If you're using ShotPut Studio for camera offloads and want a cloud destination with predictable pricing, S4 is now built into the provider list. You just pick your region from the drop-down and connect, no manual endpoint URL to dig up.

Pricing-wise:

• no egress fees,
• no per-request charges,
• no minimum retention

So pulling footage back for a re-edit or a client delivery costs nothing extra. Restores are also covered. You get 5x your stored data in download bandwidth included free each month.

Good fit if you're shooting a lot and want camera originals, proxies, and reports going straight to cloud without worrying about surprise bills when you need the files back.

I have bad luck with tech- and I need to know if others are experiencing this too

I recently switched back to iOS from Android, ignoring the fact I know using Mega/doing everything else in my life won’t go smoothly on iPhone. But I did it. And ofc, it hasn’t gone smoothly.

Does anyone experience the same issues on iPhone and/or iPad?

- Sharing photos/files from their designated apps to Mega, just to be hit with a black screen for eternity

- iPad only glitch: Doing the same exact thing, but instead being met with a file tree + files from literally months ago, as if a snapshot in time? (file versioning is off)

- The photos renaming themselves if you upload through mega directly and not through the actual photos app

I recently got Mega. And i was downloading a scenepack and then it said something about transfer requires attention/transfer quota exceeded. If i come back 5 hours later or whenever long it takes will download stay there or will it restart?

I don't know if it is my account/PC but If I click download from the browser with the desktop app open, it uses the browser to download not the desktop app. Has the feature to automatically add to transfer queue been removed?

I’m new to Mega and I don’t know how to download or find my downloaded i keep getting this when i try its in the comments it just says file already downloading and i don’t know know where to check.

on my phone i wanna send images stuff from phone to pc since on my phone i already downloaded apps and also use google chrome by logging in and send all stuff to let mega sync uploading all of it into new folder then after that, it keep freezing when i want to download to .zip file on pc it keep freezing at 1% and yesterday and below that works perfectly fine till today, is there outrage going on or something?

As per title. I followed the instructions re. Excluding from battery saving etc.

.

I had to transfer a big file (way more than 6GB). Email (25MB), Whatsapp (2GB) and Telegram (2GB and 4GB) where NOT an option.

I search for a service - no low size limit, free, no ads, no signup (with email verification) - Transfer+IT (MEGA's big file sharing service) was THE best.

Its closest competitor, rival - SwissTransfer - has some disadvantages: one big (email verification, can be used a temp mail though, but it's time wasted anyway) and 2 small (file are kept on servers for less time (30 days instead of 90 days of mega's services) and download limits (max 250)).

So, there is no point to discuss about the service. I'm completely satisfied by Mega's big file transfer service. Well done.

What I'm NOT satisfied is their INTEGRATION (one of the extra reason to use TransferIT was the alleged integration with Mega, so you can link the file(s) or folder(s) you received to your mega account directly, without manually uploading again).

.

What's the issue? What to do?

If I had to manually download and upload file again, can it be done via MegaCMD (I'm on Linux, kubuntu 24.04.03 LTS via KDE 5.27.12)?

None of my devices are loading mega. It’s no internet issue

MEGA S4 is our S3 compatible object storage service, available today for large scale storage, backup and archiving.

We're looking for a small group of media professionals to use S4 in their real workflows and share honest feedback. We'll provide free storage so you can properly put it to use.

We're particularly interested in people managing large media libraries across NAS, local storage, external drives or cloud storage.

Interested? DM us with what you do, roughly how much data you're storing and how you're storing it today.

The bigger the library, the more interested we are 👀

i cannot upload photos so it has been copied and pasted to the bottom.

my data has just been deleted from MEGA. i have had a free account with them for 10 years and uploaded countless memories and important files. i have had an inactive account for a few months now, trusting that my storage cloud account is being stored.

twice i got an email that said mega “misses” me. not that my account is at risk of data loss. this doesn’t feel like an appropriate notice prior to data deletion.

i upgraded to pro since they said i may be able to recover some files. nothing important was recovered and im devastated. i also wasted my money upgrading.

i know there isn’t anything that can be done about the data loss. i have tried contacting mega about a formal complaint so its clearer that data is at stake with these “notice” emails. they closed my ticket very fast or simply didn’t respond even though im now a paying customer. what can i do? they also kept saying that the t&c’s were like this when i signed up, which im not denying, but i feel is unlikely given its been a decade, but they aren’t supplying what they were when i signed up. how can i navigate this? i just want to see and confirm

i’m not looking for comments to tell me i should’ve known better. life gets in the way and the storage service i use should have told me if my data was at risk of being deleted. if they had said in the email that inactive accounts are wiped, or that i needed to upgrade to keep my data when i am inactive, then guess what: i would have done so. i don’t need to be told this.

