MEGA Cloud Storage 20GB Free.

MEGA is known for the largest fully featured free cloud storage in the world with 20 GB storage allocation for free accounts.

The service was previously noted for a large 50 GB storage allocation for free accounts. However, this was reduced to 20 GB, with additional amounts offered only on an expiring trial basis.

MEGAsync is a cloud storage and file hosting service offered by Mega Limited, an Auckland-based company.

The website and service was launched on 19 January 2013, by Kim Dotcom, together with chief technical officer, director, and co-founder Mathias Ortmann, chief marketing officer Finn Batato and Bram van der Kolk.

Data on Mega services is end-to-end encrypted client-side using the AES algorithm. Since Mega does not know the encryption keys to uploaded files, they cannot decrypt and view the content. Therefore, they cannot be responsible for the contents of uploaded files.

By encrypting files MEGA can work with a larger number of data hosting companies around the world, decreasing the likelihood of a Megaupload-style seizure of servers by one government. MEGA also uses CloudRAID technology, which means files are split into roughly equal-sized parts and stored in different countries.

As of January 20, 2018, Mega claims to have 100 million registered users in more than 245 countries and territories, and more than 40 billion files have been uploaded to the service.
