MEGA Privacy 2.0.6.81

The app to help you upload and manage your files using the cloud services provided by MEGA
More and more uses tend to favor online cloud storage as the old-fashioned methods are inferior at least in terms of accessibility and one of the most well-known hosting services, MEGA, released its official client app for Windows Phone users.

The utility offers all the features you will need to capture and transfer photos, then manage them from your personal account, even while you are on the go.

Practical interface, with a friendly look

MEGA comes with a pretty neat GUI, at least from the functional perspective, as it make sit a breeze to locate and use all the functions and commands.

The graphics are discreet, without falling into dullness, while the navigation through the various sections and menus of the app is fluent and without major glitches.

Nonetheless, when trying to exit the transfers area after successfully uploading some files, the "Back" button might completely close the app instead of taking you to the home screen.

Organize your cloud storage

With the help of MEGA you will be able to create personal folders and, if necessary, subfolders inside your online storage and upload images inside them with ease.

The app offers you several upload options, so you can take a photo using the rear camera of your phone or activate the front-facing one for a selfie, while the third option is to access the local image gallery.

The items are kept well structured and the utility offers several sorting options and you can change the viewing mode pretty easily and go for the thumbnail or grid view instead of having the list with details shown in the section you are currently browsing.

Selecting and removing unnecessary files is quite straightforward and if you want to restore deleted files, the "Rubbish bin" offers the necessary options, so you can download the items locally or move hem to another cloud folder.

Quick transfers and download link sharing

MEGA is pretty fast when it comes to uploading or downloading files to and from the online storage, so the transfers should be carried out without any difficulties in normal conditions.

For each folder or file you can have a download link created on the spot and then you can share it with anyone via email, SMS or through the social networks you subscribed to.

In order to make sure only you can access the app onto the mobile device, inside the "Preferences" area you can create a password and from the same section you can export the masterkey of your MEGA account for recovery purposes.
