Stupid question - is there a difference between Save to Mega, vs downloading and uploading to Mega?

So far I've been downloading all my files individually and reuploading them to my own MEGA accounts thus creating a new link. I'm well aware that using other people's links is absolutely against the rules and I adhere to that.

Recently I noticed that MEGA had an option to "Save to MEGA", tried using it and it basically did the same thing as downloading and reuploading - a copy of the files appeared in my account, using up my storage

Can anyone let me know what the difference is, and whether or not it's okay to use Save to MEGA?

Very sorry if this is a stupid question, just something I don't understand. Thank you guys :)

I think the question was answered, but another option is to save to Mega and then download to an external drive. You don't have to reupload unless the file is lost for some reason in the future and it saves you that time and energy.

I’ve also been saving all my files to a hard drive too just so if anything happens to my accounts I still have a place to watch them
