Mega plans to add Instant Messaging to the service so you will be able to do more than just send and receive files with your contacts. One of the handier features in Mega is that you can share files with other Mega users by dragging and dropping a file to their name in your contacts section.
Once the person signs up for Mega they will be automatically added to your contacts list. To add a contact, just click on the contacts section and click “Add contact” at the top of the page. On the left side is the Cloud Drive showing all your uploaded files, and navigation links to the trash bin, your inbox, and contacts. At the far right is a drop-down menu aptly titled “Menu” that contains links to Mega’s blog, pricing for Pro accounts, help, terms of service, and other informational links. Manage files at the dashboard (click to enlarge).Īfter that’s done, you will arrive at your file manager dashboard where you can upload and download files, share public links to files, and share files with other Mega users. Once you confirm and sign in, Mega will create a 2048-bit RSA public/private key pair for the service’s encryption features. Mega creates an encryption key for file management. You will then have to click on a confirmation link you receive via email before you can start using the service. Make sure you use a particularly strong password with sufficient length and random characters, since your password also serves as the master encryption key for your account. Then enter your name, email address, and a password. To get started, click “Register” at the top right-hand side of the page. Getting started Mega’s start screen (click to enlarge). Chrome also has the added advantage of allowing you to upload folders with one drag-and-drop action.
For best results use Google Chrome Mega says its only deficiency is lower-grade text rendering. Use of Internet Explorer 10, for example, has a bug that forces you to close and reopen your Mega tab every hundred megabytes or so worth of uploads, according to Mega.
