The correct answer is to assume their encryption doesn’t work and encrypt it yourself. This is true for all cloud storage. Use something like veracrypt.
They had a huge problem with their encryption for a while but I believe it’s now fixed. Additionally, it was ran by Kim Dotcom, the guy who hosted Megadownload, until the New Zealand government took over. So it’s had faulty encryption and is hosted by a 14 eyes government agency. This is why privacy communities recommend alternative options to Mega.
Do you happen to have a (credible) source on the NZ governement owning/controlling/hosting mega?
Thanks.
I have a hard time finding any place in that article thay says anything about the NZ government having control of mega though.
so far i’ve had good experiences with it, definitely not the most privacy focused option out there but they have a decent track record and its cheap. i think the usual advice of not putting anything super sensitive on a cloud storage service still holds, but for most things it should be fine
I use proton drive. I do not trust kim dotcom
For me Mega is really great, 50gb for free and end to end encrypted
I use it, along with filen.io
I use Mega and pay for the extra storage. It works on Linux (unlike Proton Drive) and has been great for me.
