This means that users can reconstruct data even when one of the parts is unavailable. They also store another part in yet another country recording whether the number of '1' bits at a certain position within all parts is even or odd. MEGA also uses CloudRAID technology, which means files are split into roughly equal-sized parts and stored in different countries. 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. Therefore, they cannot be responsible for the contents of uploaded files.

Since Mega does not know the encryption keys to uploaded files, they cannot decrypt and view the content. 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.ĭata on Mega services is end-to-end encrypted client-side using the AES algorithm. MEGA mobile apps are also available for Android and iOS. The service is offered through web-based apps. MEGA (a recursive acronym standing for MEGA Encrypted Global Access) is a cloud storage and file hosting service offered by MEGA Limited, a company based in Auckland, New Zealand.
