MEGA Reviews
The service MEGA provides is generally very satisfying and the encrypted data protection mechanism gives users a higher sense of security. Another really good feature is that when you upload multi-media files such as music and videos, MEGA doesn’t compress your files and sacrifice the quality to save space. Apart from cloud storage, it also integrates very practical functions that better assist your day to day work or study life. The subscription options are diverse enough for different demands and the price is quite affordable. Besides, the default free storage space is generous enough with free extension opportunities, which users can take full advantage of if they mainly use the app to upload and share smaller or medium sized files. The app program though not perfect, is relatively stable with a few occasional technical issues that wouldn’t severely sabotage user experience.
