MEGA is a cloud file storage that uses modern encryption methods, which prevents unauthorized access to an Android user account. If you have previously used the web version of the service, you can use synchronization to manage data directly from the device. Fast registration and an impressive amount of memory distinguish the application from analogues.
Application Features
When registering, the user only needs to specify an e-mail where the key for additional encryption will be sent. No one has access to the account, including MEGA employees - these are the security rules.
Among the features are:
- the presence of a history of downloads, which allows you to track actions on your account;
- files are downloaded very quickly compared to analogues;
- a convenient search system has been implemented, with which it is much easier to find the desired file.
The application can be synchronized with the camera, which makes it possible to save photos and videos from the phone, bypassing the main memory. The process is automatic, just select the item in the settings, and then start shooting material.
The interface is made in such a way that the user can at any time see which of the contacts got access to the saved files, whether there were downloads. Additionally, the history of actions to receive files from other users is also saved.
Application advantages
There is a special contact book where you can add users who will later be able to access the repository. This requires an address Email in the required field. After that, the personal information specified in the profile will open.
Other advantages include:
The MEGA client for Android provides a convenient list that allows you to quickly get brief information about all stored objects. Initially, the user will have access to 50 GB free space, which can be filled with anything from movies and music to work papers. Users of any level can understand the application, the interface is very easy to learn.
Hello.
Some users forced me to write this article with their whining. More and more cool materials began to appear on the site, which are available for download using the Mega cloud storage. As time has shown, many users are unable to download the course. The question immediately arises “why do you need a course if you can’t even do the simplest action, how to download the material ?!”. If earlier these comments caused a smile and laughter, now it has become a little annoying and those who write such comments resemble a primitive sponge, as in the preview for this article. In the future (already in the very near future), voluminous cool materials are expected, which will be available for download through Mega. If you have problems downloading- read this article, since this issue will not be raised anymore and no one will break materials into hundreds of pieces and re-upload them to other storages for the sake of some users. Users who continue to whine will be sent to learn PC skills and will be temporarily isolated from society.
And so, let's see why Mega? Everything is very simple. For us, this is a convenient repository, where there are no restrictions on the amount of material uploaded, where there is a large amount of disk space and where complaints are loyal. Materials for users are available for free, so either learn to download or don't download at all. Let's assume that you have found the desired course and it is uploaded to Mega. First of all, make sure that the storage itself opens for you. If Mega is not available in your country (some providers block the storage), use a proxy or vpn to bypass the blocking. Now the easiest thing left is to download the material. There are 2 most simple ways downloads:
1 way. The the way is fine not for download large files. To download large files, use the 2nd method. First way- this is to use the download through a regular browser. As practice has shown, the browser works best with Mega Google Chrome. Therefore, we advise you to use it. How is the download through the browser: First, the material is downloaded to the cache, then after it is completely downloaded, you can save it to any folder (if the folder selection is not configured, the material is saved to the downloads folder).
Click the "Download in browser" button and wait for the download to complete. You can't close the tab!
You can also use the software from Mega - MegaSync and synchronize files, but we did not try to download this method, although some users praise this particular method. Also, according to some users, for a successful download, files need to be imported to your cloud drive, but, in general, this is not necessary. After download big file through the browser, we recommend clearing the browser cache, for example, using the CCleaner utility.
2 way. Download using the Mipony program. Mipony program can be downloaded from the official website. We advise you to use this particular method, since the program is very convenient and has many advantages, for example, the software supports resuming files (like a torrent) and does not create temporary files, unlike downloading through a browser. Some antiviruses may swear at the program, but there is nothing wrong with that. The program does not steal anything and is not malicious. Paranoids can use the program on a virtual machine. Install the program (everything is very simple) and run. First of all, open the "Options" tab and make sure that there is no speed limit.
