Kid Ryan Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Or better yet: don't expect the world from a free service. What JohnFlower said. The premium plans are reasonably cheap. 4.99 euro to 29.99 euro a month, depending on the level/tier you get. (higher the tier, the more bandwidth and storage available) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean that MEGA requires you to verify with a phone number when making a new account with a gmail email or are you talking about Gmail in general?

deanzel Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Just use the gmail trick that everyone is mentioning with Mega. If you take your original gmail address (let's say Blitzepidemic@gmail.com) then just add a "+" and whatever to the end and it will automatically forward to your original Gmail account each time. So register in MEGA as [email protected] or [email protected] and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitzepidemic Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) I found this, not sure if its real or not. Mega Technique by Anonymous Coward I've seen some criticism from open source advocates and hackers that Mega can't be trusted because the source isn't available.What assurance could you give someone to the point that their files may not be kept secret while hosted on your platform? Dotcom: I'm not involved in Mega anymore. Neither in a managing nor in a shareholder capacity. The company has suffered from a hostile takeover by a Chinese investor who is wanted in China for fraud. He used a number of straw-men and businesses to accumulate more and more Mega shares. Recently his shares have been seized by the NZ government. Which means the NZ government is in control. In addition Hollywood has seized all the Megashares in the family trust that was setup for my children. As a result of this and a number of other confidential issues I don't trust Mega anymore. I don't think your data is safe on Mega anymore. But my non-compete clause is running out at the end of the year and I will create a Mega competitor that is completely open source and non-profit, similar to the Wikipedia model. I want to give everyone free, unlimited and encrypted cloud storage with the help of donations from the community to keep things going.

That article makes it sound like Dotcom had a sissy fit, lol. I'll be interested in checking out his new site, if it truly is going to be free.

deanzel Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Just got this email. Oh boy... Looks like it's RIP time. Anybody got any bright ideas? If I "transfer" or "share" the file onto another account, will it still remain if the original account/file gets deleted in a non-DMCA manner? So... I thought that this only happened like a week ago and I had some time left. However, I just looked back and realized that I gotta get on this ASAP as I'm already 2 days over the warned time limit. 20 new accounts here I come (albeit I don't have any time to do this in the next few days). Hope it stays up until then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark4yoyo Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Got a mail from mega recently saying I was over the limit (I'm at 150GB), they mention my folders will get deleted if I don't upgrade, but no date on that yet. But I really can't be bothered to create multiple accounts to transfer so i'm likely just going to delete all my files there so I can keep the account for other stuff.

Blitzepidemic Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 I just read that Mega will start to delete accounts that haven't been logged into for awhile. It might be time to import files from known users who have quit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
