the same issue where I saw using too much space. This is truly a very nice app but with problems like, where you’ve cleared out all storage and have nothing used, it gets a little frustrating because then there’s no point in using it after that.

  • Wonderful!!

    This software is completely great. Using an iOS phone, it has been a tremendous load off my back, as most know, you can not update storage on your iPhone with a SIM card, so what a wonderful and encrypted software to have, to keep your most valuable info and photos or videos or share with a family out of state, a entire video file, with no worries of amount of storage, as an Aplus certified CompTia tech, I am slowly incorporating this for personal use, and as of now, have nothing but good words to say about this software. As the days pass, all files and software are becoming larger and larger, this company is aware and is proactive to this , and I tip my hat with a very large Thank you !!!!

  • Screw Dropbox, Privacy is Key

    If you’ve ever used Dropbox, this is basically identical to that except fully encrypted. Integrates perfectly with phone, multiple PC’s and tablets. Clean and easy interface, this is privacy protection at its absolute finest. You can share files and folders easily with friends and just as easily keep all your secrets hidden from everyone. Mega does not store your password so there will never be a security breach from their end. Free service is great for casual user, and they have enough paid plans to suite any level of users needs. Highly highly recommend this.

  • Awesome until latest update

    I used this app for my business. Had everything (almost) a click away; Show up to the clients location and pull up all my files right there on their computer or on their phone. I found putting the image, design, art in the customers hands was by far the best way to really put yourself ahead of the competition. Unfortunately, after the latest update a few days ago I’ve been unable to upload anything from a mobile device to my cloud storage through the app. I select which files I want to upload, select upload, the screen closes as if it’s going to upload the images, but nothing does indeed get uploaded. Not only that when you go to the transfers screen the app just completely crashes. I don’t currently have the “latest” iPhone and I’m only assuming that’s my issue. App isn’t optimized for my phone. Loved this app and web based cloud storage. I’ll have to start looking for an alternative.

  • Awesome App but I have questions

    I love this App and service so much. A friend referred this to me. However, I have two questions: 1) Will my things going to be deleted days, weeks, or months later after the GB returns to 15? I have 45GB taken right now... will I lose everything ? 2) Will I be able to download all my things, (including the things that takes the extra space), after it returns to 15GB, or I can’t download anything afterwards unless I pay? Also, I’m referring to Free Account, not to any Subscription. I use Mega to revive my best memories and moments in my life, and I’m afraid of loosing them.

  • Surprisingly poor mobile implementation

    I signed up for Mega and got the app for the purpose of keeping things I’m working on synced between various computers and my iPad. But that’s not actually what the app does. Unless it’s a photo or video, it won’t keep things synced automatically, instead requiring a manual upload every time. There’s no way to point it to a folder and say “sync this,” unlike on the desktop versions.

    Instead, you have to run the app, go find the file, and upload it manually. Their website even says as much: note how it says “automatic camera uploads” and “save files locally,” but that’s it. It creates a listing in the folders list to the left in Files, but that doesn’t actually do anything beyond just bringing the app up again.

    Even simple uploading is far harder than it needs to be. If you just hit “upload” and then “choose,” it then asks for access to your photos and videos. When that’s denied, it says it doesn’t have access and can’t do anything.

    The actual way is: menu —> upload —> import from... —> browse and then pick the file. That’s 5 actions to accomplish the whole point of the app. It simply makes no sense, and makes basic tasks far harder than they should be.

  • Rubbish: no privacy & not working

    My goal was to share one single video with a friend... Created an account within the app and granted the permission to access photos, and this silly app without asking a thing immediately started to upload all my private photos to it’s cloud!😨 The only way to stop this transfer was to remove the Photos permission in IOS... Then I tried to remove the uploaded photos,- the only thing you can do is to move them to a “rubbish bin”, and still the app shows that the space in your cloud is occupied by them.
    Ok, let’s try to share a video... Uploaded a video, created a link,- the link just redirects to the MEGA’s main page with their adds and subscription plans (several attempts,- the same result)😒 Have no idea, how is going to pay them for such a service.
    And finally, you can’t even delete your account.
