FAQ

Can I use MEGA for free?
Yes! The free plan includes 20 GB of storage. You can upgrade to our Pro plans for more storage and transfer quota, and extra features like more security for your links.

How does MEGA sync my files?
The desktop app keeps your local and cloud files identical. During startup, it scans for changes in both locations and compares them. While running, it processes real-time updates, ensuring that changes (e.g., edits, uploads, deletions) are mirrored between your local computer and MEGA Cloud.

How much storage would I need?
Documents don’t take up much space, but media files like photos and videos do. If you’re planning on securely storing a lot of files, especially large ones, then one of Pro plans would be best for your needs.

How do I set up multiple syncs?
You can configure syncs during installation or later in the Sync tab of the app settings. Options include syncing your entire Cloud drive with one folder or linking specific local folders to cloud folders. Adding or removing syncs doesn’t delete the data from either location.

What’s the difference between sync and backup?

Sync: A two-way process where changes in one location (local or cloud) are mirrored in the other.

Backup: A one-way process that only copies data from your computer to MEGA, with no updates made from MEGA back to your computer.
