Last updated
Encrypted cloud MEGA runs privacy branded IDs per platform with a mega.ios twin. Private storage holds login session plus vault metadata and offline file cache. The privacy string marks the security focus, unlike consumer cloud brands.
Files live encrypted server side with the account key. Downloaded copies dominate disk use. Manage them inside the app offline manager rather than by folder copies. Lose the recovery key and the vault stays shut on every device. Server copies stay authoritative. Session data remains private. Stored files return after login.
