Warning! According to the MegaCloud privacy policy they may use your personal information (email, phone number, etc) for telemarketing, direct mail marketing or pop-ups/pop-unders. If you use this cloud storage provider for storing your files you could be at risk. NOTICE! This website appears to have shut down for no apparent reason. It has also potentially taken several petabytes worth of users files and data with them. This whole thing reeks of a data/file harvesting scam. For truly private file storage I suggest using ***** or ***** both offer highly secure cloud storage.

There is always the unsubscribe link if you don't want to receive any promotional emails. Please also be noted that "The privacy of your personal information is very important to us. The servers that we store personal information on are kept in a secure physical environment. When our registration/application process asks users to enter Sensitive Information, and when we store and transmit such Sensitive Information, that information is encrypted and protected with SSL encryption software. "
Till now I see no problem with their service. I've tried and almost satisfied with the free features they promised, except for sync speed needs to be improved. I'll update my ratings if there's any changes.

The site is just fine. Don't find anything bad. When you talk about privacy then you should also go after similar site.

The service lost my files and refuses to answer in support for over a month.

"What a load of bullshit about this site" it is just a good site that has a lot of free storage, and a great easy to use website and mobile app, so i say everybody come to megacloud, you get a lot of storage, 16 gb and yes for free!!!!! if you want more storeage than you have to pay, but thats normal, i think. kind regards, michiel bosscher

this site is better than a lot of other online storage sites I've been too. I find it offensive that other companies are attacking it
Helpful
I never comment on here, but I must say, I've been using this service so far, and it's pretty good, and gives me a lot more storage to start out with than DropBox.

The software was opening and scanning .zip files in other folder than his. I suspect data mining.

WTF? I see evidence that competitors are attacking this site's reputation. Some comments are suspect, and some are downright misleading. Example: One user, ezweb, points people to a competitor because megacloud may use your personal information for marketing. But that competitor's policy is MUCH WORSE! It says You agree that [LaCie/wuala] and its affiliates can process, use and publish the data collected for marketing purposes. WTF? That's ALL DATA, not just personal info. And by AFFILIATES, not just the company itself! So you permit them to use your stored content to market to you (once they have the encryption key, which you give them if you ever share or access even a single file publicly or privately via the web.) WTF?

wow, and here you see a nice example of shit storm. I rarely comment here. But what here happens is just insane. Sure: I wont use this site to store passwords, illegal software, my banking pin or other things. But this site is good enough to store a massive amount of data for a good price (or even free) Just a question, why so many people are "riding" on the no contact form /info wave? I mean, a) this is the internet, privacy should be allowed for everyone, even for firms b) Do you think they store really a massive amount of data (we dont speak about, just a few thousend terabytes here) completely anonymous? Come on man, really... another point is: If you have important data! DONT FUCKING STORE THEM IN THE CLOUD! NEVER! EVER! Store them on disc, hd, cd and give them your friends, online storage is only a "quick" access solution of your important data. Not something to really on!

Site is great, service works as described, recommended. The people giving this site negative ratings are just mafiaa supporters.

Be VERY Careful with this. Remember Fileserve.com, Uploadstation.com... Filejungle.com? Well, this is the very SAME company and owner. This is a SCAM, if not, it WILL BE. Be very, very careful. Scam sites all across the network. Not to be trusted.

Yes, scam sites are all over the net and it is expected for online users to be cautious. We respect everyone's opinion, but we also suggest trying our service first before posting "not to be trusted" words that easy. Once you have tried it for about a week or two, give us your idea and we will be happy to accept whatever suggestion or criticism you might have.
It just keeps getting better and better. Love the new updates and features. Those need to PAY plan are just there if user choose to pay to get more of what they currently offer. It is a simply a choice.

WARNING: "MegaCloud is the only free cloud storage service..." When is anything ever Free? Think before you click.

We suggest trying our service first and see for yourself why we have wrote "it is the only free cloud storage..." There is a part where users pay for a plan if they think the free ones we offer still are not enough, but please be reminded that it is not a compulsory option before we let you use our service.
Love the design of the site

Reviewers say the service is free, but the privacy policy says you have to pay for it.

As a whole, we can say we are generous enough compare to other cloud services. Most of the MegaCloud features are offered absolutely free of charge. Please be assured that we do not force our users to pay for additional or more advanced features before they can use our service as we also offer other means to have them available via timely promotions.
This site is good, but the sync is low!
