How To Create An Account On Mega Cloud Storage

Mega.nz Overview

MEGA is a cloud storage service focused on security that offers users excellent end-to-end encryption and a great free plan with tons of storage. However, its history has been marked by controversy and its zero-knowledge-encryption makes collaboration difficult. Find out more about MEGA, both the good and the bad, in this full MEGA cloud review.

Founded in 2013 as a successor to the infamous Megaupload — which you can read more about in our guide to what Megaupload is — MEGA cloud storage was created by the notorious Kim Dotcom. Following the takedown of Megaupload’s servers in Hong Kong, MEGA was incorporated in New Zealand as a cloud service dedicated to the security and privacy of its users’ data.

In spite of all its controversy, MEGA is still a very secure cloud service, and it’s one of the best choices for anyone looking for lots of free storage space. A free account will get you a whopping 20GB of cloud storage. Because of this, MEGA makes our list of the best free cloud storage services.

Although MEGA has a generous free plan, its paid plans are rather pricey and it doesn’t really offer enough cloud storage to make up for the price. There are certainly better alternatives that offer much more storage for a lower price.
