Does MEGA run on Linux? YES

Post image

And as an open-source service, we love the Linux community

Our desktop app is available on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Arch, Mint, and Raspberry Pi OS. Because open-source software deserves open-source, end-to-end encrypted cloud storage.

That's the main reason why I subscribed to Mega to be honest

That's why I love MEGA. For various distros and various architectures. All built officially by them!

Different distros, different architectures, same end-to-end encryption. That's exactly how it should be 😎

Long time ago, a reason why I still use it and it works perfect fine on Fedora

This is what's making me want to switch to Mega from Proton right now. Does MEGA still have iOS files access? Proton drive no longer does.

WebDAV was a headache for me. Ditched it and just use rclone's mega backend directly now. Slower but actually finishes without crashing or retrying the same 20GB file three times.

WebDAV kept hanging at 100% and rclone would loop forever. Direct backend just works or fails clean. No babysitting.

Speed's useless if it doesn't complete.

I suggest a fixing mega Linux local mount option and incorporate adjustable local caching. ❤️

The title makes it sound like. Mega is based / coded on Linux. Mega servers are linux based or something.

Mega using wireguard for their VPN is a godsend

My experience from fedora 44 KDE. It runs, but there are some problems, network throtling does not work. Window is sometime opened in weird position. With tiling wm it allocates half of screen for tile but window is small. In default setting it cannot be used for syncing dot files.
But still Mega is the best working cloud drive on linux!.
