There are various paid for plans which give you lots of additional space and features but the free account gives you 20GB which is plenty to get started. To use the MEGA storage space on your Pi you will need a MEGA account. Their Desktop app “MEGAsync” works great on the Pi and is really easy to setup. MEGA is a popular cloud storage provider and they properly support Linux, Windows and MacOS, unlike some of their competitors. This can speed up swapping data between devices and reduce the messing about with USB drives and network shares. You also have the benefit of accessing those files from other devices via a web browser. Also, in the near future, the developers plan to equip the program with some, undoubtedly, necessary telecommunication functions, namely, to add chat, voice / video calls (conferences) and the ability to work with e-mail.Setting up Pi cloud storage with MEGA is really useful as it means your project files can be safely backed up automatically. For example, using this client, you will be able to add the right people to your contact list, provide other users with access to individual folders and files, etc. In addition to the basic functions of the cloud, MEGAsync can offer its users a number of interesting additional features. There is also a special MEGAsync browser extension that allows you to use the service from your browser. Access to the tools and settings of the service is provided through a user account, which can be created on the official website of the developers or when installing the client application itself on your computer. In order to access and manage the service, users need to download and install a special MEGAsync client program that allows to synchronize files between a computer, tablet, smartphone and MEGA cloud storage.

Any data interception and data leakage is completely excluded, as all transmitted information is encrypted and decrypted only by the client devices themselves. The security of personal user data is ensured by so-called end-to-end encryption. High speed of file exchange (even in case of parallel synchronization of multiple folders) in the MEGA cloud is achieved due to the implementation of multichannel data transfer technology and high capacity of the service infrastructure itself.

Using this service, each subscriber can get from 50 gigabytes (free of charge) to 4 terabytes (depending on which tariff plan is selected). MEGA is one of the fastest, most convenient and secure cloud services for personal data storage, providing its users with a large amount of disk space.