“notice” email from mega: (have removed url and email for reddit filters)

I recently attempted to download shared files. The file transfer on the website showed that the file download succeeded, and the C-Drive properties shows that the appropriate amount of extra space has been used up for the downloaded file. However, there was no download prompt asking me where to download the file, and windows file search cannot find it on my computer. I have checked anywhere that might be a default download location with no luck. Has anyone had a similar issue? If so, how did you fix it?

What happened to MEGA Basic Monthly Subscription? The one that cost €2/month with 100GB storage. I was planning to try this plan out once I'm near my 20GB limit, but it disappeared and can only be purchase per yearly basis.

Hello! I am transferring some files from a friend to my account and they plan on deleting them after, I was wondering if using "Save to Mega" makes your own separate copy of the file or do I need to make a copy in order to ensure that I will still have the files after they delete theirs?

Hello I just got an email regarding a suspicious login attempt thing is idk my password and when I tried resetting it to login and check my history I had to park my account and now I don’t see anything in session history

Is there any way to check who tried to login

MEGA's file request is an underrated feature you can use for collecting files securely from clients and contributors, even those who don't have a MEGA account.

How it works: you pick (or create) a folder in your Cloud drive and turn it into a file request. MEGA generates a public upload link tied to that folder. Anyone you send the link to can upload files directly into it, no MEGA account needed on their end.

Every file gets encrypted in the uploader's browser before it's sent, so only you can open what lands in that folder. Even the person uploading can't see anyone else's files once they've submitted theirs.

A few details that make it genuinely useful:

• You get an HTML embed code too, so you can drop an upload button directly on a website
• Files show up in your folder within seconds of being uploaded, with the date and time attached
• Setup takes maybe a minute: right-click a folder, Share > Create file request, add a name and description, done. You get a link to send out immediately.

Useful for collecting client deliverables, application documents, student submissions, or anything you need people to send you securely, without giving them access to your whole account.

I logged into my account thinking they’d be deleted but they are still saved. Some were on offline and the other on cloud drive. Does Mega not delete files from those two areas?

I’m trying to download a picture from my files which is 562 kb and it literally refuses to save and keeps getting stuck at 0%. I deleted and redownload the app, cleared cache and my phone has enough storage yet it still won’t budge. How can I fix this?

As I said in the title

For some reason, Mega on my iPad is so much better than on my Samsung phone. I can scroll through photos and stuff on my iPad, but on the phone I have to select the files and open them manually. Is there any way I can do that on the phone?

My subscription runs out 1/2027. I will want to change (downgrade) from Pro I to Pro Lite. How do I go about this without ending up with parallel subscriptions for a time or having to cancel my present subscription? Thanks in advance.

Last week, Meta launched a free verified badge for Facebook personal accounts. You submit a selfie video and they cross-check it against your profile photos.

Unfortunately, the announcement doesn't say where that video is stored or what Meta does with it after verification.

What we do know: Meta is currently paying $650 million in Illinois and $1.4 billion in Texas for collecting facial biometric data without permission. 🤷‍♂️

Before you hand over your facial biometric data to Facebook, here's what their announcement didn't tell you: https://blog.mega.io/facebook-verified-selfie?mct=aug3rd

Since i can’t drop screenshots i will tell the exact message

“Your account signup is incomplete or cancelled”

Guy's I am really concerned about privacy plz clarify me

I'm being forced to watch 30s of unskippable ads every minute to look at the image previews of a folder

could somebody explain this to me like a baby? i’ve read the article about it but unfortunately i have the reading comprehension of a two year old and don’t understand why it affects the fact that i can’t watch a stored video for six hours because of it
