You can only access your files via a Web browser. Unlike more sophisticated cloud storage services, such as Dropbox, Mega's storage won't integrate with your file system. You can also download files at the same time as you're uploading others. You can upload both single files or folders. Once you make it into Mega, you're presented with a typical file folder-style display. I will say, however, that getting an estimated upload time of infinity was one of the more amusing error messages I've ever seen. In particular, Mega promises that, if you don't close your current browser session, you can restart interrupted uploads and downloads. However, Internet Explorer 10, Windows 8's default browser, is known to freeze up after uploading approximately 100MB of files.Įven with Chrome, I found the site often locked up on me. Mega recommends Chrome, but I was also able to use it with Firefox.

You can use any Web browser to access your new storage so long as its actively supporting JavaScript.
