Reviews & Comments of MEGA chrome extension

This extension causes Google Analytics to be unusable in your browser where this extension is installed. Both Chrome and Edge have the same issue.

Can't download large files! Don't waste your time with this.

new / old user here and satisfied with everything.Desctop app and mobile apk works exelent ,and even with PC machine 10+ years old app works exelent becouse it is not consuming RAM and CPU .Mobile is Samsung with 3 GB RAM and run on android 13.

Going on almost 2 years now and I won't use anything else.

Hated that mega forces you to download their app or download this extension. the site kept complaining that my PC has no free space when I have 4 TB of free space and the size of the download is only 12 GB.

With this extension uploading doesn't work in Vivaldi browser.

total useless thing I have ever seen

This extension is garbage. It forces you to install it if you want to download files larger than a certain size because of "insufficient disk space," which is a blatant lie as I'm using a brand-new 4TB drive with nothing on it yet. You're lucky if you get a dl speed higher than 250kbps. Downloads freeze and hang multiple times, causing you to have to pause and restart over and over. Then when you do finally get to 100%, it just hangs there and doesn't complete. If I could give this dog excrement app 0 stars, I would.

Ive used this app for years, never had an problems

I would give 0 stars if possible. Arbitrarily forcing users to download and install your extension or desktop app to download a larger file through your service is not only annoying, it's downright insulting when the reason you give for it is an outright lie. "Insufficient disk space" is not a valid reason when my download is 50GB and I have over 1TB free on the target drive. Seriously uncool, scummy move that ensures I will never use the service to host my own files.

I've had Mega installed on my Mac for a couple of years and it has been quite handy for occasional use but I have recently had to use it more often and about 50% of the time, I get an error saying that the extension has crashed and I need to reload it, which is obviously pretty annoying when you have left files uploading and come back to find that they haven't and there is no way of knowing if those which have are not corrupted in some way - so have to start again. I have not been able to find any support information on this so I am not particularly impressed. [edit] I just reduced this to one star as I just had an issue with undecrypted files and folders and none of the fixes I found online worked. I disabled the extension and everything worked fine just by logging into the Mega site - which made me wonder what is the point of this extension. All it seems to do is provide a link to the site via an extension URL which only causes problems, the upload problem mentioned above, the undecryped file/folder problem plus the inability to log-in using a password manager. A simple bookmark gets around all these problems.

I haven't had an issue using the extension. I hate that it is now required, but I can live with it. The main issue I have is that I am admin on a message board and this extension blocked embed codes on my site even though the extension claims to only have access to mega domains. Considering it can effect other sites without the user's consent means it is harmful, on top of already being pointless.

This is really good. I like it. but i see a lot of users saying its fake but i dont see any single problem

TIME FOR AN HONEST REVIEW!! I have taken note of all the old, negative reviews, and it is all too easy to dismiss Mega. Today Mega is a completley different operation. No, I don't work for them, but do your research like I did and maybe some of you will stop complaining and realise what a gret service this is. I have used all the major cloud syncing services (paid and free) over the past decade, and I can you they all lack something. Mega is the best and easiest of all of them to use and syncing new folders is a breeze. I don't download and store mega files for gaming, etc, so I don't know how good it is for that. But I have multiple synced folders of markdown files, (tiny text files) which are being sonstantly updated during the day. Now I am not your typical user, but MegaSYNC is perfect for my needs as a retiree. I have a free account. They originally gave me 40GB, and I referred some friends to it, but now it has been reduced to 20GB of storage, and I use 1% of it. I have contacted support once, and they got back to me in a reasonabe time with the links to solve my issue, so I can't ask for more from a free account. So, hopefully this review will give some balanced perspective as what to expect from Mega in 2022.

logs me out of onlyfans when I try to click on a profile that I subscribe to. When I disable this extension everything works perfectly. So I guess I'll just enable it before clicking on a Mega link

must have for student . glad to find it on atleast on chrome store. i am using linus. working fine.

It can't be worse. It crashes or I get a decryption error after I download a file. Spent hours to download some files from this/my cloud and I still were not able to download all of them. But it came even worse. Since I had so many useless downloads I tried to download them again. And then I got the message that I have exceeded my transfer volume and I have to buy an upgrade to my account. I for sure will avoid this "cloud" in the future. My worst cloud nightmare so far...

NEEEEEEEEEDD a Dark Theme, ffs. It's 2021, Mega. C'mon.

Seriously what is wrong with you guys. I have already paid for pro, and still can't download. You force me to use some MegaSync, fine I clicked ok. And STILL I can't download!!! Further forced to install this extension. What a scam. Can't download even after paying money.

