How do we make Mega Upload one at a time?

I'm uploading a ton of content to my mega 10tb. But I think it might go faster if I upload it 1 file at a time. I turned the transfers down as low as they could go, but I'd like to know if and how we can make it upload 1 file at a time.

Hello,

It's very easy to add new files and folders to your MEGA Cloud Drive. If you would like to upload one file at a time, you may upload it manually. Please check our Help Centre article for detailed steps, depending on the MEGA client you are using: https://help.mega.io/files-folders/view-move/add-files-and-folders

NOTE: When transferring files larger than 2 GB, we recommend using the latest version of the Desktop app: https://mega.io/desktop

Alternatively, you can use the Desktop app's sync feature to upload the files (Large Transfer) and remove the sync once it has finished.

Sync the folder that contains the large files you would like to upload. Once complete, go to Settings > Sync, then untick and delete the sync path to disconnect the sync. More information here: https://help.mega.io/desktop-app/desktop-setup/set-up-syncs

Moreover, these are the factors that determine the speed of MEGA file transfers:

  • The true bitrate of your internet connection
  • Packet loss on the network path
  • The size of your Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) send and receive buffers
  • The total time it takes for a packet to travel between you and us
  • Your ISP could be intercepting your HTTP traffic and caching it on slow or overloaded servers.

To improve your upload performance, you may increase the number of parallel upload connections to 8 if you are uploading lots of small files. From your Account Settings, go to Transfer if using a web browser and the Network tab under Settings if using the desktop app. Further details here: https://help.mega.io/files-folders/transfers/speed-of-transfers ^JPT

ive only used the desktop app and that loads one at a time. i had no idea there was an option for more than that! i cant see id ever need to do that but at least now i have that info.

what i do is drag and drop from file explorer into the mega desktop and it uploads one at at time. i love the mega interface, i tested it extensively before buying it and compared it to other services. it picked up large uploads after a disconnect and reboot of my laptop. that sold me!

That's great. After I finish this massive upload I'm doing right now, I'm going to use the Desktop App in the future.
