Cloud storage service Mega is now out of beta.
Mega’s tagline is “The Privacy Company”, which makes sense since this is Kim Dotcom’s post-Megaupload effort. They boast an encrypted cloud storage service with secure access and collaboration. Storage is free up to 50 GB, and users can purchase up to 4 TB of storage.
Their move from beta came with some updates.
Mega has a new interface that uses local caching for faster load times. They’ve also added avatars and contact management features that organize files by who sent them.
The site already has an Android app, but they’ve submitted an iOS app for review. They also have encrypted chat, email, calling, and video conferencing coming early next year.
There’s no difference between the two–both have no regard for intellectual property rights. At least Dotcom spares us the Do No Evil BS.
Google is satan incarnate.
Im just going to recede into the amazon, it’s too late for anything good to come out of the world
When you upload to MEGA your data is encrypted from your computer with 2024 bit encryption – am so pleased to have this option – It appears the MEGA team offers serious protection of my data by storage out of reach of US govt snooping
Maybe Kim DC is NSA double agent and Mega is a massive sting.
There is no such thing as 2024 bit encryption. It’s either 256, 512, 1024, or 2048 bit.
In the case of Mega.com, file transfers are actually encrypted with AES 128 bit, which is well within the hacking realm of the most modern supercomputers. That being said, such “hackability” by the US Government is pretty much irrelevant within this context.
The question should be: who do you trust more with your data, the NSA or Kim Dotcom?
At least Kim respects privacy
good