They forced an update that changes the look and functionality of the extension. Now folders don't even work right. They've made the left hand navigation pane ONLY function at the highest level, so you cannot see subfolders from the NAVIGATION pane anymore. What were these morons thinking???

forced to download this garbage

I've been using it for some years now. On cross-platforms as well. I use the free registered version, which gives me 50GB of storage. I sometimes exceed that, and get a warning, but it is quite flexible. For instance: if I'm at the office and need to download something that supports Mega.NZ, I just load it into the cloud, and download it at home. It also allows me to upload some apps I need for work as a back-up in case I forget my install stick. I can just go online and download it from my cloud. The only downside I experience is the download-limit/throttle, but since I'm using the free version, I have no reason to complain. All in all, it is a commendable service. And I recommend it to my friends whenever they ask me when they are in need of something like this. Keep it up. (y) PS: to those who said that they've had problems with anything concerning this app/feature; I've never encountered anything like that. And I've been using it since August 29, 2016.

Works great and I use it all the time, thanks for making this!

Was forced to install it

I don't like Mega very much anymore and I'm a paid customer because of the one thing the speed issue... They need something more powerful from New Zealand to the USA ... I mean google drive the speed is out of control and it's cheap as freaking hell... And they never get back to me about this on going speed issue.

very bad

i don't like having to download your software to just download a file, other sites have no problem with downloading files from chrome and other browsers, makes me feel like you guys are just forcing people rather then let people pick

always hated the way their download times are slow and they cut out the bandwidth in mid-download, but now i'm forced to download this piece of c**p with the excuse that my browser does not allow the website to use the required space to download... f**king lairs

Wow i never knew this until now but this Extension has been hacked before and someone is using and know my password out there

i wish i could give 6 stars is beause i finally got the 50gb storage because just for registaring! and thank you and love it!

i got a rat :(

it works okay on phone but ive always struggled with it on pc. When i try to both login or create a new account NOTHING loads! its been like this for ages and thers nothing on youtube or just anything in general that shows how to fix this. PLEASE get back to me if you know how to fix this because its making me angry and sad.

Downloads keep getting stuck. I have to refresh and restart the download several times.

I use this all the time to transfer pictures and videos from my phone to iphone and vice versa. I guess you could just use your email and achieve the same results but i prefer doing it this way. Also there are lots of times where the video im trying to email is too big so this works as well.

Don't work

MIND BLOWING 50 GB FREE MY GOD.

Fraudulent method of obtaining subscriptions

Does anyone know how to get find the offline folder on the pc because on the mobile app I can find it, but when I use the computer I cannot. Please help

I cant even log into my account and when someone puts something on MEGA I cant download it because the page is just stuck

Simply didn't work for me, nothing more to add, wouldn't download.

owsm

like it

Mega is very useful app. So, it is my favorite app.

on the April 8, 2020 Version 3.86.1 update its causing me to be stuck on 99% Decrypting… can this please be fixed

Fails to download 99% of the time. I've tried everything under the sun to get this to work, I've looked up just about everything I can do and there are no solutions. The entire purpose of this application,being the ability to store and share files, fails in one of, if not the most, important features, being the ability to download files.

The webpage is great, the extension? Has issues. I cannot view PDFs uploaded to mega when this extension is on Chrome. It simply auto-redirects to mega's main page. Hugely annoying.

Why is this extention so slow ? Its not my ip considering I can download 2GB in 2min or 5 min during heavy traffic time and I can get easily get 8.00 M when dowloading a torrent as well as 1.99M upload yet i've been trying to download a 2GB file for over an hour. I even stopped all other file transfers and every other non essential feature on my computer to hopefully speed things up and all that happened was it got even slower .

Fantasic !!

The app is very good in downloading and fast downloader

Uploading files through the app is just horrible. I'm always getting "Aw, Snap!" (crashed pages) when my uploads are almost complete, and my upload speed is already bad enough. I've just wasted an hour of time trying to upload a puny 800 MB file. This app was disappointing.

Been using this service for a long time, always happy with their apps and usability.

Seems to work fine. It's also nice to know that nobody can snoop on me as easily as when I use the webpage (or so their marketing dept. says), but the issue that they're facing from people circumventing Chrome's security systems in order to update the app with (a) malicious version(s) is worrying.

This application interferes with critical web apps I need to do my job.

I couldn't even make an account because it won't let me tick the boxes to say I understand the Terms of Service, and it won't let me proceed without them. No error messages came up when I tried to click the boxes, they just don't work. Tried it on multiple computers.

