Signing up to Mega is a piece of cake. All you need is your email address and a strong password. And yes, we do mean a strong password. If Mega thinks your password isn't strong enough, it will notify you instantly. Apart from that, you also get a randomly generated master key in the form of a text file that you need to save. In case you lose your password, you can use this key to get back access to your account.
We found the interface very easy to manage. You can add your contacts on Mega to share files with them and even chat with them if needed. If you want to share a folder with someone who isn't a Mega user, you can just enter their email address, and they will be automatically added to your contacts. There is also an option to choose the kind of access you want to give other users – whether you only want them to view the files or edit them as well.

There is real-time collaboration available on Mega, which means two users can edit the same file at the same time. Users can also share files publically which means anyone with the link to the file can access it.
Coming to uploads, you can either upload an entire folder from your drive or single files. Users can also create a new folder directly on the web app and create a file hierarchy for easy access.
It also has a desktop sync client where users can drag and drop folders that they want to sync. The transfer is only done when your system is idle so that Mega does not interfere with your work. Even after you drop folders into the sync client, it will wait till the least amount of bandwidth is being used and then make the transfer. This obviously speeds up the process. The sync client is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. Any folder on the hard drive can be selected as the primary sync folder.
While the sync client was fast, uploads done on the website were comparatively slow. And with no resume option, if you lose your internet connectivity, you would have to start the whole process again.

Mega does save different versions of a file but it doesn't have incremental file versioning, and that is why we wouldn't recommend saving constantly changing big files on Mega. There is also a recycle bin folder where all the deleted files are saved and can be retrieved.

The service also has add-ons for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. With the help of these add-ons, you can download files in batches without any restrictions. In our testing, we found out that using add-ons increased the overall speed of uploads and downloads. Though the Chrome add-on was a bit buggy when used with the other Chrome extensions, when we disabled the others and only ran Mega add-on, it worked fine.
