MEGA cloud storage

MEGA is a cloud storage and communication service launched in 2013 as the successor to the controversial file-hosting site Megaupload. It was founded by Kim Dotcom and his associates, though Dotcom eventually severed ties with the company. The service is most notable for its emphasis on security, pioneer-ing user-controlled end-to-end encryption where keys are held by the user rather than the service provider.

Based in Auckland, New Zealand, the brand has grown significantly to offer more than just cloud storage, expanding into encrypted chat, meetings, and developer SDKs. It markets itself as 'The Privacy Company' and is widely used by individuals and businesses seeking secure data management. While the brand had complex early ownership, it is currently operated by Mega Limited, which maintains its primary operations and development within New Zealand.