I have used the free vision for years and love it so I have just upgraded to the Pro 111 I don't understand some of the neg comments it has worked perfect for me for years the only time I have had any problems is when there are settings that are not correct on my PC Laptop or Phone normally codec or connections problems, I would first check your device for problems and configuration errors before getting your hair off and leaving neg feedback, it is just like screaming at the receptionist at the call centre that your TV won't turn on, It won't fix the problem will it?

They suspended 3 of my premium accounts without any reason.

I installed the extension, then saw the fine print: "*Subject to your participation in our achievements program." I researched what the "achievements program" is, and it seems that you have to do tasks to earn storage for a limited time-frame on the free account. Well, I am not going to go any further than downloading and will offload this extension after this response. From what I read, you can do tasks like refer a friend or download the app for this or that to earn storage that will expire; that isn't for me. Take Care, With Love Through God and Jesus and The Holy Ghost,

Arbitrarily forcing users to use their extension in order to download from the website because of "limited disk space" which is just utter nonsense, an excuse to collect user data through the app extension, so enjoy this 1 star review.

They downright lie to you about your storage space to try to force you to either download their desktop app or install this extension. Don't support scummy practice. The extension doesn't even help you at getting the download done.

Garbage

Dark Theme?

not working bro

I have 5 downloads at the same time, all running fine, although extremely slow. Installed this extension to try and improve dl speed, login with my account, go to Transfers, and .. "No transfers" is the message...! So... uninstall...

forced to use it. dont recomend. if mega sees this u big gay

Screw you guys

No entiendo para qué funciona, si cuando se abre la página de mega, no pasa nada. Sólo la misma página web de siempre

good

Go Kim Dot Com!! I can stream wav file quality music to all my friends :D

Good Cloud Drive Highly recommend..........!

Only downloaded because I was forced in order to get past a download limit. Feels pretty forced and I will probably uninstall it as soon as my downloads are done as I don't use MEGA enough to justify keeping a chrome extension.

daora

It is a cool app to use to save data on cloud

This is a SCAM!! Do not use it and make sure to rate it.

Has worked sporadically here and there but during the past week or 2, it keeps crashing Chrome halfway through any download. Then I restart Chrome or the PC and try again, and it starts from the beginning, gets halfway through, and then crashes again. This is very frustrating.

the best cloud drive

the best downloader

Mega upload is the best...perfectly integrated into crhome...upgrade to paid subscription...it's cheap and gives you TONS of storage. Highly recommended

Hackers breached to my Mega account via this extension! All my files are gone! Do not install this, or you'll lose your precious files forever.

Not only do I but many friends love this program, and if I could give a higher rating I would!

I'd be shocked if even 10% of my downloads through this app came out working perfectly, but the fact is that the overwhelming majority of data that passes through this extension gets corrupted and unusable. This extension also writes a copy of downloaded files to the C:\Users\____\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\File System\028\p\ folder that it fails to clean up, resulting in hundreds of gigs of wasted space unless you go hunting this folder down to delete them. This app is an absolute catastrophe. Do NOT use.

The company LIES to get you to install an app/extension. I downloaded a file and received an error stating there was not enough space on my drive. There is 3.26TB free on my drive. This is obviously a scam. Also be sure to look at some of the 5 star reviews. There are many that are obviously fake.

Love it

v. good

Love this

I love the idea and ethics of private and secure storage. Keep it up!

like it

Very Good app lel

Well it was really useful, great really until this i read today: Another Chrome Extension has come under attack this week. Mega Cloud Storage service based in New Zealand announced Tuesday in a blog post that their Chrome Web Store account had been compromised and the attacker was able to upload a corrupted version of the Mega Chrome extension. Unfortunately, Chrome extensions generally update automatically in the background and for roughly four hours, the malicious extension was live in the Web Store.

Update asks for permission to read my data on all websites, no thanks.

Very Good.. but not working fine on Chrome Canary :(

doesn't work well

Good but not the best.

I don't use mega for everyday stuff. just to transfer files between my friends

Lied about being able to download once the extension is installed. Deceiving practices all over the website. Avoid at all cost!

good

best cloud storage till i used . super

it says 50 gb, but now reduced to 15 gb, whats the point if it is offering just 15 gb, google drive offers the same and is far better than this

a like mega

tells no space on primary drive. but I have another one, stupid thing!

Perfect Mega Cloud.

this extention does nothing. mega doesn't offer 50gb free anymore. after a while it goes to 15gb. kimdotcom warned us about this.

Interesting storage size. I love Mega App.

useless.. what happened to mega used to be the best.. now just a pain.

Best web cloud with greater space...
