250 mb size limit is kinda bad. Dropbox should be the way to go.

The features offered for the free account were not elucidated so I called them. Answered in less than 20 seconds.
The big drawback that I feared, and was confirmed, is that encryption up and down is only available on the business and enterprise versions (business is $15/m). The only security you have with the free account is the password you create. But if you call them and say you've forgotten it, they'll reset it for you. So if someone has access to your PC or device and knows your email, they will have immediate access to everything you've uploaded. Unless of course you've pre-encrypted it before uploading. This is a major weakness which Mega does not have. |

So far its unintuitive and useless.
When I try to open folders full of files, it won't. When I try to drag things into the window, it will only 'move', not copy even though I'm explicitly telling it to copy. When I drag files and folders, it tells me my browser (current chrome) doesn't support that. When I tell it to copy my skydrive files, it warns me that files over 250mb won't be copied, and then it does nothing. So besides the 250mb limit which makes the value low, it doesn't appear I can actually get files to it without doing it in some magic way that is neither apparent nor easy nor the way I do anything else with any other cloud storage tool. Given how quirky and restrictive it is, I therefore wonder how well done their security is. If you cant make the primary function of your product work easily and apparently, perhaps you aren't particularly good with securing data either. So it seems great if you want to move (not copy) one file at a time and don't mind everyone else seeing it, in 250mb chunks or less. |

Was playing around with this and seems like there is no way to unshare a file. Whoever has the link to your file will have access until file is deleted. Any ideas?
