MEGA is one of only a handful of cloud storage services that provide end-to-end, zero-knowledge encryption. MEGA should be a safe place to store all of your private data because the client-side, end-to-end encryption ensures the privacy of your files, even if someone gains access to your data.

How private is mega?
MEGA has earned a reputation for being one of the best privacy-oriented cloud storage services.

You can even share documents in encrypted form so that only those with whom you share the key can read them.
Can Mega track you?
Your account is encrypted, and the files you share can also be encrypted (but don’t have to be). Part of this means that even Mega can’t see what files you’ve uploaded. That said, Mega clearly states – as it must – that it is against illegal file sharing of any kind, including the copyright infringement kind.
