Such services are likely to be around much longer than Mega, judging by how things have been going with it so far, but that's just my guess. You can easily pair it up with excellent and low cost services like pCloud (Switzerland) and (Germany), or any other sync service of your choice.

Cryptomator is specifically designed to give you privacy in the cloud and its free and open source.

However, if you want to have a low price for lots of storage AND have encryption, a good choice is using a non-encrypted service together with Cryptomator, which is an open source encryption app for Linux, Mac and Windows and which lets you set different passwords for different folders (Use a password manager like KeePass to generate and remember them).
iDrive (US, backup and sync - cheap but no Linux client). (Canada, sync like Dropbox but with built in encryption - cheap, no Linux client). Tresorit (Switzerland, sync, hugely secure - Mac/Win/Linux/Android/iPhone - excellent but expensive). SpiderOak (US - very well established - Mac/Win/Linux - less good mobile). If you're looking for a stable, reliable, end-to-end/zero-knowledge encrypted file backup/sync service, you're better off paying at least a small amount for a reliable service without the security pitfalls and constant controversy. Also, Mega's original founder, Kim Dotcom has alleged that the service is under the control now of people who have less than stellar reputations. It's heritage doesn't inspire confidence that the service will be around for the next 10 years, just exactly. It's more than likely MEGA is being used to share files illegally, and that therefore it will be targeted/closed in a similar way. For me that stretches believability.įourth, MEGA's predecessor, MegaUpload, was shut down - however unfairly - by request of US authorities acting ostensibly to protect Hollywood copyrighted material. 2-5 GB of storage) in the hope you'll like the service and buy more. Chrome and Gmail and Facebook and Yahoo! Mail are "free" because you pay for them with you privacy when every detail of what you do online is used to make ads - where will THAT data end up in 20 years?). You should always exercise a healthy degree of skepticism when you're being offered something "for free" (e.g. Thirdly, the 50GB "for free" sounds just too good to be true (and things that sound too good to be true usually are). The Firefox plugin seems completely broken (as of the time of this review). The client can be very slow even to index and upload files. Secondly, the service is quite slow or, at best, sporadic. there are just too many confidence-deflating developments. 
For users seeking a stable, reliable, end-to-end encrypted file storage/sync service, Mega is probably a bad choice in the long run.įirstly, it is a constant controversy magnet: from Kim DotCom (the founder) getting ousted and then making allegations against the service he created, to the discovery of fundamental security vulnerabilities, to Mega's servers getting hacked in November 2016, and on, and on.
